I can't ride herd on the topic until Monday morning Oct 3rd, so you'll just have to contain yourselves until then. Come 9AM Michigan time I let loose the floodgates.

[John Dunn]

I'm going to guess, "The Trouble with Tribbles" from the original Star Trek series.

And the question is "What inspired Patrick to grow his beard so long?"

[supercomp9]

to help off set the ongoing hair loss on the head.

where one lose's in one spot you gain in another ..

[Patrick Sweeney]

Just for that, you guys start the stage with a procedural, before the timer beeps.

October Win A Book

OK, all the usual rules. You can’t use an internet search for quotes, nor go to a web page devoted to same. You must name the source (movie or TV show) and the character or actor. Ties (if need be) will be broken by naming source, character and the actor involved, plus who they are talking to.

I’ve culled these from a few movies I’ve watched through the years, plus a couple of television shows that have had a few viewers.

Let the games begin.

1) “What’s a man supposed to do with hands like these?’

2) “I take great comfort in the randomness of the universe.”

3) Q: “Do you know what you’re doing?”

A: “I’ve got all my fingers, and don’t talk in a high voice. Leave me alone.”

4) “It’s good to be the King.”

5) “Top of the world, Ma, top of the world!”

6) Whaddaya think I yam, dumb or somthin’?

7) “Have you got a valediction, boyo?”

(For an extra point on #7, give the next line.)

8) He: “Ooh, would we call her chubby?”

She: “I think there’s a pretty sizeable arse there, yes, sir. Huge thighs.”

9) “Well I don’t want Fop, goddamn it. I’m a Dapper Dan man.”

10) “And another thing; if you’re gonna drink on the job, drink scotch or bourbon. Not vodka or gin. I want the Captain to know you’re drinking, and not think you’re stupid.”

11) “If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back.”

And last, we have the ultimate tiebreaker. Do not answer this one on the forum. If you know the answer, send your attempt to the following e-mail: sweeneypatrickj@comcast.net I will be heartless on this one. Answer the question on the forum instead of via e-mail and you get a Stage Zero penalty. Your score on the quiz will be marked at zero, even if you got all correct.

Don’t screw this up.

Bonus question:

He: “I would kill, or die, to make love to you.

She: “I know.”

[warpspeed]

# 4 - Histroy of the World - Part 1 - Mel Brooks

[Patrick Sweeney]

"A hit, a palpable hit" for Warpspeed. (And that quote is the secondary tiebreaker.)

[ChuckS]

#5 White Heat. Jimmy Cagney. (I forget the characters name )

[ima45dv8]

5) “Top of the world, Ma, top of the world!”

7) “Have you got a valediction, boyo?”

(For an extra point on #7, give the next line.)

9) “Well I don’t want Fop, goddamn it. I’m a Dapper Dan man.”

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

#5 James Cagney - "Public Enemy"

#7 James Cromwell - "L.A. Confidential" (the crooked police Captian).

Kevin Spacey's character replies, "Rollo Tomosie" (sp?)

#5 "White Heat" James Cagney

#9 "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" George Clooney

[diehli]

8) He: “Ooh, would we call her chubby?”

She:  “I think there’s a pretty sizeable arse there, yes, sir. Huge thighs.”

Love Actually, Hugh Grant and Nina Sosanya

9) “Well I don’t want Fop, goddamn it. I’m a Dapper Dan man.”

O Brother, Where Art Thou?, George Clooney

11) “If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back.”

Firefly, Nathan Fillion

ETA: the second character in the Love Actually quote.

1) “What’s a man supposed to do with hands like these?’

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm taking a chance on this one, and hoping you meant, "...with hands like that."

If so, Dude (Dean Martin) to John Chance (John Wayne) in "Rio Bravo".

Otherwise, I'd guess wlktheduk has it.

[Patrick Sweeney]

I definitely should have gone with the obscure european imports for this contest. You guys spend entirely too much time in front of the TV. The score so far:

ima45dv8 has three answers and the bonus reply

300lbgorilla has 2, warpspeed and ChuckS have one each.

next month, you guys will have to have read the subtitles on foreign language films. Or chick-flicks.

[ima45dv8]

Patrick,

Did wlktheduk and I both miss #1?

**Never mind. I just figured it out (it was one of my 3 correct answers).

[Duane Thomas]

6) Whaddaya think I yam, dumb or somthin’?

That's got to be Robin Williams in Popeye. Never saw the film, but I recognize the speech pattern, being as I am a major E.C. Segar fan.

[Patrick Sweeney]

Duane,

Wrong. Wrong era, genre, wrong everything. When you know, you'll smack yourself in the forehead.

(I know I'm not supposed to coach, but can't I have fun, too? )

[BSmith]

Rocky Balboa in Rocky 1 (played by Sylvester Stalone) Best regards, BrianSmith

[Patrick Sweeney]

Sorry, #1's been gotten. What we have left are:

#2,3,6,10, the secret bonus, and the "palpable hit" quote.

We have ima45dv8 in the lead with 3 + 1, ChuckS and warpspeed with 1 each. 300lbgorilla, having already won a book, is out of contention and has privately expressed contrition for answering some that you could have used to add to your scores.

[napier2]

Bonus Q's

Anthony Edwards in "Gotcha" with the German chick Sasha!! OOOO sasha she was hot and he had hair!!

Long time ago but yea I still remember the words--- I would kill or die to make love to you ! and she almost got him killed good flick.

Sasha.....

[Patrick Sweeney]

napier2, match DQ. Unload, show clear, holster. Sign your scoresheet and have a seat. The stage description clearly required contestants to send the answer off-forum.

The scores remain unchanged.

[tightloop]

Too tough for me...but I like to watch you guys try to get them....

[Patrick Sweeney]

After a brief flurry, no action? Do I have to start handing out clues? Do you really want that under your avatar? ("Had to ask for clues.")

[Stumpnav]

#9. Watch your mouth young man, this is a public forum...I can get you the answer...be here in about two weeks.

Ain't this forum a technological anamoly...two weeks from everywhere!

[Patrick Sweeney]

Stumpnav, You are correct on the movie, but there are problems with your stage procedure. You must name the actor/character, and the movie. Plus, 300lb'r got there first.
