Since most of us sucked at yesterday's DE: Quote contest? Slightly-more-obvious lines from any canon you want, see if we can guess. Hints via chosen icons totes allowed.

"They mean to win Wimbledon."

"Both I and the building are still standing, and that much is right in the world."

[muji]

Monty Python something?

[muji]

"I imagine if it were fear my eyes would be wider."

[sardonicynic]

Simon Tam!

(But I am not sure if it's Firefly or Serenity. OH NOES.)

[the_gene_genie]

(Probably) an easy one:

'Last week, I accidentally slept with a prostitute.'

'Really?'

'Yes.'

'...I don't understand. Did you trip over something?'

[muji]

Not that easy! My brain is less trying to figure out who said it and more trying to figure out what fictional pairs I *want* to have said it.

My favorite is Mal and Wash thus far.

[the_gene_genie]

'What about what's-his-name?'
'What about him?'
'Why don't you give him a call?'
'What for?'
'Ask him about his house.'
'You want me to call what's-his-name and ask him about his house?'
'Why not?'
'All right. What's his number?'
'I've no idea. I've never met him.'
'Well, neither have I. What the fuck are you talking about?'

Probably harder, due to it being a British film, but it's a classic, so...

[lady_bols]

hint?

[pattersongs]

"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that "horrible person" thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep."

[genarti]

I do love GLaDOS.

From the safe distance of the otehr side of the fourth wall.

[dynastessa]

'I think I see a scenario where we both get out of here with acceptable losses.'

'What exactly is your version of acceptable?'

'Breaks and punctures, possible loss of a limb, no major organ damage.'

[muji]

Hint?

[dynastessa]

'She's smart, funny, attractive.'

'Attractive?'

'You know ... she's got nice skin.'

'Skin? You're saying [NAME]'s dating my sister because of her skin?'

'I'm saying it could be a contributing factor.'

[wakeupnew]

Ron and Harry! Half Blood Prince, maybe? I get all of the books/movies confused...

[camwyn]

"Oh, what the heck, it's usually green-"
"NO! That is red! THIS is green!!"

[muji]

Oh shit, I know this. Damn damn damn.

[sardonicynic]

"Are you cold standing out here?"

"Not really, why?"

"Because I can't keep from staring at your nipples!"

[thebattycakes]

*DYYIIING*

Art Mullen to Raylan Givens on Justified.

[sardonicynic]

"Those women will do things to you you'll never forget."

"They'll give you a disease you'll never forget."

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

That's Ben and Doc Potter, yes?

[lady_bols]

"Right. Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting. You see these goods? Never seen daylight, moonlight, Israelite. Fanny by the gaslight. Take a bag, c'mon take a bag. I took a bag home last night. Cost me a lot more than ten pound, I can tell you. Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there. Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney. It's as long as my arm. I wish it was as long as something else. Don't think because these boxes are sealed up, they're empty. The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker, and by the look of some of you lot today, I'd make more money with me measuring tape. Here, one price. Ten pound."
"Did you say ten pound?"
"Are you deaf?"
"That's a bargain. I'll take one."
"Squeeze in if you can. Left leg, right leg, your body will follow. They call it walking. You want one as well, darling? You do? That's it. They're waking up. Treat the wife. Treat somebody else's wife. It's a lot more fun if you don't get caught. Hold on. You want one as well? Okay, darling, show me a bit of life then. It's no good standing out there like one o'clock half-struck. Buy them, you better buy them. These are not stolen, they just haven't been paid for, and we can't get them again. They've changed the bloody locks. Here. One for you. It's no good coming back later when I've sold out. 'Too late, too late' will be the cry when the man with the bargains has passed you by. If you got no money on you now, you'll be crying tears as big as October cabbages."

Sorry for the wall of text; it just doesn't work with a snippet of the patter.

[campkilkare]

A: on earth class is sorted out by who can drop the most delirious flow

B: I see
So, in other words, a sort of blood letting ritual
To assess whose pulse is steadiest and thus whose flow is the most STRONG

A: no
well yeah
verbal pulse
rap battles
the kings of wordtech ascend to godhood and look down on us patriarchally like urban watermarks in the sky
this is like
our religion man
its fucking serious business its like what our whole culture revolves around

B: Really
So your social echelons are dictated by the noble artform of the ancient slam poets
Or the Earth equivalent

A: yeah well
used to be dictated
til the rapocalypse happened
i still believe though
in my heart so long as it keeps thumping the righteous beat
subwoofing out devotion every which way
that he will come
our savior
was foretold hed come after meteors show up to drop it like its hot
and hed gather up the ashes of our civilization and lift it like its heavy
fuck im tearing up my ishades are gonna fry

B: I believe
That this is probably nonsense

[kd7sov]

Homestuck, page 4725. A is Dave, B is Equius. Minus most of his quirk.

[bcgphoenix]

"Five dollars I can name at least one item on your night stand, [name]. Don't tell me. You're gonna like this. I'm never wrong, it's a gift...okay. Toni Morrison novel, something by Obama, and/or the current issue of Bon Appetit."

"I'm reading Advanced Forensic Science by Annemann. I keep it next to my gun."

[silveraspen]

I KNOW THIS ZOMG. :D :D :D

Although I cannot for the LIFE of me remember exactly the name of the [censored] that Olivia Dunham was talking to!

[kd7sov]

"I am an endless barrel of exposition! But yeah, I'm done."

[shinyhappygoth]

Ha, I had to look this one up (and therefore will not say), but I knew I recognized it.

[minkhollow]

"Half of an assassin is just an ass."

[muji]

Hint?

[minkhollow]

"What kind of advice is 'be yourself'? That's the worst advice I've ever heard because myself is a giant freakazoid with no past and no real interests outside of my top-secret job, which I can't talk about. Oh, and? I like onions!"

[shinyhappygoth]

Claudia. Boy troubles. Whee.

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

"Fuck. Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck and fuck! Fuck, fuck and bugger! Bugger, bugger, buggerty buggerty buggerty, fuck, fuck, arse! Balls, balls... fuckity, shit, shit, fuck and willy. Willy, shit and fuck and... tits."

[silveraspen]

The King's Speech! Articulation practice in more ways than one.

[minkhollow]

"'Give him head'?"

"'Be a beacon'?"

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

That would be Marty and Whistler from Sneakers! I <3 that scene. :)

[minkhollow]

(I am paraphrasing here, but it should be enough that the idea gets across.)

"They took me over to [name]'s, where they said they want to have sex with older women! Because - and I quote - they really know what they're doing."

[slutbamwalla.livejournal.com]

Roxanne. One of my favorite films. XD

"You can't have people as their houses are burning down saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

[gorgonfondness]

"Say something stupid, [NAME]. Give me a reason to beat you senseless, you mentally-castrated nincompoop."

"... ... ..."

"That's better!"

[shinyhappygoth]

Based on my current gameplay, I presume the speaker of ellipses is either Alex or whoever is the lead in Lunar 2.

[sardonicynic]

"Blah, blah, biddy, blah; I'm so stuffy, get me a scone."

[muji]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I KNOW THIS BUT I AM BLANKING SO HARD

WHYYYY

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

"Is there a ghostbuster in the house?! You don't need a degree in both Psychology and Paranormal Psychology, just the latter will do."

"You know, I've never seen that movie."

"You've never seen Ghostbusters?!"

"I've been busy."

"I can't even talk ta you right now, that is so upsetting."

"Dude, I've been busy! You know, with stuff like this."

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

And a runner up:
"Say 'Hail HYDRA' one more time!"

And I don't have an icon to give a hint.

[rustedtoaster.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever been to war, human?"

"Me? No. Of course not. That war's over."

"Then be quiet, fool. Those who have been to war understand. Those who have not have no opinion worth hearing. Even those who return from war may never really come home."

[kd7sov]

Oh, that's... The Andalite Chronicles? One of the Animorphs books, I'm pretty sure, and I think the speakers are Alloran and Chapman.

[mamba-with-me.livejournal.com]

"It's time for Hawkgirl to KICK SOME ASS!" (I couldn't resist because she never, ever says things like that and boy was she pissed).

"Most of all I recognize you, my once and future love."

[thebattycakes]

"Are you gonna fight everyone, [name]? I just wanna know if I'm next."

"Nah, you'd go ninja on me --I can't take that kinda hurt."

[mamba-with-me.livejournal.com]

Kitty Pryde and Wolverine!
