I don't know about you, WordWolf, but I come up with the lines from memory, so occasionally they may be a word off. It doesn't seem to hinder anyone who's seen the movies. (And if it keeps someone from "googling" the answer, so much the better!)
Sometimes I answer, THEN look it up to make sure, so that I can post the next one without waiting. Unless I'm posilutely certain (as I would have been with "Love your suit" had I decided to answer it).
But it's bad form to google and then post the answer. The penalty is a Traxx/Predator 2 marathon.
If it's a longer quote I look it up to make sure I got it right before posting it. If it's a short one I just type it, usually it's a line that my friends and I have quoted a million times to each other, so I vividly remember it (and the memories associated with it).
If y'all post a quote I have no clue about, such as the one up for grabs now. I'll look it up and watch to see who does get it. :D-->
"It doesn't look like a bomb, it looks like an apple with lines coming out of it. What are they gonna say, 'Don't open the briefcase, it's full of fresh fruit'?"

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Ooooh, I've got what I think is a tough one.
I'll be VERY impressed if someone can get this off the first quote
without cheating....
" I haven't laughed so much since Pompeii! "

My corrections were from memory!
You didn't see me posting a stack of quotes from DC Cab, when I hadn't seen the
movie since the 80s? The only thing I COULD look up was Elvis' birthday.
When I posted the quote from Hot Shots:Part Deux, I noticed that nobody seemed
to correctly quote the name "Tojo" when "Tug" Benson gave his speech. All online
quotes give no name or a name like Hirohito, which he did NOT say.
Usually I DO try to find a quote online to make sure I get it as correct as possible.
Since we're not keeping score, I'm relying on the Honor System to keep people
from looking up the answers without bowing out. I always do that with online
trivia.

When I look it up, I don't answer.
Sometimes I answer, THEN look it up to make sure, so that I can post the next one without waiting. Unless I'm posilutely certain (as I would have been with "Love your suit" had I decided to answer it).

That's not breaking any rules, is it?

So I can do that so y'all don't have to hunt me down once I make a guess?

Yes, that's fine.
Honor system.
And no, nothing wrong with looking up the answer and waiting for someone else to chime in. I do it all the time.
And yeah, it's okay to GET the quote from anywhere, especially if you want to get it exactly right.
But then, don't get too obscure.

No, it sure isn't. As long as you don't look it up and then post the answer, you're golden.

Some of these seem somewhat familiar, but the utter goofiness of the clues, combined with sharon's hint, lead me to go with....

Okay, if you've seen the movie, this is the giveaway.
Joe: "Head or gut, Mike?"
Mike: "Joe how long have we been friends?"
Joe: "I'd say roughly until you started banging my wife. Head or gut?"
Mike: "(Sigh) Gut."
Joe punches Mike.
Joe: "Got that address for me?"
Mike: "Huh?"
Joe: "The surveillance job."
Mike: "You still want the job?"
Joe: "Five-hundred bucks is five-hundred bucks, Mike."

I feel like I'm on "Wheel of Fortune" with all but one letter turned over. Still not getting it; I must not have seen this one.

I'm not getting the name, either.
However, I'd like to this this now, based on the quotes. :D-->
