meme-tastic!

Oh boy, I got memed! Jaime, who tagged me, explains the feeling perfectly. "No one loves being tagged more than girl grown-up after a childhood of exclusion. Hey kids, it's okay if junior high was miserable - when you're grown up and have a blog, it'll be that much more exciting when you get tagged with a meme." Girl, you read my mind.

The rules: Look up 15 of your favorite films on IMDb and take a quote from each. List them below. When someone guesses the quote correctly, I cross it off the list. NO CHEATING.

So here are quotes from 15 of my favorite movies, in no particular order - the ones that have been correctly guessed are in italics:

1)
- Repeat after me. Pepper.

- Pepper.
- Pepper.
- Pepper.
- Waiter, there is too much pepper on my paprikash.
- Waiter, there is too much pepper on my paprikash.
- But I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie.
(When Harry Met Sally, way to go Jaime!)

2)
After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.
(Annie Hall, way to go Audiomaverick!)

3)
- I hate to use the word 'tourist' but it's not like I can hide it...
- Not really.
- [sigh] Did you know it took me three hours to get here from the airport? I got so lost. LA's one big place, but I guess you don't notice, seeing as you live here. Im such a yokel, there I said it!
- Oh jeez. You know what? I got gum on my seat. GUM!
(Speed, well done 4thFloorNYC!)

4)
- I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am. And what's worse, I can't seem to stop saying things - anything and everything I think and feel.
- Some people would call that honesty.
- Oh, but it's terrible, Reverend Mother.
(The Sound of Music, nice one Anonymous!)

5)
But wouldn't it be great if number one this Christmas wasn't some smug teenager but an old ex-heroin addict searching for a comeback at any price? All those young popsters come Christmas Day, they'll be stretched out naked with a cute bird balancing on their balls and I'll be stuck in some dingy flat with me manager, Joe, ugliest man in the world, fucking miserable because our fucking gamble didn't pay off. So if you believe in Father Christmas, children, like your Uncle Billy does, buy my festering turd of a record.
(Love Actually
, way to go Audiomaverick!)

6)
I decided to stop pitying myself. Other than my eye, two things aren't paralyzed, my imagination and my memory.
(The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, way to go Jaime!)

7)
Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other... jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most... masochistic.

8)
- Can we get somebody over here to kill these mice for us?
- No. They belong to Chas. Or anyway he invented them.
- Get him to stick them in a fucking cage or something.
(The Royal Tenenbaums, way to go Ken!)

9)
And cause I was a gazillionaire, and I liked doin it so much, I cut that grass for free.
(Forrest Gump,
way to go Audiomaverick!)

10)
*That's* what you get! Ha Ha! Look at you! Ya ship's all banged up! Who's the man? Huh? Who's the man? Wait till I get another plane! I'm a line ya friends up right beside you! Where ya at, huh? Where ya at? ...Welcome to earth.
(Independence Day,
way to go Audiomaverick!)

11)
- Do you feel alone right now?
- Oh, I dunno. I mean I'd like to believe I'm not but I just... I've just never seen any proof so I... I just don't debate it anymore, you know? It's like I could spend my whole life debating it over and over again, weighing the pros and cons and in the end I still wouldn't have any proof so I just... I just don't debate it anymore. It's absurd.
- The search for God is absurd?
- It is if everyone dies alone.
(Donnie Darko, well done Michelle!)

12)
That was the summer of 1963 - when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.
(Dirty Dancing,
way to go Audiomaverick!)

13)
Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew, Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas, are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off. [to Jonesy the cat] Come on, cat.
(Alien, well done 4thFloorNYC!)

14)
The space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. Sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don't let me go. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. She said, a triscuit - a biscuit. Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. Ooh, Shelly's out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma's credit. I'm cool. I'm hot. Sock me in the stomach three more times.
(Big, way to go Anonymous!)

15)
I smell varmint poontang. And the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang, I think.
(Caddyshack, nice one Anonymous!)


Okay! Hey Jeffrey, Rocco, Alison, (what the hell) Manolo, and (double what the hell) Michael Musto - TAG, you're it!!

1. When Harry Met Sally
4. Sister Act?
6. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (haven't seen the movie, but knowing what it's about, it seems possible...)
13. Serenity (I am a guessing machine)

1 is the only one I'm sure of, but what the heck. And 15 sounds awesome, whatever it is.

Moxie said...

Audiomaverick is 100% correct!

Jaime, see Diving Bell, IMMEDIATELY.

Is number 14 Big? Not sure but I keep think of Tom Hanks..

Ken said...

Number 8 is "The Royal Tenenbaums"!

4thFloorNYC said...

4. SPEED!!!!

4thFloorNYC said...

I meant 3! Crap!!
3 = speed!

4thFloorNYC said...

14 - Aliens?

4thFloorNYC said...

13 is Aliens. Crap! Sorry - I'm slightly tarded today.

Moxie said...

Close enough, but actually #13 is Alien, the original - Aliens is the sequel, the Cameron one, totally different but also amazing. The quote from that movie would be "Get away from her, you BITCH!" But Alien is my favorite.

Michelle said...

#11 - Donnie Darko!

Number 4 is Agnes of God

Moxie said...

#4 isn't Agnes of God, good guess though!

Anonymous said...

Of course not, since I just realized it's from The Sound of Music! So easy!

#15 is Caddyshack.
