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.


-Jon

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?

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?

Your turn once again, Paul! Heh.

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."

-Jon

Oh, so close! But wrong. ;)

I hope that didn't ruffle your feathers.

Getting cooler.

Chicken Run!

You got it! I thought the hints would have given it away!

OK, here's my first try at this..

PRESIDENT - You don't think I should take the chance, huh?

RAND - Absolutely not.

PRESIDENT - Do you agree with Ben, Mr. XXXX? Or do you think we cna stimulate growth through temporary incentives?

MR. XXXX - As long as teh roots are not severed, all is well and all will be well in the garden.

PRESIDENT - In the garden?

MR. XXXX - That is correct. In a garden, growth has its seasons. There is spring and summer, but there is also fall and winter. And then spring and summer again.

PRESIDENT - ...Spring and summer... Yes, I see...Fall and winter. Yes, indeed.

RAND - I think what my most insightful friend is building up to Mr. President, is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, yet we are upset by the seasons of our economy.

MR. XXXX - Yes. That is correct. There will be growth in the spring.


Hope that's not too much to make it too easy.

Garrett

I love this movie.


It is "Being There" starring Peter Sellers.

(I even remember the stock number of the VHS copy of it in the video store I worked at in the 80's - it was stock # 1089, but only I would know that - it won't get me any extra points.

-Jon

Wow Jonathan, you got it. I should have picked a more obscure scene.

Next time.

Garrett

OKay, here's the next one - it'll probably be pretty easy:


"Father, forgive me. I am a worm. (laughs) I have something to say! It's better to burn out than fade away!"




-Jon

This has to be Highlander!

It is indeed Highlander. It is spoken by Clancy Brown during the memorable church scene towards the end. (although I evidently omitted a 'to' in the quote - sorry.)


Your turn.

-Jon

Don't lose your turn by delaying too long, Boudewijn!

Time's up. I'm taking back the conch and posting a new quote:


person 1: "I have absolute power. Say it. Say it!"

person 2: "What have you got? Is it the coyote?"

person 1: "No. Look.....Okay, now, swear it. The most excellent promise you can make. Swear, as my only brother, on our lives!"

person 2: "Don't get so heavy, I swear."



-Jon

I didn't even have to phone home for this one . . .

ET

Yep. Your turn.

-Jon

This may or may not be a hard one:

Character 1: I warn you, madam - I know the entire Geneva Convention by heart!

Character 2: Oh, how nice! You must recite it for me some evening; I play the harpsichord.

Another great Peter Sellers' movie.

The Mouse that Roared

Garrett

You got it, Garrett. Your turn. :)

Two separate one liners from the same character:

"No Bullets? Ah, but if all of you in the audience who believe in fairies will clap your hands, then my gun will be magically filled with bullets."

and

"Meet me in the bedroom in five minutes and bring a cattle prod."

Garrett

No guesses yet? Need a hint or just no one playing yet?

Garrett

Is it "The Prestige"?

-Jon

Nope. It started life as an action movie and ended up being a comedy.

Another hint in a few hours if no one gets is.

Garrett

OK, 1960's movie involving the Japanese and American movie industry.

Garrett

What's Up Tiger Lily.

You got it Paul. Your turn.

Garrett

Okay, let's see . . .

The movie isn't that obscure, but the dialogue may be:

Character 1: What do you know about women?
Character 2: I got seven wives, how many you got?
Character 1: Why aren't you home with your seven wives?
Character 2: I know how to marry them. Nobody knows how to live with them.

I think I know. Does it involve a Coke Bottle?

Garrett

It does indeed.
