Let's play a game: "Identify that movie quote!"

1) "Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here, Alva. The lowest. Do you realize that? Every other secretary here has been here longer than you, Alva. Every one. And even if there was someone here who was here even one day longer than you, I still wouldn't ask that person to partake in such a miserable job as long as you were around. That's right, Alva. It's a horrible, horrible job; sifting through old contract after old contract. I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it! You have to or I'll fire you. You understand? Do you? Good."

New quote for 10/3/05:
2) "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving."

 

10/4/05:
3) "See, that's the difference between you and me, and why you live here and I'm just passing through."
4) "I should think that if people were to get the wrong impression of me, the one to which you so eloquently refer, it wouldn't be the wrong impression in the slightest."

That's four now, people! Let's get crackin'!

 

2) "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving."


Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now.


I have two out there that no ones answering so Ill just do an easy one:

" Put out the fire, will ya Chief "

 

Hay Darth_Pazuzu, I know you stared this thread and good jobfor it, but I was wondering why you start a quote everyday, when there are quotes out by other people that you cant get?

 

Because other people's quotes tend to be as obscure to me as a lot of my quotes are to other people.
Sad, but true...

1) "Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here, Alva. The lowest. Do you realize that? Every other secretary here has been here longer than you, Alva. Every one. And even if there was someone here who was here even one day longer than you, I still wouldn't ask that person to partake in such a miserable job as long as you were around. That's right, Alva. It's a horrible, horrible job; sifting through old contract after old contract. I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it! You have to or I'll fire you. You understand? Do you? Good."

2) "See, that's the difference between you and me, and why you live here and I'm just passing through."

3) "I should think that if people were to get the wrong impression of me, the one to which you so eloquently refer, it wouldn't be the wrong impression in the slightest."

All of these quotes are re-posts. I've got nothing new to add for today, I'm just bringing everybody up to date...

 

Did anyone come up with a guess on mine....

"when a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a **** on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the red cross."

 

Sorry...

 

ok...this one will give it away..but let's get rid of it..so we can move on. try this.

"did he fire six shots or only five..to tell you the truth I've kinda lost track myself in all this excitement but being this is 44 magnum; the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off..you've got to ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky...well do ya punk"

 

Clint Eastwood as the title character in Dirty Harry!

 

By the way, redsabreanakin, are you any closer to figuring out any of my three quotes yet?

Just to refresh everybody:
1) "Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here, Alva. The lowest. Do you realize that? Every other secretary here has been here longer than you, Alva. Every one.

You understand? Do you? Good."

2) "See, that's the difference between you and me, and why you live here and I'm just passing through."

3) "I should think that if people were to get the wrong impression of me, the one to which you so eloquently refer, it wouldn't be the wrong impression in the slightest."

I actually think that this list has weezer written all over it!
I won't post any more quotes until these ones get answered...

 

Number one is "Vampire's Kiss", I think.

 

That is absolutely correct, Zaz!

One down, two to go...

 

New quote for 10/18/05!:
1) "If I rob Mulligan's pharmacy, are you going to whack me if I don't give you a piece of the action?"

And...lest we forget:
2) "See, that's the difference between you and me, and why you live here and I'm just passing through."

3) "I should think that if people were to get the wrong impression of me, the one to which you so eloquently refer, it wouldn't be the wrong impression in the slightest."

 

Still no one has gotten my cool quote, there's a hint

Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.



Pazuzu, is # 2 from Big Fish?

 

#1 is from "A History of Violence" I saw that this past friday

 

Hey Ghost, is yours from Cool Hand Luke? I saw it years ao but that line sounds familiar...
I'm a bit new to this so this one'll probably be easy:
This is going straight to the pool room!

 

A hint for Ghost_Jedi: #2 was directed by Oliver Stone.

 

Ok, that may have given it away. U-Turn?

 

Axicana got mine

 

Obi-Wan2001 got it right!

 

Try this one:

"Positively Homeric!"

 

Is that from Napoleon Dynamite, Zaz? I haven't actually seen it, so I'm just guessing...

In the meantime, just to bring us up to date:
1) "I should think that if people were to get the wrong impression of me, the one to which you so eloquently refer, it wouldn't be the wrong impression in the slightest."

2) "I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that one should become a person like other people."

(Hint about #1: It's from a movie loosely based on the lives of early '70s rock stars.)

 

Is # 1 Spinal Tap

 

Sorry, Ghost_Jedi! Try again...

 

1) "I should think that if people were to get the wrong impression of me, the one to which you so eloquently refer, it wouldn't be the wrong impression in the slightest."
