i LOVE your 'quizzes'! somehow, i find them even less challenging than the real ones, you know, for a grade... please keep them up, and i promise i'll always respond.
here's mine
#1
'are you mad?' from national lampoon's vacation, when sparky gets caught by his wife swimmming naked in the pool with christy brinkley
a few more from that show:
(chevy chase) 'awwww, he**, then we'll drive her to cousin normie's for pete sake. i just didn't want to get caught up in a funeral, an inquest and all that crap.'
(beverly d'angelo) 'you are the most self-centered, egotistical, manipulative...'
(chevy again) 'don't say anything you'll regret ellen. i'm only being practical. if we drove straight through, we'd only have 3 days at wally world best.'
and this is my favorite one ever!!
(chevy) 'i think you're all out of your minds. we're 10 hours from the <oopsie> fun park and you want to bail out. i'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation, this is a quest. it's a quest for fun. i'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. we're all gonna have so much dam* fun, it'll take plastic surgery to remove the smiles from our faces. you'll be whistling zippidy do da out of your as*es.'
death to smoochy (about a kid's show rhino)
'you better grow eyes in the back of your <oopsie> head, you horned piece of shi*, because i'm not gonna sleep until worms are crawling 0out of your foam, rubber as*. i'm going on safari mother <oopsie again>, SAFARI (then a loud animal noise)'
this one is very special to me because i first watched this movie with my sister. after i listened to that phase at least a zillion times, she started calling me, said just this quote (complete with animal noise) and then would hang up.
u-turn (if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend you do!)
(that phoenix kid, no, not river, his brother with the impossible name) 'they call me tnt 'cause when i go off, people get hurt.'
bottle rocket: i can't remember any exact quotes really (though i do remember something aobut being confident in a yellow jumpsuit) but the whole movie is too funny. same with rushmore. both are great to watch when you're feeling blue, or feeling good. (and there's this scene from bottle rocket where luke wilson's friend 'breaks' him out of the mental hospital, even though it's a voluntary stay. the doctor walks in to find him 'trying to escape' and casually reminds him of his voluntary status.)part 2
in no particular order:
10. january 13
9. watching my sister give birth. i never thought it was possible to be closer to a person than i am to my niece.
8. crying at my graduation when i looked up in the stands and saw my sister crying (she's my 'real' mommy, though she sometimes comes across as a 'drill seargant') just yesterday, she read me a paper about an emotional moment and that was it. i never knew how proud of me she was until i heard her read it.
7. spotting 2 whales mating, while on a 'whale trip' (is that what it's called? when you get on a boat to go see whales.). no wonder they call me good eyes, the captain almost missed it.
6. looking over the edge of the eifel tower (before running to the restroom and getting sick. yes, i'm terrified of heights!)
5. the first time i went to cali and knew in my heart that it's my home. perhaps someday soon i'll be moving home?
4. being asked by a comedian on stage (and the waitress) to not laugh so loud at a comedy show. (so, i cackle, at least i wasn't heckling!)
3. how i got my name and asking my mother many many MANY times how i did. (ok, i'll tell you.. she was pregnant with me and had a dream that somehow she slept through delivery. when she awoke (in her dream) she asked what happened to her baby and the nurse told her i wsa with my father. my mother demanded to see me and the nurse mentioned my dad had already named me. he named me karen kay and in the dream my mother hated that name. when she awoke form the dream, she told my father that she wanted to name me karen kay and they both loved the name (me too actually!))
2. when my sister asked (she's more dense than i am) 'is that god?' it seems she was looking at a figurine of jesus at the time, but my friend answered 'no babs, that's a doll.' (she's also known to say things like 'eggs come from cows' when my mother said 'BARBARA!!' she then said, 'ooops, i mean pigs.' she was 16 years old at the time. she once also thought that egypt was in mexico. i love her more than life, but she can be terribly dense.)
1. the way i feel after reading kid a's words.
