Movie quotes for $800, Alex.

Some movies I like, after one level of indirection. Use IMDb if you must, but that's the easy way out 1.

  1. Maybe I'm spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.
  2. Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here!
  3. Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.
  4. Remind me to make you an honorary blind person.
  5. Would you qualify that as a launch problem or a design problem?
  6. Look, we all go way back and uh, I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place and I'll never forget it.
  7. No, it is not dangerous to confuse children with angels.
  8. I can't fire them. I hired these guys for three days a week and they just started showing up every day. That was four years ago.
  9. Communism was just a red herring.
  10. Hey Albert? Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.
  11. There's someone out there for everyone - even if you need a pickaxe, a compass, and night goggles to find them.
  12. It's the truth that you should never trust anybody who wears a bow tie. Cravat's supposed to point down to accentuate the genitals. Why'd you wanna trust somebody whose tie points out to accentuate his ears?
  13. Goddammit, I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good!
  14. Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!
  15. I think I have it. A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself.

1 Yes, I used IMDb but I wanted to make sure I got all the quotes right word-for-word. What are you going to do about it?

[Update, 4 Dec: I've struck out the quotes that have been correctly identified in the comments. Keep up the good work!]

[Update, 5 Dec: Only 3 left! They're the tricky ones, too.]

[Update, 10 Dec: Remaining answers are posted.]
