Multi-Line Movie Quotes

"He Did It! He Missed The Barn!"

This blogmeme was so much fun (and so darn easy to put together...) that I had to do it one more time!

This time I picked exchanges between two (or more) actors. Some of the quotes I just find funny. Others are favorites for more personal reasons. Giving you the actual character names would make it far too easy, so every name has been replaced with A, B, C, etc.

Same rules as before... here’s how it works:

1) As readers correctly identify the quotes’ cinematic origins in the comments, I'll strike out the quotes and name the commenter who answered correctly.

2) If the commenter also identifies the name of the speakers (the characters or the actors), he or she gets bonus points in the form of a link to his or her site.


OK, here's 15 quotes from 15 assorted movies! Some are considered cinema classics, some are a complete waste of celluloid.

Have fun! Oh, no cheating! Using Google, IMDB or other Internet-related sources is strictly verboten!! It’s more fun if you try to figure these out from memory:

Oh, one more thing... Rockhauler, you and I watch virtually the same movies. This oughta be like shooting fish in a barrel for you, so let the other readers guess this time! You're welcome to play, but email me your picks instead of posting to comments! Update: RH plows through 14 of 15 via email, leaving me no choice but to take up watching Eurotrash art films for Quotememe III...

B: What's wrong with my eyes?
A: They're all red & bloodshot!

B: Indeed no, sir. I'm merely a humble butler.

B: I do not drink, it is against my religion!
A: Religion is a good thing I say, taken in moderation.
Larry from Last Refuge of a Scoundrel nails this exchange between Eddie Murphy & Denholm Elliot in 'Trading Places'. I probably should have included their next exchange of lines:

EM: Ohh...

4) A: God, I hate that bitch.
B: Probably shouldn't have married her then, huh?

A: A which?

B: What am I doing? I'm quietly judging you.

8) A: You are a very strange man.

Jerry of Back Home Again nails this quote. Of all the movie quotes out there, this one (From 'Reversal of Fortune', said by Ron Silver & Jeremy Irons) is the most "this is me" quote I've found yet.


9) A: You travel a lot?
B: Yeah.
A: Traveling makes you lonely?
B: I'm alone, I am not lonely.

10) A: I've got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. My original plan has been scuppered now that the jeeps haven't arrived. My communications are completely broken down. Do you really believe any of that can be helped by a cup of tea?
B: Couldn't hurt, sir.

C: It must be very good.

B: Oh Christ, today?
A: Come on, executive bonding! Raucous, unfunny jokes. And we'll kiss your ass in the hopes you'll mistake it for affection.
B: How degrading for you. I'll be there. What time?
A: Twelve thirty. Bring your ass!

Good Luck!!
