"This place gives me the creeps! Did you know that the books are blank?" "What?" "Yeah, I was in the library and I looked, and they have covers and there's nothing inside of them." "What were you doing in a library?" "I got lost. Oh, wait. Look at this. Do you know why the firemen only rescue cats out of trees? It's because nothing burns around here."
"And I still don't see why we're doing this!"
"Because we're supposed to be in school."

"Hiya, Skip!"
"Hiya, Bud!"
"Hiya, Skip!"
"Bud, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Well, if I was to go up to your sister... What I mean is, if I was to go up to Mary Sue..."
"Oh my God... are we in that episode?"
It's obviously a takeoff on older television shows and movies, it is live, not animated, and characters were in black-and-white at least part of the movie.
In Pleasantville, there are no fires. Wanna catch a fireman's attention? Tell him there's a cat stuck in a tree.
If you haven't seen Pleasantville, please do. Stars a pre-Spider-Man Tobey McGuire and an oh-to-be-young-again, if-i-knew-then-what-i-know-now Reese Witherspoon.Â

I've barely heard of the movie. I had no idea it was any good.
"What is humiliating him in front of the entire class going to prove? This is so unfair." Â "Yeah, well, if life were to suddenly get fair, I doubt it would happen in high school."
Â
"What a waste. I can't do anything more for you. I'm not Wonder Woman, you know."
Â
"So in the end, my girlfriend became my arch-enemy, my arch-enemy became my best friend, and my best friend became my girlfriend. But, hey – that's high school."
"In order to appease the gods, the Druid priests held fire rituals. Prisoners of war, criminals, the insane, animals... were... burned alive in baskets. By observing the way they died, the Druids believed they could see omens of the future. Two thousand years later, we've come no further. Samhain isn't evil spirits. It isn't goblins, ghosts or witches. It's the unconscious mind. We're all afraid of the dark inside ourselves."
Â
"Someone should've listened to me earlier."
"I know. I'm sorry. Dr. Rogers is just afraid this could jeopardize our whole rehabilitation program. He doesn't want anyone from the health department anywhere near Haddonfield."
"Why'd he send you down here, then?"
"In case you'd already found him... alive."
"Tell Dr. Rogers... Tell him you couldn't find me, tell him anything! I can't leave Haddonfield now."
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice. There's a marshal waiting for you outside."

An hour ago I stood up and fired six shots into him and then he just got up and walked away. I am talking about the real possibility that he is still out there!"
Â
"What's going on out here?"
"Call the police! Tell the sheriff I shot him!"
"Who?"
"Tell him, he's still on the loose!"
"Is this some kind of joke? I've been trick-or-treated to death tonight."
"Because if I tell you, you'll tell your friends, your friends are callin' me on the horn all the time, I gotta show up at shopping centers for openings and sign autographs and dang like that and it makes my life a *hell*. Okay? A living hell."
Â
"Go ahead, make my millennium."
Â
"Coach. Coach, where's the men's room?"
"I'm not your coach! He survived!"
"Wait, Coach, let me get something straight. What's our curfew around here?"
"Will you get out of here! Go on, get downstairs! "'Men's room!" Are you kidding? Can't you read signs?"

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."

[Correction: I just watched the "Fire!" scene again, and he only says it five times].

"I don't know if I ever told you this before, but I think you're just about the keenest girl in the whole school!"
"Oh, really, Skip? The keenest?"
