For he had no new worlds to conquer.’ Benefits of a classical education.” 4) “You’re not very bright. I like that in a man.” 5) “Mr. President, we cannot allow a mine-shaft gap.” 6) “It wasn’t my fault, they said they fixed it.” 7) 1) “What is that device you are wearing?” 2) “I have been appointed the Prosecutor for Wales.” 1) “I can understand for all the world, but Wales?” 8) “Sandee your breasts feel weird.” “That’s because they’re real.” 9) “I would like to have seen Montana.” 10) “Is it twoo, what they say? That your people are….gifted?” <pause> “It’s twoo, it’s twoo.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Holy Sh1t Patrick! Where do you get this stuff? The only one I can pick up now, without reviewing any DVD's is Número Nueve (No. 9). From "The Hunt For Red October" as officer (don't remember his rank) Borodin portrayed by Sam Neil is dying from a gunshot wound from the cook/spook, he tells that line to Capt. Raimius (Sean Connery). +1 for Nemo!! WOOOHOOO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I must admit that part of my motivation for this is that I apparently suck at movie trivia, but I was just wondering if it might be time to mix up the "win-a-book" format a little. It seems like the movie trivia thing is getting a little old and it's not really encouraging/promoting what we're all here for anyway, the shooting sports. I'd personally like to see contests more along the lines of: Who has the best tip on getting new shooters to the range... The most helpful single post/tip of the month... The club/section with the best website... The most helpful USPSA/IDPA staff member of the month... etc. Maybe do three weeks of nominations and then a week of voting through a poll. I don't know, maybe what I'm thinking of needs to be it's own creature like a BE.com shooter of the month award and we leave the win a book alone. Anyway, those are just my two cents. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 OK Paul, you need to read the rules. We have a short time-out while BritinUSA scrambles to find the appropriate backups to his answers. I clearly said, movie and character or actor. You have until a posting time of High Noon (not one of the movies, by the way) to get the supporting answers. After twelve o'clock high (not one of the movies) your answers can be used by others, first-come first served AFTER NOON. I hate to be a trivia nazi, but we've gotta have some order here. Nemo and R112mercer have the stage procedure down correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folsoml Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 1) Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iweiny Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 6) “It wasn’t my fault, they said they fixed it.” Empire Strikes back. Han Solo (Harrison Ford) Aboard the Milenum Falcon... I love that line. And it's companion "It's not my fault". No one gets it when I say that around work... Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galt11 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) #5 is from Dr. Strangelove and is spoken by George C Scott. #9 is from Red October and is said by Sam Neill. #3 is from Die Hard said by Alan Rickman. I love we are getting into movies I know well. Edited November 4, 2005 by galt11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folsoml Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 #3 is from Die Hard said by Alan Rickman. Dang it!! This one was on the tip of my brain, but I couldn't place it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Wow, it is only November 4, and we already have eight correct answers. The score stands as follows: BritinUSA, 2 Galt11, 2 FolsomL, Jake DiVita, Nemo and R112Mercer one each. I may have to post a brain-curdling tie-breaker, but there are still two left unanswered.

galt11 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Patrick, Can you tell us which were answered correct so we know what is still up for grabs? Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Remember, if you’ve won a book, you aren’t eligible for a (help me Duane, how long?) try. Thus far the answer has always been "forever." One book per, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Gary, Had you been sooner you'd have crushed the competition, but your answers were answered earlier, with one wrong. The only two left are #4 and #7. I'm mulling over a tie-breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 4) You’re not very bright. I like that in a man Body Heat, Kathleen Turner, William Hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Correct! You move up to three. I may not need that tiebreaker, depending on just how many movies you've seen in the last 40+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Quick additional trivia question... What line from Quote #10 was removed by censors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Well, as there are fewer than two hours left to the end of the month, I declare our very own Britinusa the winner. Wooo-ho! You guys crushed the questions this month, with the exception of one. I'll have to be harder on you in December. The unanswered one comes from "A Man for All Seasons." Sir Thomas More has refused to agree that the King, Henry VIII, has the authority to declare himself head of the church. He refuses to say why. For that he has been tossed in the Tower, and then put on trial. Since Sir Thomas has refused to say why, and has confided in no one, the king has to bribe a witness into testifying as to Sir Thomas' reason. The bribe is to be appointed to the post of Prosecutor of Wales. Sir Thomas' reply makes reference to the quote from the bible, "what profiteth a man to sell his soul for all the world?" The movie is brilliant, thoughtful and almost enough to restore one's faith in lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
