Let's play a game. You post a famous quote from a movie. Memebrs can guess the name of the movie, the actor/actress, and the character's name. One point for each. Post several quotes, and keep score!

"You do know how to whistle don't you? You just put put lips together an blow."

"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges."

"I'm on top of the world ma."

I'll be back."

The truth? You can't handle the truth."

Three toughies and two easy. Have fun!

Oh yeah ? I think your research is wrong: one misquote (already pointed out) and then:
  • to have and have not is older than Key Largo -- (granted, she does say Steve in between the sentences)
  • and you misquoted #2 -- He does not say that sentence as you typed it. The chap in BS does !
Define cheating ?
 
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
 
"You haven't got any ... your future is all used up."

"The truth hurts, doesn't it, Hapsburg? Oh sure, maybe not as much as landing on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts!"

Come on man, it's a game. So, there were two misquotes, but you got the idea.

I think I'm just being captain obvious on this one, but this sounds like 2001: A Space Odyssey. I haven't seen it in some time; last time I saw it I was young enough to be frightened by it.

Fine with me. But being associated with cheating and being called wrong wrongly does something to the hairs in my neck. Strange, because otherwise I'm such a nice guy :smile: ...
