sdelmonte | My Ten Quotes, Explained

So where are those quotes that I posted Friday from? (In case you still want to guess, cut-tag for your safety.)

1. The flowers are still standing!

As guessed, Ghostbusters. I knew I was marrying into the right family when Batya's brother quoted this line at the appropriate moment.

2. I rent them. I have a lease with an option to buy.

Fletch, which is also a film that Batya's family quotes constantly (much as my brother and I did for years).

3. Implied...or implode?

The 1999 Halloween episode of The Simpsons, possibly the single most quoted TV series ever (and the one I quote almost daily).

4. If we go by the book...hours seem like days.

As guessed, Star Trek II, which I have seen more than any other film.

5. Well, ya got me. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense.

The Emperor's New Groove.

6. That was a hell of a thing!

Galaxy Quest.

7. He's very persuasive.

As guessed, Lilo and Stitch. Funny how Disney went decades without having a quotable movie, and just when 2D was about to vanish (temporarily), we get two films with such great scripts in short order.

8. I am the fingernail that scrapes the blackboard of your soul.

As guessed, Darkwing Duck. Though when I feel like referencing the show, I make up a Darkwingism: "I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the fifth dentist!" (I'm silly that way.)

9. Or try tie-dying!

Animaniacs.

10. Yes. I'm Batman.

Yes, it was Spider-Man who said this, in an issue of Runaways.

And now a bonus quote: Stand by for the blessing!
