quote:Originally posted by Mucus: 3? From Hero? Out of sheer curiosity, what part do you think that would have fit into?
Biggest reason was that it's the type of thing the main character would have said, that is, to insult someone and then say, "no offense". Also it seems to me that the quote was said in a bar, and I thought there were a couple bar scenes in that movie. Of course, this is the 1992 movie, there may be others.
This one is drivin' me nuts. I'm positive that I own the movie that this quote is in, my memory is just a little fuzzy.

Right, right. I was on all day, I just didn't see the thread. Looks like there's just three to go. Let's tally up the scores. Apart from the Hero controversy, all the others have been right.

quote:"No, I don't think he likes you at all. No, I don't like you either."
Yeah, yeah trivial, but still.
I think the uncorrected is a combination of that and the Cantina scene with Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan (names are close but whatever) where he say "He doesn't like you...I don't like you either!"

I guess there is a precedent of giving clues so we can close the books on this one. # 10 is from a love story set mostly in New York- though I guess that particular line was uttered on the west coast. P.S. not Sleepless in Seattle
1) Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast. - It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. - Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money. - You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley. On the Waterfront
2) Do you think Death could possibly be a boat? - No, no, no... Death is "not." Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not be on a boat. - I've frequently not been on boats. - No, no... What you've been is not on boats. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
3) You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it. Edward Scissorhands
4) You don't care. - We don't care? We do care! - No you don't. - That is just not true! Every person in this town bends over backward to make Bianca feel at home. Why do you think she has so many places to go and so much to do? Huh? Huh? Because of you! Because - all these people - love you! We push her wheelchair. We drive her to work. We drive her home. We wash her. We dress her. We get her up, and put her to bed. We carry her. And she is not petite. Bianca is a big, big girl! None of this is easy - for any of us - but we do it... Oh! We do it for you! So don't you dare tell me how we don't care. Lars and the Real Girl
5) Not well? What is illness to the body of a knight-errant? What matter wounds? For each time he falls, he shall rise again, and woe to the wicked. The Man of La Mancha
6) *Math* is the great equalizer... When you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems; ergo, neither do I. You're going to work harder here than you've ever worked anywhere else. And the only thing I ask from you is *ganas.* *Desire.* Stand and Deliver
7) I'll tell you one thing, Fred, darling... I'd marry you for your money in a minute. Would you marry me for my money? - In a minute. - I guess it's pretty lucky neither of us is rich, huh? - Yeah. Breakfast at Tiffany's
8) So he showed up not dead yet. Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the big dog, because the big dog is always right. The Fugitive
9) I'm shakin' the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I'm comin' back here to go to college and see what they know. And then I'm gonna build things. I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high, I'm gonna build bridges a mile long... It's a Wonderful Life
10) [I]s that what you think of when you think of me? Do I remind you of that night? - Not at all. You remind me of everything that followed. Everyday since then has been a gift The Namesake
11) Mister Hart, here is a dime. Take it, call your mother, and tell her there is serious doubt about you ever becoming a lawyer. The Paper Chase
12) Do you think mighty Mouse could beat up Superman? - What are you, cracked? - Why not? I saw the other day, he was carrying five elephants in one hand! - Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a real guy. There's no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy. - Yeah, maybe you're right. It'd be a good fight, though. Stand by Me
13) Mind-bottling, isn't it? - Did you just say mind-bottling? - Yeah, mind-bottling. You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle? Blades of Glory
14) You're a scammer and you're a manipulator. You think that I don't know you? You are dead wrong. The only thing that has ever come out of your mouth is lies. Six years old... the paint... the paint all over your hands. All over our couch? 'I didn't do it.' 16 years old with the beer cans in my car. 'I didn't do it.' Let me hear you say it again, Alice. Come on! Let me hear you say it in here, huh? Come on, one for old times' sake! - [screaming] I didn't do it! Brokedown Palace
15) You're some piece of work... You're also a natural character. - [to Carmen] You see? I been tellin' her that. I got natural character. - That's not what I said, kid. I said you *are* a natural character; you're an incredible flake. But that's a *gift*. Some guys spend half their lives trying to invent something like that. You walk into a pool room with that go-go-go, the guys'll be *killing* each other, trying to get to you. You got that... But I'll tell you something, kiddo. You couldn't find Big Time if you had a road map. The Color of Money
16) Do you know why I hired you? I always hire the same girl- stylish, slender, of course... worships the magazine. But so often, they turn out to be- I don't know- disappointing and, um... stupid. So you, with that impressive résumé and the big speech about your so-called work ethic- I, um- I thought you would be different. I said to myself, go ahead. Take a chance. Hire the smart, fat girl. I had hope. Anyway, you ended up disappointing me more than, um- more than any of the other silly girls. The Devil Wears Prada
17) Oh my, this is a twist in our story! It's the brave little princess coming to the rescue. I guess this makes you the damsel in distress, huh, handsome? Enchanted
18) Sweet. Ginger. Brown The Flamingo Kid
19) This is my house, I have to defend it. Home Alone
20) Look at those palm trees. Damn! You know what that means? - Yeah. Watch out for falling coconuts. The Karate Kid

10. Finally realized why this quote was so familiar, I read the book *and* saw the movie. The Namesake. Admittedly, he's not as awesome without Neil Patrick Harris.
