This one I posted in late December, but don't recall where it came from.




Star Trek TNG: Up the Long Ladder?

No, probably more like a Cary Grant movie.

I see now I should have tagged my quotations with a film title. I can no longer remember the source of some of them.

This one I posted in late December, but don't recall where it came from.

Or this one. I think it's Audrey Hepburn, but from where?

Is it from "People Will Talk" (1951) with Cary Grant?

Hey! I think it may have been!

Thanks.

Are we supposed to do attributions now?   :laugh:  I was leaving that off for folks to guess. (or maybe so I could sneak a fake on in every once in a while)

I used to do fake ones, too. In fact, I still could. I'd just have to come up with a movie title. I started citing sources because I went back and looked at some of my quotations and I couldn't remember where they came from.  :facepalm:

That movie actually had quite a few good quotes

But, Dad, they're not really bad, they're just... stupid.

Martian Soldier: Sir, the Arcturans have destroyed the remainder of the fleet. I sent a distress signal to all ships across the galaxy, BUT we're headed straight into their sun, and our engines are about to explode.
Enforcer Drone: I have not yet begun to fight.
Martian Soldier: Now would be a great time to start.
