"Attica! Attica!"

Bonus points for the name of the character.

Hmm... Sonny, in Dog Day Afternoon?

You got it Chris, I thought of that prison reference line from that movie due to McMahon's infraction.

I think Tony Manero also said that line in Saturday Night Fever.

Fire Away!

Chris E-mailed me to take the next quote so here it is,
The first lines from a recent hit that I'm viewing on netflix:

Phone ringing.
"Nine One One Emergency."
(breathing hard into phone)
"I need an ambulance."
"I have you at ninety two twelve West third street, Los Angeles."
(Nods, close up, hand in face, phone at ear.)
"It's room number two."
"What's the emergency?"
"There's been a suicide."
"Who's the victim?"
"I am."

Seven pounds !!

You got it Dimitri - Take it away!

here's a short one

"And when it's stopped being random, that's when it started to go wrong."

I'm pretty sure I've never seen the movie, but could you give another hint for the benefit of those of us who have?

Hey Daniel,

Since Dimitri doesn't seem to be around why don't you go ahead with a quote? :)

Your wish is my command!

Character 1: Why aren't you shooting?
Character 2: We're not being shot at yet.
Character 1: How can you tell?
Character 2: A hiss means it's close. A snap means...
(snap)
Character 2: Now they're shooting at us.

I've seen this movie! Now if I can remember which one it is...

Until it hits me or you provide another clue I'll go with a guess: The Outlaw Josey Wales?

I'm with you, Lorinda. It's bugging me that I can't figure it out, though I know I've seen it, and I think I even know the scene, but I can't see the faces or think of which movie it is in my head.

But I think it is something else. I gotta think on it some more.

I was half-thinking Black Hawk Down.

based on the quote they obviously cant fire unless fired upon which suggests a more modern war like iraq or (as matt said) somalia so id agree with matt on that one.

Matt got it first! It is indeed Black Hawk Down - one of my favourite books, and a pretty good movie too.
