Quotables #49: The Collective Cinema of Tom Hanks
Continuing our Collective Cinema Quotable game, we've decided to pick the movies of Tom Hanks. Each of the following quotes or snippets of dialogue are spoken by Hanks. Your job is to guess which movies they're from.

Hanks: Evelyn, could you come here for a second? Which team do you play for?
Woman #1: Well, I'm a Peach.
Hanks: Well, I was just wonderin' why you would throw home when we got a two-run lead. You let the tying run get on second base, and we lost the lead because of you. Start using your head. That's the lump that's three feet above your ass. ...Are you crying? Are you crying? Are you crying? There's no crying! There’s no crying in baseball!
Woman #2: Why don't you give her a break, Jimmy -
Hanks: Oh, you zip it, Doris! Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pigshit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game. And did I cry?
Woman #1: No, no, no.
Hanks: No! No! And do you know why?
Woman #1: No.
Hanks: Because there's no crying in baseball. There's no crying in baseball! No crying!
Movie 1:
Hanks: He murdered Annie and Peter!
Man: There are only murderers in this room! Michael! Open your eyes! This is the life we chose, the life we lead. And there is only one guarantee: none of us will see heaven.
Hanks: Michael could.
Man: Then do everything that you can to see that that happens.
Movie 2:
Woman: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as your wife?
Hanks: Well, Dr. [name deleted], that's hard to imagine.
Woman: What are you going to do?
Hanks: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning, breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while, I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out. ...And then, after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
Woman: Tell me, what was so special about your wife?
Hanks: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together...and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home...only to no home I'd ever known. I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like...magic.
Movie 3:
Hanks: Will you please leave? I got a deadline to meet. God.
Boy: Who the fuck do you think you are?
Hanks: Hey!
Boy: You're [name deleted], remember? You broke your arm on my roof! You hid in my basement when Robert Dyson was about to rip your head off!
Hanks: You don't get it, do you? This is important!
Boy: I'm your best friend. What's more important than that, huh? ...And I'm three months older than you are, asshole!
Movie 4:
Hanks: I'm a schoolteacher. I teach English composition...in this little town called Adley, Pennsylvania. The last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was a coach of the baseball team in the springtime. Back home, I tell people what I do for a living, and they think well, now, that figures. But over here, it's a big - a big mystery. So, I guess I've changed some. Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even going to recognize me, whenever it is that I get back to her. And how I'll ever be able to tell her about days like today. Ah, [name deleted]. I don't know anything about [name deleted]. I don't care. The man means nothing to me. It's just a name. But if...you know, if going to Rumelle and finding him so that he can go home - if that earns me the right to get back to my wife, then that's my mission.
