The adventures of an Eloise wannabe and her 2 roustabout kitties as they work on a book deal in the City of Lights, giggling all the way.
Friday game time!
Stolen from the ultra-fab Ms. Mac, a cool game for Friday afternoon. Here's how it works:
- Pick fifteen of your favourite movies.
- Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
- Post them here for everyone to guess.
- Strike it out when someone guesses correctly in the comments, and put who guessed it and the movie.
- NO Googling or using IMDb search functions.
Here are mine:
1. Listen, your job is to back me up, because you'd starve without me. And you, your job is to shut up.
2. Beethoven had his critics too, Keithy, see if you can name three of them. That's right, you can't.
3. My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!
4. Well, judgin' from his tracks, he's about six and a half feet tall. He eats raw squirrels and all the cats he can catch. There's a long, jagged scar that runs all the way across his face. His teeth are yella and rotten. His eyes are popped. And he drools most of the time. James, To Kill A Mockingbird
5. Hand me the fucking keys, you cocksucker, what the fuck? Ms. Mac, The Usual Suspects
6. Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you. Rosie, Good Will Hunting
7. Let me help you. Step down. Here we go! The drum major's widow! She's worn his coat since the day he died. The horse's head has lost an ear! That's the florist laughing. He has crinkly eyes. In the bakery window, lollipops. Smell that! They're giving out melon slices! Sugarplum, ice cream! We're passing the park butcher. Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45! Now the cheese shop. Picadors are 12.90. Cabecaus 23.50. A baby's watching a dog that's watching the chickens. Now we're at the kiosk by the metro. I'll leave you here. Bye! Tara, The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain
8. Angel Vs. Ferris. Who ever loses there virginity first wins! Amanda, Little Darlings
9. I'm not the guy you kill. I'm the guy you buy! Are you so fucking blind that you don't even see what I am? I sold out Arthur for 80 grand. I'm your easiest problem and you're gonna kill me? Ms. Mac, Michael Clayton
10. Everything in this room is eatable, even I'm eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies. Jenn C, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
11. Listen. I work for the CIA. I am not a spy. I just read books! We read everything that's published in the world. And we... we feed the plots - dirty tricks, codes - into a computer, and the computer checks against actual CIA plans and operations. I look for leaks, I look for new ideas... We read adventures and novels and journals. I... I... Who'd invent a job like that? Gina, 3 Days of the Condor
12. You know, I first started in this business, I was a little, bitty guy with a shaky leg. So, Ed Sullivan saw me and said, "Mmm, son of a bitch." Anyway, they put me on TV and filmed me from the waist up. You know, I'm goin'... Red, Elvis, That's The Way It Is
13. What have I got to be worked up about? I've only got a stole horse; everybody except the Coast Guard is after me; I've got nothin' but miles of open country to cross; and now I'm carrying a crazy woman around wearin' shoes from Bloomingbirds who thinks she's seen a rattlesnake round up. Gina, Electric Horseman
14. WHOA DREAM BIG! Ms. Mac, Juno
15. No, you submit, do you hear? You be strong, you survive... You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you. Kacey, The Last of The Mohicans
Knock yourselves out!
I only know one. the Last one #15 From Last of the Mohican's. Don't ask me character names, I'm terrible with them. But the Daniel Day Lewis character says it to, Madeliene Stowe, when he's leaving the waterfall and leaving her behind.

#6 is Good Will Hunting. Ben Affleck's character says it to Will, Matt Damon's character.
That last one is a fave of mine. I had it in my blog last week on Reader's Gab at Access Romance. Great minds huh?

Number 10 is on the tip of my tongue...

#8. Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
I am so sure I know #4, but it's right on the tip of my brain.
Posted by: Laura Thomson | Friday, February 22, 2008 at 08:54 PM
OK, I suspect #9 might be Michael Clayton...?
Posted by: Stella | Friday, February 22, 2008 at 09:13 PM
Yes, 9 is "Michael Clayton".
4 is "To Kill a Mockingbird".
