Storyteller, my dear brother...
My publishing deadline is today, March 27, 2013.
At 1:41 PM Eastern Standard Time, I sent my completed manuscript to the publisher!
WOO-HOOOOO!!!
...anyway, that's why I've been pretty scarce lately. I've been working almost around the clock for weeks to meet the deadline. And now it's done.
So, I can catch up on everything that's been goin' on here.
Thanks Storyteller, and everyone, for keepin' the lights on here at this thread.
I'll be back with more of my favorite movie quotes ASAP...

Hey Storyteller...I also adore Remo Williams, and agree it's "horribly underrated".
For right now, though, it's back to The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion.
This comedy gets off to a fast start. These exchanges occur in the first few minutes:
"I found the missing Picasso."
"I don't believe it!"
"I, eh, did uh eh Galaxy Opticals. He cut the thing out of the frame, he rolled it up and it's in one of the telescopes."
"Well how'd ya' figure it out?"
"Let me tell ya' it wasn't easy because I'm supposed to be lookin' for a picture of a a a woman with a guitar but it's all little cubes ya' know and I'm serious...it took me two hours to find the nose."
"Who won the sixth race at Aquaduct?"
"Your horse came in seventh."
"Seventh! Unbe- never bet on a horse who has Parkinson's."
"My god that girl's got a body that won't quit."
"Quit? It won't take five minutes off for a coffee break!"

The 1933 KING KONG has some of my favorite dialogue ever. Its "hard boiled" tough-guy colloquialisms are hilarious and endearing now.

From a movie I never tire of, Tombstone.
Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double. [Billy Clanton draws a knife]
Doc Holliday: [takes out a second gun] I have two guns, one for each of ya.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
Doc Holliday: Revenge.
Wyatt Earp: For what?
Doc Holliday: Bein' born.
--------------------------------
Morgan Earp: Look at all the stars. You look up and you think, "God made all this and He remembered to make a little speck like me." It's kind of flattering, really.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyatt Earp: You skin that smoke wagon and we'll see what happens!
Johnny Tyler: Listen mister, I'm getting awful tired of your...
[Wyatt slaps him]
Wyatt Earp: Are you gonna do something? Or just stand there and bleed?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of my favorites from the film:
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why you doin' this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: ...I don't.
Ok, going to stop there. Just too many great quotes. I'd be writing out the entire script if I wanted to include them all.

My favorite scene from BACK TO SCHOOL. Mr. Melon discusses how to start a business with the college professor during class...
Melon - What's the product?
Professor - That is immaterial for the purposes of our discussion here, but if it makes you happy, let's say we're making tape recorders.
M - Tape recorders? Are you kidding? The Japs will kill us on the labor costs.
P - Okay, fine. Then let's just say they are widgets.
M - What's a widget?
P - It's a fictional product. It doesn't matter.
M - Doesn't matter? Tell that to the bank.
P - On the board you will see a cost analysis for the construction of a 30,000 sq ft facility which will encompass both factory and office space and is fully serviced by all utilities, a railroad spur line and a four bay shipping dock.
M - Hold it, hold it. Why build? You're better off leasing at a buck and a quarter, a buck and a half a sq ft, take your down payment and put it into CDs or something else you could roll over every couple of months.
P - Thank you, Mr. Melon, but we'll be concentrating on finance a little later in the term. For the time being, let's just concentrate on the construction figures, shall we? You will see the final bottom line requires the factoring of not just the material and the construction costs, but also the architect's fees and the cost of land servicing.
M - Oh, you left out a bunch of stuff.
P - Oh, really. Like what, for instance?
M - First of all, you're going to have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. That is the kickback for the carpenters. And if you plan on using any cement in this building, I'm sure the teamsters would like to have a little chat with you, and that will cost you. Oh, and don't forget a little something for the building inspectors. Then there's the long term costs such as waste disposal. I don't know if you are familiar with who runs that business, but I assure you it's not the Boy Scouts.
P - That will be quite enough, Mr. Melon. Maybe bribes and kickbacks and mafia payoffs are how you do business, but they are not part of the legitimate business world, and they're certainly not part of anything I am teaching in this class. Do I make myself clear?
M - Sorry. Just trying to help, that's all.
P - Now, not withstanding Mr. Melon's input, the next question for us is where to build our factory.
M - How about Fantasyland?!
