h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Nice job, Austin!

I always loved "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"....ever since I was a tike.

Here's another:

"What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you."

This one should be easy.

I'm off to grab some while you ponder this one.

That sounds suspiciously like Brando aka Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

How about

"He's taking the knife out of the cheese! Do you think he wants some cheese?""

Told ya it was an easy one

Your's I don't think I know, Mycroft

The person saying the line is drunk, if that helps.

Nope....doesn't help at all.

Any other clues?

You can have another quote from the same character:

"I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, BUT! I have weekends off, and I am my own boss."

Dudley Moore in one of his best roles - Arthur. (the drunk clue should have given it away really).

OK, here we are:

"Birds, man, Birds. Do ya no have them in the States?"

Cheers

Wolfie

I shoulda known that one....but in my own defense, it has been years since I have seen 'Arthur'.

Wofie - I am not sure your new one rings any bells in the belfry of my mind.

Anyway.....time for me to catch some , so I leave you with this:

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure."

That's definately Agent Smith in The Matrix.

How about:

"Ah, I see your Swartz is as big as mine!"

Rama

That could only be Rick Moranis in 'Spaceballs'

So, nobody's guessed it yet. It is from one of the all-time classic fims (you've probably all seen it a million times - usually at Christmas).

From the same scene, to give you a clue:

"What do they call a mole in Scotland?"
"A mole."
"Aye."

Any guesses?

Cheers

Wolfie

That'll be Steve McQueen and some Scots in 'The Great Escape'

Next up:

"Don't fight it, son. Confess quickly - if you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.

That would be Brazil during Jonathan Pryce's interrogation. Don't know the other actor of the top of my head though.

"Well, look happy you stupid b*st*rds, we won didn't we?"

Rama

That would be Bill (can't remember the actors name) in the Italian Job, just after they've pulled the heist and have all clambered back into the dormobile.

The original quote from Great Escape (the one about the moles was a helpign hand) was said by Archibald "Archie" Ives, when he and Hilts are first sent to the cooler.

OK, next up is:

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust."

Cheers

Wolfie

A clue:

It was from a sequel that largely contradicted the much better original film.

Cheers

Wolfie

That's from the abominable Highlander 2.

Here's an incredibly easy one...

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothing yet..."

Hi Mycroft
Al Jolson, The Jazz Singer.
Also the first words of the talkies.
All the best, A.M.

Here's a nice easy one for you:

"I'll find him for three. But I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten."

Cheers

Wolfie

That was Quint, (Robert Shaw)in 'Jaws'.

How about, (just before the greatest fight scene ever):
'Red wine with fish, well, that should have told me something'.
All the best,
A.M.

So, Austin, just what is the greatest fight scene ever?

Cheers

Wolfie
