No. 14 |
I picked these in response to a challenge on Facebook a few years back, and I took sort of a different twist. In most cases here, the quote I used is not the one everyone thinks of when they think of that particular movie.
It a secondary one that still resonates.
One great irony. One of the quotes -- No. 6, to be exact -- is one I can't remember the movie. Help me out of you can.
Anyway, here they are. I'll post the movies tomorrow.
1. I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill.
2. Zero ... point ... zero.
3. I want to party with you, cowboy.
4. You dirt-eating piece of slime! You scum-sucking pig! You son of a motherless goat!
5. Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don't buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give you them for free!
6. If you go any faster we're gonna travel back in time.
7. A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
8. Listen, no matter what she says to you, don't answer her back. There's a Confederate pistol in her lap under her shawl and she'll kill you quick as look at you.
9. She can't act. She can't sing. She can't dance. A triple threat.
10. I don't care how rich he is, as long as he has a yacht, his own private railroad car, and his own toothpaste.
11. We just don't recognize life's most significant moments while they're happening. Back then I thought, "Well, there'll be other days." I didn't realize that that was the only day.
12. Great game, Jimmy. I especially liked that move in the seventh inning when you scratched your balls for an hour.
13. Boss needs to be knocked on his ass every once in a while.
14. We should mate.
15. Don't worry about it. They always hire bums like me for jobs like this.
Go to it.
The Last Boy Scout. great buddy film. #6. Way too many great lines.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you're still kickin and writin. My son Charlie is now 13 years breaking in to Hollywood. A couple of small films; now pursuing ideas for Audible. Last year he had a dream job as a Copy Writer for Ticketmaster's website--he was forced to watch every possible football, basketball, and baseball game 'for the job'. Got paid overtime, and they paid for the Sunday Ticket, too.
