The rules (now modified from the generic meme version because with issue #4 it becomes mine):

1. In the extended entry are quotes from 13 movies. Your job is to identify the movie that each quote came from.


2. Guess as many times as you want, just don't get silly about it.


3. First person to correctly guess each entry gets a point. If there are any left after 24 hours they are worth 2 points.


4. As people guess the films I will strike out those entries and note who got it first.


5. NO cheating!!! That means NO: Google, IMDb, searching my archives etc.!

#1: Vanilla Sky, Caught by Holly

"Doc, once you've been driven off a bridge at 80 miles an hour, somehow you don't invite happiness in without a full body search."

#2: Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Caught by Clancy
"When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? But it is!"

#3Hell Boy, Caught by Holly
"Remind me why I do this again."
"Rotten eggs and the safety of mankind."
"Ah!"

#4: Ice Pirates, Caught by Tiffani
"Space herpes! On this ship?"

#5: The Royal Tennenbaums, Caught by Holly
[quietly, into recorder] "Dudley suffers from a rare disorder combining symptoms of amnesia, dyslexia, and color-blindness, with a highly acute sense of hearing."
[from adjoining room] "I'm not color blind, am I?"
"I'm afraid you are."

#6: Runaway Jury, Caught by Contagion
"...I was under the impression that we'd already purchased ourselves a verdict."

#7: Serendipity, Caught by Tifani
"Kids your age. Pimple-faced college drop outs who have made unhealthy sums of money forming internet companies that create no concrete products, provide no viable services, and still manage to generate profits for all of its lazy day-trading son-of-a bitch shareholders! Meanwhile, as a tortured member of the disenfranchised proletariat, you find some altruistic need to protect these digital plantation-owners?!"

#8: Underworld, Caught by Rob
"We have to get the bullets out quickly, or they end up dying on us during questioning."
"What happens to them afterward?"
"We put the bullets back in."

#9: From Hell, Caught by Rob
"You stand before your peers, masons and doctors both."
"I have no peers present here."
"What?"
"No man amongst you is fit to judge... the mighty art that I have wrought. Your rituals are empty oaths you neither understand nor live by. The Great Architect speaks to me. He is the balance where my deeds are weighed and judged... not you."

#10: Chocolat, Caught by Kenny
"I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do - by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include."

#11: Species, Caught by Contagion
"We decided to make it female so it would be more docile and controllable."
"More docile and controllable, eh? You guys don't get out much."

#12: House of Sand and Fog, Caught by Clancy
"Do you understand? Do not feel bad. Americans they do not deserve what they have. They have the eyes of small children who are forever looking for the next source of distraction, entertainment, sweet taste in the mouth. We are not like them. We know rich opportunities when we see them and do not throw away God's blessing."

#13: Labrynth, Caught by Holly
"What exactly have you sworn?"
"I have taken an oath that no one may cross this bridge without my permission."
"Well... May we have your permission?"
"Well I, uh... I... that is, uh... hm... Yes?"

Bonus Points: 3 extra points to the first person to identify how these movies are interrelated.
