Stole this from luna_puella. I never do the 'guess-which-song-this-is' because I listen to a very limited amount of music, so that wouldn't be fun. But I can do this!
1. Pick twenty of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling, using IMDB search or other search functions.
The "twenty favourite movies" will simply be the "movies that I can think of in a short amount of time". I'm sure I'll be forgetting some favourites, to which I apologize.
1. It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's SURE. We nine can't understand how you three are still so sure. Maybe you can tell us. guessed by Mum
2. "Voice confirmation required."
"Uhhh..."
"Voice confirmation accepted." guessed by luna_puella
3. An unhappy alternative lies before you. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry ***, and I will never see you again if you *do*. guessed by isabelgou
Note: I had to blank out the name, otherwise it would be too easy.
4. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. guessed by arnoudens
5. Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself! guessed by isabelgou
6. And then Jack chopped down what was the world's last beanstalk, adding murder and ecological terrorism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned and all the giant's children didn't have a daddy any more. But he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you're a hero, because no one asks inconvenient questions. guessed by discworldian
7. Why can't a woman be more like a man? guessed by luna_puella
8. He was my North, my South, my East, and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. guessed by silvershade
9. "Did you see that coming?"
"Yeah... but I was hoping she was expelled, or into hard drugs."
"That was my first instinct too. Or a DWI... anything but this!"
10. "What kind of music do you usually have here?"
"Oh, we got both kinds. We got country and western." guessed by fub
11. "What's that?"
"This, my friend, is a pint."
"It comes in pints? " guessed by fub
12. When you're going to kill a god, let someone else do your dirty work. guessed by fub
13. You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.guessed by isabelgou... eventually
14. Tell a person that you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody is a theology scholar. guessed by isabelgou
15. "What's your sole purpose in this army?"
"To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!"
"God damn it, ***! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard."guessed by breyten and later by sol_nuada
Note: if I hadn't blanked out the name, it would really be too easy.
16. Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who. guessed by sbslink
17. First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let's say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever's sleeping is your man. You see, if you're guilty, you know you're caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down.
18. I don't want to be a pie. I don't like gravy.
19. "Late 14th Ming Dynasty. Oh it breaks the heart."
"And the head. You hit me dad."
"I'll never forgive myself."
"Don't worry I'm all right."
"Thank God... it's fake. See you can tell with the cross sections."guessed by isabelgou
20. "We'll never survive."
"Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has. " guessed by luna_puella
I wonder if they'll all be guessed. I certainly wouldn't be able to guess them all if I saw them at someone else's lj. So by all means, surprise me.
