The Quote Game

Alright, the rules are simple. Guess the movie that a quote came from and then keep the game rolling with a new quote (or quotes) for others to guess.

I'll kick it off with a few quotes...

1. "If you hold back anything, I'll kill you. If you bend the truth or I think your bending the truth, I'll kill you. If you forget anything I'll kill you. In fact, you're gonna have to work very hard to stay alive. Now do you understand everything I've said? Because if you don't, I'll kill you."

2. "First person that comes out this fucking door gets a... gets a lead salad, you understand? "

3. "I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn't my fault, I swear to god!"

4. "The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of it's forms - greed for life, for money, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you."

1. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

2. Fight Club

3. The Blues Brothers

4. Wall Street


I. "Judas was content with $4,970 less."

II. "I want my $2!"

III. "Were those MAGIC grits?"

IV. "Yeah, would you buy furniture at a store called Unpained Huffhines?"

Sorry, that last should be "Unpainted Huffhines"

Additional clue for No. 1

"Keep your ever lovin' brother happy."

"How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders?"

Wow. I guess mine were way too easy. Brantley's sure weren't. I only knew Vinny and Raising Arizona.

As for the elusive #1, the first two quotes didn't ring a bell, but the last finally did. I can't remember the name of it, but I think it's a western with Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson. It's an older movie from the 1960s or 1970s. Henry Fonda that suspenders line (or at least something really similar).

Then again, I might be thinking of something totally different because I can't remember the other lines being in the movie.

Aha! Did some searching and found the title of the movie of which I was thinking. Once Upon a Time in the West Still don't know if it's right, though.

You got it! It was 1968. A real classic.

OK, here's one:

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock."

That's easy: Orson Welles in THE THIRD MAN. He's said to have ad-libbed it, and he even gets credit for it in Bartlett's.

Here's one:
I'm everyone and no one. I'm everywhere and nowhere."

Darkman?

Only I think it goes, "I'm everywhere and nowhere. I'm every man and no man."

I think it's from Bridges of Madison County. Yes, I've actually watched Bridges of Madison County. :oops:

Here are a couple of quotes from a terrific movie...

"You're dumber than you think I think you are."

"I'm respectable. I'm old. Politicians, public buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough."

OK, Rasa, it's been a week now. We give up ...

Darkman?

Only I think it goes, "I'm everywhere and nowhere. I'm every man and no man."

The way I heard it on the AMC late night movie was the one that I posted. Never heard it the way you posted but it is Darkman.

Bah! I was wrong. And Argonaut, those quotes are from Chinatown.

And DARKMAN isn't exactly a non-genre movie. Should have realized that....

Here's two.

1. "My old man told me before he lef this shitty world, never chase women or buses. You'll always get left behind."

2. "Six foot peaks!? There aren't any six foot peaks in this whole shitty country"

They're not that hard are they?

Sorry -- I suck at this.

So, do I give the answer? How does this work?

I think the second quote is from Apocalypse Now. The first one has me stumped.
