HUDSON HAWK (1991)
A bad joke, between two night watchmen:
"673 Wongs in the phone book!"
"Hmmm. That's a hell of a lot of wong numbers. Look up Chin."

"I sometimes think, how is anyone ever gonna come up with a book, or a painting, or a symphony, or a sculpture that can compete with a great city. You can’t. Because you look around and every street, every boulevard, is its own special art form and when you think that in the cold, violent, meaningless universe that Paris exists, these lights, I mean come on, there’s nothing happening on Jupiter or Neptune, but from way out in space you can see these lights, the cafés, people drinking and singing. For all we know, Paris is the hottest spot in the universe."
~Gil Pender (Owen Wilson) in Midnight in Paris.

DR. STRANGELOVE Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (1964)
On the brink of global nuclear destruction, the President Of The United States, Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers), is speaking with Russian Premier Kissoff from the telephone in the War Room:
"Hello? Hello, Dimitri…
Listen, I can't hear too well. Do you suppose you could turn the music down just a little?
Oh, that's much better. Yes, yes.
Fine! I can hear you now, Dimitri!
Clear and plain and coming through fine.
I'm coming through fine too, eh? Good!
Then, well, then, as you say, we're both coming through fine.
Good.
Well, it's good that you're fine and I'm fine.
I agree with you. It's great to be fine. Heh, heh, heh…
Now then, Dimitri…
You know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb?
The bomb, Dimitri.
The hydrogen bomb.
Well now, what happened is, uh, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of, well, he went a little funny in the head. You know, just a little funny, and uh, he went and did a silly thing.
Well, I'll tell you what he did.
He ordered his planes to attack your country.
Uh…well, let me finish, Dimitri.
Let me finish, Dimitri.
Well, listen! How do you think I feel about it?
Can you imagine how I feel about it, Dimitri?
Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello?
Of course I like to speak with you! Of course I like to say hello!
Not now, but anytime, Dimitri!
I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened!
It's a friendly call!
Of course, it's a friendly call!
Listen! If it wasn't friendly, you probably wouldn't have even got it!
They will not reach their targets for at least another hour.
I am…I am positive, Dimitri.
Listen, I have been all over this with your Ambassador. It is not a trick!
Well, I'll tell you. We'd like to give your air staff a complete rundown on the targets, the flight plans and the defensive systems of the planes.
Yes…if we're unable to recall the planes, then I'd say that, well, we're just gonna have to help you destroy them, Dimitri.
I KNOW THEY'RE OUR BOYS!
Alright, well listen. Now…WHO should we call?
WHO should we call, Dimitri?
The…the…what? Sorry. You faded away there…
The People's Central Air Defense Headquarters?
Where is that, Dimitri?
In Amsk, right? Yes?
Oh. You'll call them first, will you?
Uh-huh…
Listen, do you happen to have the phone number on you, Dimitri?
Well, uh…I see. Just ask for Amsk information…
Uh…um..I'm sorry too, Dimitri.
I'm very sorry.
Alright, you're sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well!
I am as sorry as you are, Dimitri. Don't say that you're more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are!
So…we're both sorry, alright?
Alright."

Hey, You need to check your own thread, kinsinger - we've had that!!! Page 7, preston even shared that he and his brother quote it during long-distance calls!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hey, BillCarson!
I just re-read pages 6, 7 & 8.
It ain't there.
Later, when I have more time, I'll do a more thorough review.

To My Dear Mr. Phelps,
I love your Hemingway thread!
Like you, I'm a huge Woody Allen aficionado, and I think Midnight In Paris is one of his masterpieces!
Did my "Eau D'Ernest" comment offend you, good sir?
I was just trying to be funny…
|
|
|
|
|
|
"...ahh sorry Dmitri, youre right, it was on page 7 all along,."
|
|
|
|
|
|
BillCarson, BillCarson, BillCarson…
I have just spent the last hour combing through this thread, post by post.
I've gone over halfway through it.
Page 1 through Page 25.
There are absolutely NO MENTIONS of Dr. Strangelove on ANY of those pages!
Have you sent me on a wild goose chase, my friend?
|
|
|
|
|
|
"...of course this is a friendly call, dmitri, now before the bombs drop would someone please show Kinsinger the quotes from strangelove on page 7 and Prestons comments about his brother.. Totalling four posts ..right after Kinsinger's war of the worlds dialogue...".
|
|
|
|
|

OK, BillCarson…
I FINALLY found your Dr. Strangelove post…ON PAGE 35!!!
,,,and here's what I found on Page 26:
TO: NEOTRINITY & STORYTELLER:
Boys! BOYS! No scrapping. You are two of my very favorites here at the board, and I'd like you to try to get along, OK?
And, as I adore all of your contributions to my humble movie dialogue thread (soon to celebrate a year here!), please feel free to repeat yourselves anytime at all.
There.
I gave them permission to repeat, thereby giving it to everybody, including myself.
Also, MY Strangelove quote is better than YOUR Strangelove quote, BillCarson!
Mine is complete!
So there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"...Yes, dmitri, but mine covered the best bit, not the rest of the script..."
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's a matter of opinion, BillCarson!
I believe that the entire monologue is FILLED with "best bits"!
Like THIS one:
"Well now, what happened is, uh, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of, well, he went a little funny in the head. You know, just a little funny, and uh, he went and did a silly thing.
Well, I'll tell you what he did.
He ordered his planes to attack your country.
Uh…well, let me finish, Dimitri.
Let me finish, Dimitri."
The only REAL way to settle this little argument of ours is for both of us to…step outside…
