Don't Quote Me on This...

Okay, fine, I'll play...

There is a new meme going around the Scribosphere, and since I am way behind on my blog reading, I didn't even know that David tagged me for this. And who knows, maybe others did as well.

I'm not going to repeat the "instructions," since most of you have seen this already. I'll just list my 15 movie quotes in no particular order, and you all can take your guesses. Some of these are very easy and obvious, but they are among my favorite movie quotes, so I included anyway. I assume a few of them will be more difficult. I also aimed for a few different kinds of films, and different eras.

Update: I'm adding some hints for the remaining few. Some will probably "give them away," but so be it!

Guess, away!

1. "And that was only one of the many occasions on which I met my death, an experience which I don't hesitate strongly to recommend." -- M.J.
2. "You're gonna need a bigger boat." -- David A.
3. "Why don't we go lay on the bed and I'll fill you in?" -- Tavis
(Second quote, same flick: "Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.")
4. "Drink up, young man. It'll make the whole seduction part less repugnant." -- James
(Lead character and I share a first name.)
5. "Hello...? I forgot my mantra." -- David A.
6. "'Course I'm respectable. I'm old. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough." -- James
(One of my all time favorite movies. Film noir. LA. Followed by a horrendous sequel. The director has had some legal troubles in the States.)
7. "I'm talking about the gas chamber, and you haven't even asked me what this is about. You've got a big 'Guilty' sign around your neck." -- Joshua
8. "It will cost you sweat and tears, and perhaps... a little blood." -- Tavis
(Silent vampire flick. How many of those are there?!)
9. "Did you ever hear of 'The Seattle Seven?' That was me. And six other guys." -- Bill
10. "Oh wait... was she a great big fat person?" -- Josh
11. "Doctor said I need a backiotomy!" -- James
(The best weed comedy ever.)
12. "Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that." -- Joshua
13. "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room." -- David A.
14. "You either surf or you fight!" -- M.J.
15. "[M]y father assured him that either his signature or his brains would be on the release.... That's a true story. That's my family... that's not me." -- Josh

I officially tag: YOU! (If you want to do it, and you haven't been tagged yet, and you feel the need to wait until you are tagged before you respond.)
