Sorry brethern and sisterns... I guess this game is not my forte... anyway, I just watched Firewall last night, so I don't have any other fresh quotes to think of...

For next time, you can do what I did for Pete's Dragon.
"If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, d---less, hopeless, heartless, fat-foot, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey s--- he is. Hallelujah. Holy s---. Where's the Tylenol?"
"Let me be clear: if your wife shows up hurt again, my stripes won't mean s--t, the stockade won't mean s--t. I will kill you in a heartbeat! Do you understand me? You WILL get counseling!"
Not a well-known flick, but I DID see it in a theater; and I'll never forget this particular exchange.

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."

You could let a few more people guess before you answer Rocky, Do you want to post a quote from another movie and see who may figure it out? :)

......What would you say if man walked in here with no shirt, and I gave him a job?
...... He must have had on some really nice pants.

That's easy.... Pursuit of Happyness
And I haven't seen the movie... (that quote, I believe, was in trailers for the movie)
... and if that's correct, I yield my turn to the gentleman from South Florida (Raf... returning his favor from the other day) :)

For next time, you can do what I did for Pete's Dragon.
http://www.google.com
enter into the search "firewall" "movie" "quotes"
and hit return.
The first page should have a bunch of quotes from the movie on at least 1 page.
In this case, the first result DOES.
In my case, I pulled one quote off the page, and one from my memory
from when I saw the movie long ago.
Sometimes you can even get the entire SCRIPT.

"What do you read, my lord?"
"Words.

Words."
"What is the matter?"
"Between who?"
"I mean, the matter that you read"
"I see a cherub that sees them."

With all that detail, I'd guess that if I'd seen the movie, I'd remember. Sorry.

I was going to say Hamlet. Now I'm not so sure.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead?

Correct!
I was about to start posting all the most famous lines.

=============
Ok, here's where the lines go in the movie/play.
Hamlet, pretending to be insane, is approached by the clueless Polonius,
who was trying to confirm his own guesses as to why.
"What do you read, my lord?"
"Words.
Words.
Words."
"What is the matter?"
"Between who?"
"I mean, the matter that you read"
King Claudius thinks Hamlet has no clue about his plans,
as he sends Hamlet to England.
"I see a cherub that sees them."
Hamlet has the travelling performers enact a play similar to
his father's murder-complete with a few lines Hamlet's added to
complete the resemblance. (He then watches Claudius' reactions
to the play-did Claudius murder Hamlet's father?) This is a line from his play.
"In second husband let me be accursed-
none wed the second but who killed the first!"
Hamlet, on his relation-Claudius is his father's brother, and now
his mother's husband.
A little more than kin, and less than kind."
Polonius, on how wonderful these players are. He spares no inflation in making
them sound great.
"These are the best actors in the world!
Either for tragedy, comedy, history,
pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral,
tragical-historical,
tragical-comical-historical-pastoral.
For the law of writ and the liberty...
these are the only men."
"My lord, you played once for the university, you say?"
"That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor."
"What did you enact?"
"I did enact Julius Caesar. I was killed in the Capitol. Brutus killed me."
"It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there."
Hamlet then engaged Polonius on his own turn as an actor.
Hamlet's play- he had them enact "the Murder of Gonzago."
(With a few added lines.)
What do you call the play?"
"The Mousetrap."
Hamlet almost narrates the story as it unfolds. He's better than a Greek chorus
for narration, he is...
"His name is Gonzago. Wait, you shall see anon...how the murderer
gets the love of Gonzago's wife."
And that's when Claudius starts to lose his cool...
Thought you guys had more of a head for the classics.
Sir Lawrence Olivier, Mel Gibson, and Kenneth Branagh all did versions of
this, and there was a version shown on MST3K.
For me, there's nothing quite like sitting in front of a roaring fireplace with a
book like "War and Peace." You know a big, fat book like that can feed a fire for 2 hours!
(Emo Phillips.)
Go, Raf!

I honestly thought this was an easy one.
"If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, d---less, hopeless, heartless, fat-foot, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey s--- he is.

"...and I want you to sign up for counseling."
"You can't make me do that."
"Let me be clear: if your wife shows up hurt again, my stripes won't mean s--t, the stockade won't mean s--t. I will kill you in a heartbeat! Do you understand me? You WILL get counseling!"
