I would have used it, but it wasn't from a line or a quote from a movie. Christopher Walken does usually throw in a dance skit whether scripted or not into most of his films or guest appearances. I read he likes his privacy. He lives out in the country in Wilton, Connecticut. His wife lives in an New York apartment. He says the only people he sees are the garbage men. He doesn't use a computer or own a cell phone either. And, something else I did not know about him he has two different colored eyes or heterochromia, a blue eye and the other hazel.
For the purpose of this thread, I think we should rule TV quotes are acceptable as long as they are FAMOUS quotes. The cowbell one is probably the most-quoted Walken quote out there. Can I get an "amen" on that ruling? Anyone?

I think it's funny that Walken's most recognized line was from a Saturday Night skit.

That's how it goes sometimes. One guy was a respectable journalist for years, but nobody remembered him. Then, one day, he reported on a protest somewhere, and quote one protester named "Heywood Jablome", and then suddenly everybody was talking about him the next day. (I remember hearing this when The Daily Show reported on the protest.)
"I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me"
"I have nibbles Greg, could you milk me?"
"I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut".
Indeed. The quirky 'can you milk me' is from "Meet the Fockers". Next line is when the young Henry Hill gets pinched in "Goodfellas" then of course, "Midnight Run". YOU'RE UP!!! Just kidding. WordWolf got it.
"You must be The Monopoly Guy. Thanks for the Free Parking!"

“I want her to be happy, no matter what that means. I want her to find someone who will treat her with all the love she deserved from me. I want her to meet someone who will see her always as I do now, through Your eyes.”
“I'll have you know that I have the reflexes of a cat and the speed of a mongoose. Throw it. I dare you!”
"Hi there. Nice to see ya. Bumblebee tuna. Bumblebee tuna!”

The first was probably his most memorable line from "The Mask." The fourth was Bruce Almighty. The third was from the first Ace Ventura movie, when he bent over and pretended to sing from his behind.
The other quotes I used so far were the 2nd Ace Ventura movie. He met a VIP at an embassy who resembled "The Monopoly Guy", but had a monocle. He dared a spear throw in the fight scene with the spears. If you've seen the scene, you might remember it as clearly as I do.
The last quote was when he was meeting the Wachati tribe. His guide was greeting them as they walked past. "Bombaway achuna." Ace Venture greeted them also, in his own way, as best he could. "Bumblebee tuna."

Since George didn't recognize them, and the thread is young, I thought I'd enable some "help files." Give me a bit of time on this.

Oh, the first one was from Heat. Love that movie

I thought WordWolf already posted the correct answer, did I not see that? Now I can't seem to find it?
Oh well, I don't have the same answer, is it Kathleen Turner?

I don't see an answer from WW here. Anyway, Kathleen Turner is correct (Body Heat, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, War of the Roses).

I have no memory of posting a guess. I also didn't know the answer.

I must have mistakenly thought I saw something about Roger Rabbit, which is one of the clues.
So I'm up. I'll put something up soon.

That last quote throws me, but I think the 2nd quote is ROBERT DE NIRO.

Well, which is it, do you think or do you know WordWolf? Yes, of course that's him.
Last scene from the movie "Midnight Run" when De niro lets the accountant played by Charles Grodin go after catching him for a bounty.

If this is Jim Carrey, I can think of a lot more familiar lines, but the first seems to be him from "The Mask."

It IS Jim Carrey. What's a familiar line is partly subjective.

This was the first post I put up the day I started this thread. One of the lines also used was from "Dead Poets Society".
Would you want to take another swing at it George? Or not, either way.

Eventually, repetition is inevitable, but we're only 2 pages in. George, take another crack at it. Call it a do-over.
