The envelope, please...

Here are the answers to last post's quiz:

1. "One day, lad, all this will be yours." "What, the curtains?"

Who Said It: The King of Swamp Castle (Michael Palin)
To Whom: Prince Herbert (Terry Jones)
The Movie: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Year: 1975

Okay, so I took a little liberties with this one, but close enough. Collin gets points for immediately sending the King's response, "No, not the curtains..."


2. "We're off on the road to Judea..."

Who Said It: Comicus (Mel Brooks), Swiftus (Ron Carey), Josephus (Gregory Hines), Miriam (Mary-Margaret Humes)
To Whom: Musical Number, near the end of the Roman Empire section
The Movie: Mel Brooks' The History of the World, Part I
The Year: 1981

A great spoof on the old Bob Hope - Bing Crosby "Road" movies; it was a rare road trip in college that didn't start out with this ditty. Points go to Todd for sending in the correct answer.


3. "Sir, does this mean that Ann-Margaret's not coming?"

Who Said It: Private Joker (Matthew Modine)
To Whom: Lieutenant Lockhart (John Terry)
The Movie: Full Metal Jacket
The Year: 1987

I cannot believe that this didn't trigger Collin's FMJ archives... I guess he's saving it for the Red Eyed Fly... no points for anyone....


4. "No, Mr. Bond - I expect you to die!"

Who Said It: Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe)
To Whom: James Bond (Sean Connery)
The Movie: Goldfinger
The Year: 1964

Shirley Bassey's full-throttle theme song, girls in gold paint, a solid gold Rolls Royce, Oddjob and his killer bowler, and Pussy Galore... how can you go wrong? Plus, Connery's Bond set the gold standard... pun intended :) Points given to Todd for identifying the movie, but deducted for even mentioning Roger Moore in the same breath.

5. "Put... the candle.... back."

Who Said It: Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder)
To Whom: Inga (Terri Garr)
The Movie: Young Frankenstein
The Year: 1974

The revolving bookcase scene... One of Mel Brooks' best movies, right alongside "Blazing Saddles" and "History of the World"... no points for anyone on this one...


6. "Contemplate this on the tree of woe."

Who Said It: Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones)
To Whom: Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger)
The Movie: Conan the Barbarian
The Year: 1982

Part of what is arguably the best line of dialog in the entire movie, delivered by the incomparable James Earl Jones, whose Thulsa Doom exuded calm, quiet evil. Points to Kay for posting the correct answer in the comments...


7. "It's such an interesting concept, mixing mime and food."

Who Said It: Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner)
To Whom: Morty the Mime (Billy Crystal)
The Movie: This Is Spinal Tap
The Year: 1984

This was such a wacky quote, from such a wacky movie, I thought "why not?" No points for anyone here...
