I think most people my flist will probably have seen Shati's post, but just in case not: this is important.

In other news, I am cleaning my room and I am procrastinating, so, stolen from various people: that movie quotes meme.

Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
Post them here for everyone to guess.
Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. (I am not doing this; I shall just put who guessed it, and if people still want to guess they can!)
NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1. "What terrible sins I have working for me. I suppose it's the wages."

2. "And Master, sir, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall assert, that I am an ass." Guessed by dramaturgca and jezrana

3. "I will perform the opening prayer in the New Latin. Oh ordlay, ivethgay usway ouryay essingsblay. Amen-ay!" Guessed by dramaturgca

4. "I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me." Guessed by in_the_blue

5. "Well, wasn't it Shakespeare that said, 'When strangers do meet in far off lands, they should e'er long see each other again'?"
"Shakespeare never said that!"
"How do you know?"
"It's terrible. You just made it up."
"Well, it sounds right . . ."

6. "He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be, well . . . All the best minds used to think the world was flat. But what if it isn't? It might be round. And bread mold might be medicine. If we never looked at things and thought of what might be, why, we'd all still be out there in the tall grass with the apes."

7. "I only drank tea once - in a hospital." Guessed by jothra

8. "Children can be very queer about their animals." Guessed by sotto_voice

9. "Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster." Guessed by agonistes

10. "Well, in all my years I ain't never heard, seen nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about. Hell yeah! I'm for debating anything." Guessed by winding_path

11. "Beware, for..."
"Just forget it."
"Oh, please. I haven't said it in such a long time."
"Oh, all right. But don't expect a big reaction."
"No, no, no, of course not. [clears throat] For the path you will take will lead you to certain destruction! Thank you very much." Guessed by jothra

12. "As the producer, I can fire anybody I want, and I am fucking fired!"

13. "If only we hadn't missed that train at Budapest."
"Well, I don't want to rub it in, but if you hadn't insisted on standing up until they'd finished their national anthem..."
"Yes, but you must show respect, [name]. If I'd known it was going to last twenty minutes..."
"It has always been my contention that the Hungarian Rhapsody is not their national anthem."

14. "Esteem him? Like him? Use those insipid words again and I shall leave the room this instant." Guessed by dramaturgca

15. "You mean you poisoned a dragon? Or just the liver?" Guessed by jothra

2. Close, but no cigar.
9. Correct! *beams*

One out of two ain't bad.

[agonistes]

*checks on Google*

DAMN! I thought it was a little too obvious for Midsummer, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what would be more plausible. :(

[jothra]

Gosh. Many of these sound very familiar, but there are two I am sure of without even thinking about!

7. The Great Escape! It's Henley, talking to Colin.

11. Labyrinth! Hoggle and one of the stone faces on the wall.

15. wait, wait, is that Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

[skygiants]

All three are correct! *bestows laurel wreaths upon you, beaming*

4. Casablanca. Louis to Rick. That's the only one I know.

2. Much Ado, said with such gusto by Michael Keaton in the Branagh.
3. Men in Tights.

Professional drivers are asking American citizens to participate in the "National Shut-Down"

This is an issue effecting all of us and we MUST take a stand NOW. Our government IS a major contributing factor in the outrageous price of fuel...we must take this action to get their attention. All other avenues has only fallen on deaf ears - our government is ignoring the will, and needs, of the American people.
