Mememememe from the FL. At some point I'll work up a post about jury duty, though. It was kind of interesting, in that I almost got to serve as a juror on a first-degree murder case, and kind of not, in that I sat around listening to the lawyers repeat the same questions over and over again without ever being interviewed myself.
1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
1. A: [Name] is the reason I became a cop. I wanted to catch the guys who thought they could get away with it. It's supposed to be about justice. Then somewhere along the way, I lost sight of that. Why'd you become a cop?
B: [long pause] I don't remember.
L.A. Confidential, guessed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

2. It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun.
3. A: You hardly know him.
B: To hardly know him is to know him well.
4. Who said that time heals all wounds? It would be better to say that time heals everything except wounds. With time, the hurt of separation loses its real limits. With time, the desired body will soon disappear, and if the desiring body has already ceased to exist for the other, then what remains is a wound...disembodied. [This is, for the record, both extremely obscure and a quotation of another work.]
5. They were gonna make me a major for this, and I wasn't even in their fuckin' army anymore.
Apocalypse Now, guessed bybeechball
6. Don't be so gloomy. After all, it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
The Third Man, guessed byzandra_x
7. I could tell you that what you think of as your personality is nothing but a collection of Vanity Fair articles. I could tell you your choice of sexual partners this evening was decided months ago by some account executive at Young & Rubicam. I could tell you that given a week to study your father and the ways in which he ignores you I could come up with a schtick you'd be helpless to resist. Helpless.
Roger Dodger, guessed bylikeadeuce and beechball
8. A: I thought you said you didn't care about [name] no more.
B: I said we're through. That's not the same thing.
9. I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
Annie Hall, guessed byzandra_x
10. No more of these informal chats! If you have a disciplinary issue with me, write me up or suspend me and I'll see you at the Parent-Teacher conference.
Brick, guessed bydj_jonny_flash
11. A: [on video] You must be here to fix the cable.
B: Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
C: He fixes the cable?
B: Don't be fatuous, [name].
The Big Lebowski, guessed bydj_jonny_flash and beechball
12. Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more then ten to twenty million killed, tops. Depending on the breaks.
Dr. Strangelove, guessed byzandra_x
13. A: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
B: Yes, sir.
A: Are you listening?
B: Yes, I am.
A: Plastics.
B: Just how do you mean that, sir?
The Graduate, guessed byzandra_x
14. I don't care, bricklaying can be great, if a guy knows. If he knows what he's doing and why and if he can make it come off. When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm really goin' I feel like a... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he knows... just feels... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you know you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm. The pool cue's part of me. You know, it's uh - pool cue, it's got nerves in it. It's a piece of wood, it's got nerves in it.
The Hustler, guessed byzandra_x
15. And I'll send you a little helpful reminder. You'll notice it because it'll look very much like a subpoena.
Quiz Show, guessed bylikeaduece
Bonus (beechball, you are not allowed to play): I don't know if any of you are aware of this, but it's a federal offense to make lascivious remarks on a television network broadcast. The penalty for this disgusting, un-American behavior is one year in prison, or a ten thousand dollar fine. Or both! Anyone making a sick or subversive remark tonight will be arrested immediately. I then will personally escort the offender to federal prison for booking under edict number 364 of the Broadcasting Act of 1963. And it's a long drive to that prison, baby, just you and me. No witnesses.
