You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

Oh good one. Sounds familiar. Not sure what this is from but it sounds like something John Wayne or Clint Eastwood would have said in one of their westerns.

I would have known this one even if I wasn't watching it, right now, on TCM. Swear. Right now. The G, the B and the U. Right now they're each just about to discover one half of the secret about where the gold is buried.

The GBU. No wonder that sounded familiar. I have not seen that movie in at least 5 years.

I haven't watched it start to finish in almost 20 years (bought it and watched it when the DVD first came out circa 97) but it's one of those movies that I settle on when channel flipping. It's always fun to watch a few scenes when you're in between whatever.

Okay. Next movie, next quote. From one of my all time favorite flicks:

"Hey guys, there's a red thingy moving toward the green thingy"

Yeah but it's just like brain surgery. The only way you get better is to just start cutting people open. Snip this, reroute that. In a little while you'll being doing delicate home surgery and impressing all your friends, the ones that survive anyway.

I would take a wild guess but my wife and I are on the way out the door. We have to buy some shower curtain rings.

"as soon as you get that trunk upstairs and have finished your nap I guess you could fix that step and jump down, turn around and pick a bale of cotton. And while I'm gone see to it Miss Scarlet stays away from the Union army will you?"

I have no idea. But not for nothing, I will say if John Cleese or Chevy Chase said it in a movie, I've heard it.

I was patient for awhile but I suspect this isn't one most posters here will know. Besides being a Chevy Chase fan I'm also a huge fan of Gregory McDonald, the author of the Fletch series of books. And the Flynn series of books, a spinoff that I think is even better than Fletch. Anyway, the line is from Fletch Lives.

Next easy quote: "Then we're awake but we're very puzzled."

I'm in the same boat except I had no expectations because I never remember quotes from movies. For a while I knew a quote from... jeez, now I've forgotten the movie, too. Clark Gable was the actor who said it. I'll bet you guys will be to guess the movie and the quote with that hint information...

Sure, I had it right away. You're talking about this conversation from an early Frank Capra classic:

Gable: Why didn't you take off all your clothes? You could have stopped 40 cars.
Claudette Colbert: Well, uh, I'll remember that when I need 40 cars.

And if that's not the one you're looking for, frankly I don't give a ...:cool:

I didn't see where anyone answered this one... did I miss it??

Anyway, it's Blonde telling Tuco to dig in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Yeah, I answered it earlier as I was actually watching it at the time on TCM. BLONDIE!!! I love that cemetery scene. I always got a kick out of Kelly's Heroes when they have a similar cobblestone standoff involving tanks instead of gunfighters. And they play a snippet of the GB&U music while the tension builds.
