You are correct. Give the man a cookie! You'll also find that line in many other Stanley Kubrick films.

from the same movie: "An' when they was no meat, we ate fowl. An' when they was no fowl, we ate crawdad. An' when they was no crawdad to be foun', we ate sand."

Trying to move this along, I have to crash.
Brother 1:"Y'understand, H.I., if this works out it's just the beginning of spree across the entire Southwest proper. We keep goin' till we can retire, or we get caught."
Brother 2:"Either way, we're fixed for life."

Nope. But similar brand of absurdist humor. It's "Raisng Arizona," the first big feature from the Coen brothers, staring Nick Cage, Holly Hunter, and John Goodman. One of my favorite comedies!

i'm still here, rivka. i'm only on when i'm at work, and i'm only at work overnight. i thought about continuing the game by myself, but i decided it would be hard to come up with quotes i couldn't place. talking to myself is much better. actually, i just figured i'd spout a little and see if you're still with me.

It's a messed-up quote from Isaac Azimov's Nightfall.
quote:It was Yimot who answered. 'We shut ourselves in and allowed our eyes to get accustomed to the dark. It's an extremely creepy feeling because the total Darkness makes you feel as if the walls and ceiling are crushing in on you. But we got over that and pulled the switch. The caps fell away and the roof glittered all over with little dots of light -- ' 'Well?' 'Well -- nothing. That was the whacky part of it. Nothing happened. It was just a roof with holes in it, and that's just what it looked like. We tried it over and over again -- that's what kept us so late -- but there just isn't any effect at all.'

that was one of the first threads I ever got hooked into. it drove me nuts for days & I had to just give up on it. I feel like this was a big setup just to put that one back out there. it's not right!!! for the love of pete please have an answer this time, I couldn't take it again. but it did make me laugh at least.
*waves big "sucker" sign around*

Frisco, were you the one to resurrect this the last time to reinflict torment?
Note to anyone who wants to start any similar games in the future: Be very specific in the game instructions that the person offering a quote must know its source.
(Please don't overinterpret my grumblies - I was in on the original quest for the quote and have managed to deal with failure and let go on at least three separate occasions now. I appreciate the pain-rooted humor in bringing it back. It does, however, kinda bring things to a halt, as we know from sad and frustrated experience.)

We are going to have to get that put into the Ender's Game script so it will be out of our hair!

Wait a second, this thread has rules on the front page. So we don't have to do that quote unless you can provide 3 clues, Frisco!
