I won't be around when this quiz ends, so consider me ineligible for that award. > 0. "A boy's best friend is his mother." Norman Bates in "Psycho".* > 1. "Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." "Dead Poets Society". > 2. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" Rhett Butler in "Gone with the Wind".* > 3. "Go ahead, make my day." Harry Callahan in "Sudden Impact". > 4. "I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody." Terry Molloy in "On the Waterfront".* > 5. "I see dead people." "The Sixth Sense". > 6. "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not gonna to take this anymore!" Howard Beale in "Network".* Most of the people who repeat the line after him improve the line by dropping the first "as", and some of them change "this" to "it", but you have correctly reproduced Beale's original version -- except that you need to pick one spelling, "gonna" or "going to". > 7. "To infinity... and beyond." Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story".* > 8. "Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." Phil Connors in "Groundhog Day".* > 9. "Why so serious?" Annie Wilkes in "Misery". *I have seen it, yes. -- Mark Brader "How many pessimists end up by desiring Toronto the things they fear, in order to prove msb@vex.net that they are right." -- Robert Mallet My text in this article is in the public domain. |
