Official Movie Quote Showdown

Jamie is a movie-quote machine, and I think we watch a lot of the same movies so I always know which movie she is quoting from. Thus, I think we need a movie quote showdown to amuse ourselves.

Rules of the game(because rules help control the fun!)
1) Anyone can guess, and can contribute a quote.
2) No googling of quotes and then writing the answer. If you google it, you forfeit your right to play on that particular quote. LOL
3) You're welcome to provide clues if you think your quote is too obscure.

The first quote: "We had a nice couple of minutes together. She threatened me, I patronized her. Didn't have anything to eat, but I thought there was a connection. "

Bonus points for telling me which TV character said the above "Rules help control the fun." ;)

Ha! Andy Shepard (Michael Douglas) said it to Sydney Allen Wade (Annette Bening) in The American President, which, btw, used to be one of my FAVORITE romantic comedies, until I started watching The West Wing, and now I can no longer sit idly by and watch Martin Sheen play the Chief of Staff. It's just... wrong. That movie has one of my favorite-used lines ever, which is "It's sass, isn't it? You're sassing me." I use it all the time.

Next:

"I'm fabulous. Everyone says so."

and likewise, bonus for the character and actor. :-)

OH!! And it's Monica Geller from Friends.

I purposely picked something you ought to know. ;) It's one of my favourite romantic comedy too. Actually, Andy said that line to AJ referring to Sidney though.

Is yours from The African Queen? Said by Katharine Hepburn although I don't recall her character's name at the moment.

I'm now thinking I'm totally off the mark with my guess. Give me a hint of the decade it is from. I have so many possibilities in my mind...

you're on the semi-right track.

I can't hint you more without giving too much away.

And is Martin Sheen's name really AJ in TAP? That seems so... ODD. I don't know why, it just does. And yes, of course, he didn't say it TO Sydney. *smacks forehead*

Is that word verification thing here because you got spammed? It's like, eye-exam hard.

September 4, 2005 at 4:08 p.m.  
Blogger Brain Diva said...

LOL Yes, I put that up to prevent spamming. It is quite the funny device.

Okay, Katharine Hepburn? The Philadephia Story?

Man, do I ever love Beethoven's Mass in C Major. I'm listening to the awesome recording I had bought to rehearse when I sang it last year. I love that mass.

September 4, 2005 at 4:27 p.m.  
Blogger Gina said...

It's Tracy Lord from The Philadelphia Story. No?

:)

"You were going to be a gymnast."
"A journalist."
"Right, that's what I said."

Is no one coinf to confess to my blog?? Eh?

If Jamie doesn't know then I think we need a hint madamoiselle.

Seeing as I can literally recite every line of "When Harry Met Sally" by myself, I would say this is where this is from. ;) It's the scene in the plane the second time they meet. LOL

"Isn't my house classic? The columns date all the way back to 1972."

In other news, there is a air show in TO this afternoon, and the planes are noisy, dang it.

Sorry I erased my comments because you can't edit, and I made a mistake. Duly noted, though. I shall add a hint if Jamie doesn't know where this is from.

Well, G., 1) I would never commit my dark side to a public space like a blog, and 2) I just don't have much of an interesting dark side. LOL

Pooper. Everyone can be anonymous. Just do it later.

In other news, I am having an anxiety attack. I think it's over thinking about the comming two weeks and things i have to organize and worry about.

I would just be guessing at your quote by saying "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" when she brings him home.

It's Cher from Clueless.

And my Tracy Lord quote was actually Grace Kelly in "High Society," but I guess she said it in PS as well.

Except you can't really be anonymous since there are only a few people who post. I'm not trying to ruin your idea but honestly, I have no idea what I would write anyway.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Take a deep breath. September is one crazy month for many of us. *hugs*

Hint: teen movie

A new one for us, Ms. Jamie?

I know, it was a silly idea. I thought I might draw more posters with the anonymous angle.

Well I have a sitter for the JJ concert, so that is one thing off my list. More urgently I need one for Tues afternoon when we have our little session.

I have one...

"In time, you'll see that this is the best thing"

"In time, you'll drop dead and I'll come to yor funeral in a red dress."

Blogger Brain Diva said...

It wasn't silly but maybe you shouldn't start with such a heavy topic if you want to increase readership. Besides, honestly, it is nicer to have a smaller community because we tend to talk more freely. I don't really post on heavy traffic blogs. At least, nothing of importance.

I'm having a "I'm 15 all over again" afternoon. I read some XF fanfic earlier, and I'm currently lying on my bed, listening to some CDs fairly loudly, and singing at the top of my lungs.

I didn't think it was heavy, I was going for "provocative". To me, heavy would be "How you feel about abortion and the Robert's confirmation." LOL I guess I'm a freak. I'm just in a really weird mood today. My head is swirling.

Where's J?

September 4, 2005 at 5:20 p.m.  
Blogger Brain Diva said...

You're not a freak. I might be a bit uptight. LOL But to me asking questions probing the dark side is kind of heavy. YMMV.

Your quote? Cher's character in Moonstruck?

September 4, 2005 at 5:29 p.m.  
Blogger Gina said...

Yes. Any names? Who said the first line?

I'm going down to try to get dinner organized. But will peek in here.

September 4, 2005 at 5:33 p.m.  
Blogger Brain Diva said...

The first line was by Nic Cage's character... I've never seen this movie but for some reason I knew it was that. Maybe I've heard it quoted before.

Nope. C'mon, ladies!! I expect more from you both. This fine actor is known for his hilarity, but has lately become a sort of "thinking woman's" sex symbol and strayed away from his comic roots to indie dramas.

And mmmmmm, CHINESE! That sounds SO good. *sigh*

ok here's more that might let on some...

"Don't give me that tone!"
"What tone?"
"That sarcastic contemptuous tone that means you know everything because you're a man, and I know nothing because I'm a woman."
"You're not a woman."
"Oh you bastard!"

Hee. Right track. I think I have been telling you to see this movie lately.

It's set in Miami, and yes involves cross dressing.

September 5, 2005 at 1:04 a.m.  
Blogger Brain Diva said...

You have? Hmmm. The only cross-dressing movie set in Miami I can think of is "The Birdcage". Which I have seen many times. But the quote doesn't strike me as being from that.

September 5, 2005 at 1:06 a.m.  
Blogger Brain Diva said...

Actually, now that I think about it, this quote is totally from that movie. It's an exchange between Robin Williams and Nathan Lane.

By the way, that movie is a remake of a French movie.

September 5, 2005 at 1:10 a.m.  
Blogger Gina said...

I am so not afraid of your Frenchness. ;)

I think if I were to take one pill a day, with wine to follow, I would be fine, and would get over this. Is that a bad thing? The mental stuff could follow in suit.

September 5, 2005 at 1:14 a.m.  
Blogger Brain Diva said...

Well, I don't know what pill you are talking about... But self-medicating with alcohol is not the best idea ever.

September 5, 2005 at 1:15 a.m.

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)


You know what pill. And yes, self medicating is bad, especially when I have real medication. *snort*

I'll figure it all out at some point. I think I'm ashamed to tell them that I am still struggling with the issue. How pathetic am I? They are going to think I'm insane. I know he does, as do his friends.

It's nighty night time.
