The Movie Quote Game

A conversation between father and son. Hint: happens in a parade.

Ace: "Hello, cowboy."

J.R.: "I like your horse, Ace."

Ace: "So do I. Climb aboard."

J.R.: "Are you sober?"

Ace: "I'm as sober as the day you met me. I've been trying to find you all day."

J.R.: "Well I've been looking for you. You stole my horse, Ace."

Continued conversation between father and son. Hint: happens at a railroad siding.

Ace: "You ever hear from Johnny Mars?"

J.R.: "Yeah, he's bustin' horses out at Carlsbad. Still makes the El Paso show."

Ace: "And Buddy Cox? Always hollered 'as long as women live, my name will never die.'"

J.R.: "He's dead, dad. Car crash between Abilene and Dallas."

In addition to the title, name the director and the two principle actors above.

Total shot in the dark here, though I know its wrong because Chris historically posts quotes from obscure WWII action flicks and iconic westerns.

But I'm still gonna guess "Every Which Way But Loose", because it just feels like some dialogue that you'd hear in a Clint Eastwood Action/pseudo comedy.

You're on the right track. You've got the right genre and the right decade. Wrong star though.

[singsong]I know what it is, I know what it is. [/singsong]

Did it include in its cast an actor known for riding a more mechanical means of transportation than a horse?

Chris Hurd · June 24th, 2009, 11:05 PM

Indeed. And here I thought I had provided a stumper. Oh well...

In addition to the title, name the director and the two principle actors above.

Tell you what, I'll withdraw the previous quotes. Didn't realize how obscure that movie must seem
today, but it's an atypical example from one of my favorite directors of all time, Sam Peckinpah.

So in the interest of getting the show back on the road, I'll throw out an easy one:

"I wish they wouldn't land those things here while we're playing golf!"

Is it Mash?

Chris Hurd · July 1st, 2009, 02:27 PM

Your turn once again, Paul! Heh.

Paul Tauger · July 1st, 2009, 02:42 PM

Okay, let's see . . .

Character A: Morning, [Character B]. Back from holiday?
Character B: I wasn't on holiday, [Character A]. I was in solitary confinement.
Character A: Oh, it's nice to get a bit of time to yourself, isn't it?

No guesses from anyone? What's the matter . . . chicken? ;)

That's not from The Great Escape, is it?

Yeah, either that or "Victory" starring that guy from "Stop or My Mom will Shoot."

Oh, so close! But wrong. ;)

I hope that didn't ruffle your feathers.
