BriarRose Kildare Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Alright I will give you all one more hint: The quote was said by a professor in the movie. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriarRose Kildare Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The Bishop's Wife?(If not, I give.) Mission, dear, you are correct. Your turn.

Misson Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm? Honest and truly? (All praise Maitland McDonagh without whom I never would have gotten this one.) Hmm. I can either post a really hard one or a 3D quote. We just had a really hard one, so I'll go with the 3D quote. It's something that's been popping into and out of my mind lately anyhow: http://www.markck.com/Sounds/botherme.mp3 "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misson Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Well, I was talking about Foghorn Leghorn in another post. That quote would be, "Go away boy (or son), ya' bother me." However, it is not a movie quote. If we were to be able to quote cartoons, I would have much to say and you would all have to kill me because I am a genius when it comes to cartoon quotes. Well, old WB cartoon quotes. And Tom & Jerry cartoon quotes*. "Eh, what's up, doc?" "Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Wile E. Coyote, Genius. I am not selling anything, nor am I working my way through college..." "I.." "...and so, let's get down to cases: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are and I'm a genius! While you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten. So, I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers." "I'm sorry mac. The lady of the house ain't home and besides, we mailed you people a check last week." "Why do they always want to do it the hard way?" [To Hare is Human, 1956] "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is mud." (Coyote falls over.) "And remember: mud spelled backwards is dumb!" [Operation: Rabbit, 1952] *Note: This is a sorry attempt at humor indeed, as there are almost no spoken lines in T&J cartoons. Except for Spike/Butch the Dog, Tuffy** mouse, Tom's owner, that annoying little duck that Jerry should just let Tom have and the Narrator (on occasion). (If I missed any, I apologize.) **Also called Nibbles.

Graydog Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Well, I was talking about Foghorn Leghorn in another post. That quote would be, "Go away boy (or son), ya' bother me." However, it is not a movie quote. Foghorn Leghorn does say that a lot. However, as I recall quote orginates with W.C. Fields, but I don't know if its origin is in vaudville or the movies. I can't find it in a quick check of movies or on line, but my fading memory has him saying it as a throw away line in some movie, which doesn't count for quoting the movie! Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!

I can't find it in a quick check of movies or on line, but my fading memory has him saying it as a throw away line in some movie, which doesn't count for quoting the movie! Quite right. However, never having seen a W.C. Fields movie, it can't be that. This movie came out about a half century after Fields died.

Graydog Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 You are correct. That isn't W.C. Fields on the MP3. I failed to see you were talking about that. In the words of another famous American- "Nevermind". Why am I sharing my opinion?

Misson Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Gee, I didn't think this was a hard quote. I have actually given you two hints (although one of them is so absurdly subtle it is easily missed.) How about another quote from the same movie (and the same character): http://www.markck.com/Sounds/Missme.mp3 "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Is it "The Mask" with Jim Carrey? That's the first movie I could think of where there are plenty of "Warner Bro." cartoon style lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yep Michael, you're right. It's chalk full of WB one liners (my favorite of Carey's comedic shtick). Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misson Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Absolutely correct. A personal favorite of mine. It borrows heavily from Tex Avery cartoons (Tex having worked at just about every major studio during the golden age of cartoons.) It's also full of great cartoon quotes and particularly gags, as Cpt. Sophia mentioned. It's funny how many people (me among them at times) think that quotes like the first one came from the cartoons. Actually, the cartoons borrowed them from radio shows. This makes sense when you realize that many of the voice actors and directors came from there. (For those of you who liked the movie, read the graphic novel, if only for comparison. It's shocking how much more violent and cynical it is than the movie. This was originally supposed to be a horror movie! Fortunately, the director added the cartoon element. I confess, I like this movie better.)

michaelsbagley Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Alright here it goes.... "You don't like Beethoven. You don't know what you're missing. Overtures like that get my.. juices flowing. So powerful. But after his openings, to be honest, he does tend to get a little &%$@ing boring. That's why I stopped!"

Blackbead Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 That's from "High Fidelity" isn't it? I just rented "The Contract" last night, mainly because it has two of my favorite actors in it. I saw "1408" mainly because I had liked the novella so much but Cusack's performance was excellent as well.

Misson Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yep, I think that's right. (High Fidelity is a cool movie.)

Red-Handed Jill Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 You got it! One of the cases where the movie is better than the book - John Cusack did a great job with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 In that same vein . . . this is a short one, but if you've ever heard the line delivered, you'll never forget it: "And we who walk here, walk alone." Or have I used that one already . . . Blackbead "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
