Okay, this is probably not going to end up as regular as I would like, but I'm going to try to submit a pop culture question on a regular basis for you all to answer.
The question will usually take the form of a line from a film, song or book and a requst for you to name which film, song or book it's from.
Obviously, Google provides a massive opportunity for cheating, but you'll only be fooling yourselves (okay, and everyone else), and it'll take away all the fun.
And don't worry if it seems that King is getting all the answers ahead of you, if it gets too ridiculous I'll just ban him.

Here's the first one, tell me where it's from:

'The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.'

EL professional. aka Leon.
while whipping out a bloody great rifle

Woohoo... more, more, more...

ooh well it's certainly ringing some bells, ummmm...

As the man said it's from Leon...I suggest an evolment of the rules to: Get it right, put up your own teaser.

For example:

Crikey!

Nice Idea King. (or NIK for short)

that bird from the Spanish Prisoner.

I don't care about the symantics, I just want the protein.

ummmm, oh sounds like something out of rocky..you know..when he's making his morning eggs...

unforunately no. But it should be, i think a combo of the correct answer with Rocky would make a crazy movie!!

Chris, did you mean:


which is from Grosse Pointe Blank? (which, oddly, I just watched last night)

Maybe i did mean that. I'm not sure though, could have sworn it was the other way about. *goes home to watch again*

Still you're right so its your turn!

ehhh, I have a cold so I keep hearing everything a little off anyways.
Here's one that made me laugh yesterday:

That's got to be Hitchhiker's guide...not sure which book, probably Mostly Harmless and certainly Ford...right?

On the assumption I'm right:

"I had to dress up as an Iranian woman once"

"Did you?"

"I didn't have to."

"We should talk."

I was giving other people a chance to reply but I'm sure thats Mike and Tim from Spaced.

So...

"I'm killing you. But unfortunately I could only afford a Wiffle ball bat, so it's gonna take a while."

Would it help if I added the previous line?

"What the hell are you doing, Cartman!"

EDIT: "yep mike is right, it from S07E03 - Toilet Paper, IMHO one of the best."

Yeah I kinda guessed it was a cartoon and then I kinda guessed SP but it's easy to say after the fact innit? I didn't know for sure so...

Let's try this;

"This could get interesting"

"Define 'interesting'"

"Oh God, oh God, We're all gonna die?"

ummm...jaws?

hehe...it would be awesome if it was Jaws but I think it's from the new Serenity trailer.

If so, here's my contribution.

I am pleased that someone got that right...I'm also pleased that you seem to be a Black Books fan as that quote is pure Bernard.

Hey man, I thought you killed yourself.

What?

I thought you killed yourself. That wasn't you?

No, no, tha-that wasn't me.

This thread seems to have taken on a life of its own which is fine by me as I can't be asked to ask the questions anyway.

For those of you with way too much time on your hands:

Quizardry

For lovers of the film quotes, I recommend Film Quotes 6. It's hardcore.

You can't be asked to ask the questions? Yes you can!

Jonnyboy, would you like to ask the questions?

There.

As no-one seems inclined to even guess, here is another quote from the same film:

How about some fucking furniture, man?

I bought a chair once, but I didn't like it.

Where is it?

It's keeping us warm.

This one is killing me but i refuse to google it.

Oh my God I just died laughing as quietly as possible and now everyone in my office really does think I'm Malcolm. I should have said 'I can't be arsed to arse the questions'. Or something like that.

Good man, I'll add another shall I?

You know, our bodies are capable of incredible things when they're subjected to anxiety and stress. I found my ex-best friend's cufflinks in my wife's purse one time. I couldn't get an erection for a year and a half... for example...

Garden State! but in the end I saw scene from the chair quote in some sort of vision after reading the last one.

So...

You know, before I gave that up, I used to drink it every night, every single night up until it was time to go to sleep, just to make me dream faster. You know like when they flash them cameras on them Indy 500 cars and they like,

** insert a ten or fifteen instances of the sound of a car going past really fast in quick succession **

That's how my dreams where.

oh no that's ringing the bells in my head so hard i can't hear the answer...ho hum...

And a little further back in the scene,

Bill Murray! Groundhog day, Ghostbusting-mother-fucking-who-you-gonna-call-Bill Murray!

Yeah, but lets keep it between us

this is most likely a mis-quote by the way as I am bored at work while i write this, but the idea is there.

Okay guys, here it is. The big one.

Do not start this at work unless your boss is incredibly easy going because I guarantee that you will get no work done until you have finished or killed yourself trying.

Pop Quiz

I think we can safely say no-one's gonna get that Chris. I've not seen the film in question.

So an easy one to restart this ball:

It's in that place where I put that thing that time.

Not easy then?

Sorry I must have missed that.
Lets just add another quote as the film IS a classic.

(also it is worth noting that this quote is the origin of another Badgerfest related phase, a unversal reply to any comparative question)


Character 1: Was that her top?
Character 2: One-handed!
Character 3: Difficulty rating?
Character 4: Seven.
