Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.

If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

There is no theme this week, and you can thank [livejournal.com profile] born_to_me for that

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these). Oh, and don't guess as a reply to someone else's guess, on a busy day that makes it hard for me to spot your answer.

4. It made sense to pool our collective loathing for the opposite sex, and while we were at it, you get to share a bed with somebody at the same time. [livejournal.com profile] fredhuggins says this is from Hi Fidelity and ya know, that's right!
5. I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy. I know high school girls. [livejournal.com profile] mairzydotes says this is from Better Off Dead and ya know, that's right!
6. Do sit down, Sergeant. Shocks are so much better absorbed with the knees bent. [livejournal.com profile] jrittenhouse says this is from The Wicker Man and ya know, that's right!
7. We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline. [livejournal.com profile] exapno says this is from The Blues Brothers and ya know, that's right!
8. Well, sometimes the magic works. Sometimes, it doesn't. [livejournal.com profile] tcgtrf says this is from Little Big Man and ya know, that's right!

#10 is Frank Morgan as the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz. One of my all-time favorite lines, actually, with the follow-up: "I was petrified."

It's killing me that I didn't get this. I could hear the character saying it and just couldn't place it.

Sorry, Eric. Won't happen again--sometimes I don't read things closely enough.

I did NOT get this at Goodwill. I'll have you know it's an expensive custom job. Platinum and diamonds, baby.

I have it all tricked out. It even has a dimmer switch...

Well, mercy. What's the use of the dimmer switch if I don't use it??
