T2 Sarah Conner.

I don't believe this one has come up yet...

Personal note: When I was little my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so when I was six, I did.

I've got another couple of quotes which should give the game away if the above isn't enough.

Woohoo! One I actually know. This one is from Pi. Hmm...now I have to think of a quote...ah! This is from a foreign film, so I will put it in the language of the movie, and a translation in English. I'm not sure of the spelling though, of the original language....

Bonjourno Principaesa!!

In English: Good morning Princess!!

Someone actually got it! That'll teach me to type faster Well done Zex. One of my favorite films. It doesn't exactly stand up to mathematical scrutiny, but I like the style, and the music, and the director (though he seems to be cursed never to get any more films out of pre-production)



OK, another quote from the same film.

11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

Next

Sol: "This is insanity, Max!"
Max: "Or what if it's genius?"

And before we forget

12:50, press Return.

That's from a great movie, "Life is Beautiful". I remember seeing that in the theater when it first came out. Here's a quote that I like:

Person 1: Don't touch it! Don't touch it!
Person 2: Well I wasn't gonna touch it, I was just pointing at it...
Person 1: Well don't point.
Person 2: Can I look at it?
Person 1: No. No, you've seen enough of that one already.

Mmmm. I cheated and both Google'd and went to the Imdb, and I still don't know what movie it's from. So make sure you say if it's the same movie or not, because I don't want an unfair advantage.

Keen observers will note that I hate mystery so much that if I don't know the answer, I'll look it up and shut up about it.

The film is This is Spinal Tap (which I've seen only slightly less than a million times) and I didn't cheat, I just wasn't paying attention.

And now...

I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.

Yeah, that's American Pie. I was hoping it'd be an obvious movie that everyone here thought was beneath them. Oh well, your turn.

<steeples fingers> Exxxxcellent...

Two quotes from the same movie, just because I couldn't decide which one I liked better.

I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's somebody else who's more important she should be talking to. And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack, you know?

and

I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's really hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet.

A friend of mine actually had a small speaking part in this movie, but she didn't want to join the Screen Actor's Guild and so didn't get any royalties when it actually made lots of money. Her picture even ended up on the back of the CD, and her scene was shown at the MTV movie awards show. Bummer, eh?

I knew that quote sounded familiar, but I've only seen that movie once, long enough ago that I would have no idea.

No clue on the current one, either, although I've probably seen it.

That was from "The Rock", not "Edward Scissorhands".

How about this one:
I am honored, and grateful that you invited me to your home on the wedding day of your daughter. May their first child be a masculine child. I pledge my never ending loyalty.

Well, yeah, that does...I've never even seen the movie, but I know that it is Fight Club. Funny, the first quote I thought it could have been Platoon or Full Metal Jacket, but I was pretty sure it wasn't, so I didn't even bother guessing...

Okay, here's my quotes:

[Someone's name]. One of the few Floridians who was NOT confused when he voted for Pat Buchanan.

and

Let's get the hell outta here, [someone else's name]. I think I hear one of them silent alarms.

Two quotes because the movie didn't last as long as it deserven in the theaters (bad release timing, too close to 9/11).

Edit: oh, hell, why not...here's another quote:

Was that a goat?

Game on,

It's a cliché, noman. "Let's get the hell out of here" is one of the most overused lines in the history of ficion.

Of course "I've got a bad feeling about this..." is one of the worst offenders.

Okay, the movie I was quoting was Big Trouble, the movie adaptation of a very funny Dave Barry book. An intelligently funny movie, go rent it!

This one might be easy, but what the hell, you guys deserve it:

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

And then later in the movie...

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Hmmm, that's probably not enough to get it...oh, well.
