I started the Quotes without Context thread in the Mission Monitor board and while posting to it, I thought it could also be a great game.
The way it works. The first poster posts a quote. It should be from a famous person or a popular movie/TV/comic book/etc. (nothing obscure) The next poster to correctly guess the source gets to post the next quote.
Starting with the quote I posted today:
"As a small child in England, I had this dream of going to Africa. We didn't have any money and I was a girl, so everyone except my mother laughed at it. When I left school, there was no money for me to go to university, so I went to secretarial college and got a job."
No takers? Hint: this is a quote from a person (as opposed to a movie, tv show, etc.)
Good guess, but wrong. Africa is a major clue. Also this woman is still (as of this post) among the living.
Yes, the quote is from Ms. Jane Goodall.
Feel free to carry on or to let this game die.
I was going to let it go, but I guess we can try it again:
"That's the same character analysis you got from your last Chinese fortune cookie!"
Woody Allen? (If you even remember after two years, Rocky
)
I remember and that's not it. Think animation.
Older than any of those. Kent has the right gender for the character.
To repeat the quote I gave, it's:
"That's the same character analysis you got from your last Chinese fortune cookie!"
This should help: The character who spoke that sentence preceded it with "Why, Fred, it's you!"
Abin has it. Sorry for the delay in responding. It was spoken by Wilma to Fred.
You can post another, Abin, or let this game go.
Revivarating!
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
No, it wasn't
[Sorry for the delay!]
It was not the Doctor [Either as in the lead character of Dr. Who or otherwise].
I suggest you play this in a similar way to the "thinking of an animal"/"where am I?"/etc threads and narrow it down before going for a guess
Was it a male that spoke the line?
An agent of something, yes.
Agent K. Men in Black. (Saw it on my Honeymoon, so I have it pretty much memorized.
If you have it so memorised, why even bother narrowing it down?
Your go.
Extra posts...why else. l)
New one later today...
"They're still working on him. He won't break. We've tried everything! Do you want me to bring out the Leroy Nieman paintings?"
Is this qoute from a movie released since 2000?
Is the quote from a movie released between 1990 and 1999 (inclusive)?
Is the quote from a movie released between 1980 and 1989 (inclusive)?
Recap so far:
"They're still working on him. He won't break. We've tried everything! Do you want me to bring out the Leroy Nieman paintings?"
It's from a comedy movie released between 1980 and 1989 (inclusive), and a male spoke the line.
Was it released between 1985 and 1989 (inclusive)?
Nope
Recap so far:
"They're still working on him. He won't break. We've tried everything! Do you want me to bring out the Leroy Nieman paintings?"
It's from a comedy movie released between 1980 and 1984 (inclusive), and a male spoke the line.
Was it released in 1983-1984?
Yep. Way to go. A fun movie that is one of Val's best performances...along with Real Genius and Tombstone.
"I refuse to testify on the grounds that my organs will be chopped up into a patty."
"Ah, the 67th Amendment."
Okay, since you're the only one guessing, I'll skip several yes/no questions and just tell you it's from a TV show
That was easy.
Is it from a show that is still airing?
Cartoon.
And to recap for a new page:
"I refuse to testify on the grounds that my organs will be chopped up into a patty."
"Ah, the 67th Amendment."
From an animated TV show that is still making new episodes.
The episode in which the quote appeared was on Fox.
Is the show no longer running on Fox?
Yeah, but I'm looking for the character
[At least for the first line, spoken by a regular character]
Well now that I know it is Futurama, that sounds like a Fry thing to say
I'd say the old Doctor guy...don't remember his name right now. I'd have to google it.
Yeah, it was Philip J. Fry and Judge Whitey in "Insane in the Mainframe". dedman has it.
"We have such sights to show you"
Released before or after the 1st of January 2000?
Released before or after the 1st of January 1990?
Same question re: 1980
After.
To save a lot of questions narrowing it down, 1987
