Each of the following quotes or snippets of dialogue are spoken by Thompson. Your job is to guess which movies they're from. Thompson: This is a story about a man named Harold Crick and his wristwatch. Harold Crick was a man of infinite numbers, endless calculations, and remarkably few words. And his wristwatch said even less. Every weekday, for twelve years, Harold would brush each of his 32 teeth 76 times. 38 times back and forth, 38 times up and down. Every weekday, for twelve years, Harold would tie his tie in a single Windsor knot instead of the double, thereby saving up to 43 seconds. His wristwatch thought the single Windsor made his neck look fat but said nothing. Movie 1: Woman: You must miss him, [name deleted]. Thompson: We are not engaged, Mamma. Woman: But he loves you, dearest, of that I am sure. Thompson: I am by no means assured of his regard, and even were he to feel such a preference, I think we should both be very foolish to assume that there would not be many obstacles to his marrying a woman of no rank who cannot afford to buy sugar. Woman: But, [name deleted], your heart must tell you - Thompson: In such a case, it is perhaps better to use one's head. Movie 2: Thompson: So what's this big news, then? Girl: We've been given our parts in the Nativity play! And I'm the lobster! Thompson: The lobster? Girl: Yeah! Thompson: In the Nativity play? Girl: Yeah, first lobster. Thompson: There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus? Girl: Duh. Movie 3: Girl: Can I give it a try? Thompson: Yes, sure! Girl: The grim. Possibly. Thompson: You know, my dear, the moment I looked into your eyes I knew that you did not have the mind for the noble art of Divination. ...See? Right here. You may be young in years, but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shriveled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave. ...Have I said something? Movie 4: Thompson: It's not the stairs that are killing your father. Man: Aye, what is it then? Thompson: It's your lack of faith. Man: Lack of faith? Faith in what? Thompson: In yourself. Man: No. I have faith in myself. [Name deleted]. Lifer. 30-year sentence. And I know how to survive it, no problem. Thompson: At what price? Man: I'll pay the fuckin' price, don't you worry about it. Thompson: The price for what? Man: Aye. You're very good at the English, aren't you? You see, I don't understand your language. "Justice." "Mercy." "Clemency." I literally don't understand what those words mean. I'd like to put in an application to get all my teeth extracted. That way I could put my fist in my mouth and never speak another word of fuckin' English so long as I live. Do you see what I'm saying? Mrs. [name deleted], is it? Thompson: Are you trying to impress me? Movie 5: Home    |    Frame by Frame    |    The Quiz    |    Gone in 5 Seconds    |    Movie Madness    |    Quotables
