movie quotes

[topaz]

This meme was going around a while ago.  Someone said that it has to be 17 movies.  Why 17?  I don't know.  You get 13.  Cope.

Some of these ought to be pretty easy.  I expect at least a couple of them to be hard, though.  I didn't pick them to be hard, just to be quotes I liked.

1. You never fuck me!  And I always have to drive!" -- Drugstore Cowboy (qnetter)
   
2. "Why aren't you popular with the Chicago Police Department, Jack?" -- Midnight Run (harimad)
3. "You really are an untidy boy." -- Time Bandits (stephe)
4. "No, I didn't say you have character.  I said you are a natural character.  You're an incredible flake."
5. "That is one nutty hospital." -- Tootsie (qnetter, weegoddess)
6. "I should probably tell you that the reason I'm taking the bus today is that my driver's license was revoked." -- Speed (badlittlemonkey)
7. "We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip out again!  Come on, it's like going into Wisconsin!" -- Stripes (crouchback)
8. "All those people killed.  And for what?  For a little bit of money.  But there's more to life than a little money, you know?  Don't you know that? And here you are.  And it's a beautiful day." -- Fargo (badlittlemonkey)
9. "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us." -- Magnolia (creidylad)
10. "Because you're on television, dummy." -- Network (harimad)
11. "I was flying, I ---- of course I was flying." -- The Little Mermaid (badlittlemonkey)
12. "You'd make a great poker player, kid." -- The Sweet Hereafter (qnetter)
13. "That's funny, I don't... feel drunk...." -- Memento (redjo)

What sort of queer ex-film student would I be if I didn't know #1 was Drugstore Cowboy?

#5: Tootsie...

Was #12 in the book too? It sure sounds very Russell Banks... It's The Sweet Hereafter, right?

Wow, those are hard. And in addition to all the other things we gotta do when next we see each other, there are lots of movies. :) What a great list.

Bully on you for getting all three of them. :-)

Yes, #12 was in the book too. I was actually kind of unhappy about the way that scene was staged, but it was a magnificent line.

Lots of movies! LOTS of movies!
