"The only reason that you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you." "You inhaled plutonium, George." "So?" "So I'm not the only person who shouldn't be here today." "You okay?" "I'm fine." "Is there anything I can do?" "I said I'm fine! I am trying not to think about what happened, I'm gonna process it later, okay?" "Sure, fine." "Edgar, I appreciate your concern. I really do. Just when I shot that guy, I thought I'd go all fetal position. But the truth is, I didn't feel anything. At all. I hope I'm not some kind of a psychopath." "Well, he WAS trying to kill you." "Yeah, but still!" "Maybe it's a delayed reaction kinda thing. Maybe you'll freak out about it in a few days." "I hope so." "Did you revise the casualty projections?" "Of course...Here they are." "Just give me the number." "Two to five million dead within the first 48 hours." "Good enough." "I was unfairly harsh to you a few minutes ago, I didn't mean anything." "All right. Apology accepted." "It wasn't really an apology, it was more of an observation." "You are gonna tell me what I wanna know, it's just a matter of how much you want it to hurt." George

It appears to be a reference to "Dune," but I don't know the song. George

A good friend of mine in Florida (an ex-Wayfer -- boy, did she get screwed by TWI) is involved with MonaVie and has apparently made a buttload of money. She tries to get me involved, but I've always found MLM a shaky business model. I just drink Blueberry-Acai V8 Fusion! George

Nope, It's "The Last Farewell" by Roger Whittaker. It was pretty big in the summer of 1975. FREE POST! George

A ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor; Tomorrow, for old England, she sails... George

Hint: the boy's name was Michael... George

That actually is easy enough to be in "Flicks remembered from..."! I'll pass for now, though. Maybe a lurker will jump in. George

It is, indeed "Watchmen." Were you actually answering or being coy? George

No. Older flick (though it was re-made a couple of years ago). George

"New York, New York." This one might be a little less known, but it was pretty big when it came out: A ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor... George

Okayyyy...let's just pretend that Raf had picked a DIFFERENT Michael Douglas film, say, "The Game." Then we could have Sean Penn Fast Times at Ridgemont High Judge Reinhold George

"The only person with whom I felt any kinship with died three hundred years before the birth of Christ. Alexander of Macedonia, or Alexander the Great, as you know him." "It doesn't take a genius to see that the world has problems." "No, but it takes a room full of morons to think they're small enough for you to handle!" "Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us, Daniel." "We need to squeeze people." "Sure. We'll pick them out of a phone book." "You forgot how we do things, Daniel. You've gotten too soft. Too trusting. Especially with women." "No, listen, I am through with that! God, who do you think you are? You live off people while insulting them and nobody complains because they think you're a goddamn lunatic!...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, man." "Daniel? You are a good friend." "I don't mind being the smartest man in the world, I just wish it wasn't this one." George

There are a LOT of famous movies I haven't seen, from "Gone with the Wind" to "The Exorcist" to pretty much every Academy Award Best Picture in the last 20 years. I have seen this one: "I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil." George

Anyway... "Did you revise the casualty projections?" "Of course...Here they are." "Just give me the number." "Two to five million dead within the first 48 hours." "Good enough." "I was unfairly harsh to you a few minutes ago, I didn't mean anything." "All right. Apology accepted." "It wasn't really an apology, it was more of an observation." "You are gonna tell me what I wanna know, it's just a matter of how much you want it to hurt." George

I haven't seen this movie, so this is just a guess: "Psycho"? George

Actually, it was the last quote that made me think of the girls. And I think Shirley was Polish. (Obviously, Laverne wasn't!) New show soon. George

I can hear the song in my head, but I can't think of the title... George

"Laverne and Shirley"? George

You are right, of course. The group you're probably thinking of is Shocking Blue, who first performed it in 1969. Bananarama covered it in 1986. Go for it! George

It was a hit in the 60's and the 80's A goddess on a mountain top Burning like a silver flame George

Still no idea... George

That's it. My next posts would have had the names Alex and Mallory in them to make it easier, but you got it. George

"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us, Daniel." "We need to squeeze people." "Sure. We'll pick them out of a phone book."

"I don't mind being the smartest man in the world, I just wish it wasn't this one." George

This reminds me of a cartoon that appeared in a freshman brochure when I was at MIT (almost FOUR DECADES ago!!!): A man is standing at in Information booth and asks, "Who am I; where am I going; and when am I going to get there?" Now, if I could just remember where I put my keys... George

"Airplane 2"? :lol: George
