My proposition is to post a line from a movie, one you think most people would know. (not too obscure)

The goal is to name the movie. You can add who said it, the character or the actor or both if you want.

I'll start with an easy one to get this going.

You got it Peter, you're up next. I think we should stick to movies as a single line from a book might not be all that memorable to others.

Oh so many great movie lines. I am on board with the boundaries.

Hmmmmmm. Well, I have 2 in mind. Here goes with the first.

Paul Newman, from the early 70's, I think. Can't remember the name of the film, sorry. ;-)

"Jaws".

I think the old salty sea captain might have said it. Not sure. Him or Roy Schieder's character.

Since I am sure I got this one, here is the other quote I wanted to give.

"Get away from her, you bitch!"

Rings a bell - is that Ripley in Aliens?

May-25-2013 14:04

Peter, you got it, the original Jaws, the sheriff was afraid of the water and just saw the the shark up close and personal.

Your new clue hmmmmm (puts thinking cap on.)

No need to stress you gray matter, Sophie.

Cordy! So good to see your face, so seemingly seldom seen. And doubly good to see it so that I can concratulate you and pass the torch. Ripley in "Aliens" is exactly correct!

Bumping; Cordy, you're up! :)
