Saturday TeaRoom TeaDay 6/19/10 Fave quote ...

[Chip]

It is a new TeaDay, celebrate with tea of course and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed "high tea." You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today is a TeaRoom TeaDay, a bit off the topic of tea for a change. A little off the wall topic, but please have fun with it. Do you have a fave or memorable movie or TV line/quote? Please share it with us!

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaRoom TeaDay with everyone. Bottoms up!

A Russian! I love Russians! Comrade, I've been fascinated by your five-year plan for the last fifteen years.

OK, share where the quotes are from!

I am sure I will remember more as the day goes by ... still a little groggy here.

You shall not pass ... run you fools!

[Mrs. Chip]

I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this!

Either get busy living or get busy dying.

Generally I do not care for comedies, but this movie is one of few I could watch again and again. Much to my chagrin, this movie drives Chip crazy! I believe he identifies too much w/Dr. Leo Marvin.

What if I'm looking for a bathroom, I can't find one and my bladder explodes?
and ... Gimme Gimme Gimme! I need! I need! I need!

Sorry Chip, I really like this quote, however it was in a short story, not a movie or TV show, may it remain here in TeaDay?
PLEEEZE

I've given up on thinking, it keeps getting me in trouble.

In our Hagi this morning, Yutaka Midori ala O-Cha. Delicious way to start the day.

Have a wonderful TeaDay and TeaWeekend everyone.

Just did my first steep of Formosa Ruby Black Tea, grown in Sun Moon Lake, Nantou, Taiwan, from Jas etea. See Black Tea post for results.

Oh, if we get into book quotes, I could write a quote book! ROFLOL

artmom, just read your review, sounds like an interesting tea.

Yeah, I hear ya about the book quotes!
Maybe Chip will do that for tomorrow's poll, but for now I will let my quote stand unless the mod decides otherwise.

(TBH, soooooooo many movies have followed SK's books .. and the majority of them awful at best ... that I did think this one was one of them).

[Skippyandjif]

Oh wow, I have too many, and a lot of them are from Lord of the Rings... My favorite, though, is:

FOOL OF A TOOK!

(It's kind of an inside joke with my friends from middle school. It's how we still greet each other, now that we're supposedly mature college students. )

I would have followed you... My brother, my prince, my king...

(Every time I read or watch the trilogy, I love how J.R.R. Tolkien was talented enough to have Boromir redeem himself, instead of just staying a "corrupted bad guy".)

I also love Aragorn's speech to the Gondorian army at the end of Return of the King (the "It is not this day!" speech), but it's fairly long.

Now, from other movies/shows...

Make it work!

(My mantra whenever I'm making clothes.)

Thundercats-- Thundercats-- Thundercats-- HOOO!!

Logic is panic's prey.

On my planet "to rest" is to rest, to cease using energy. To me it is quite illogical to run up and down on green grass using energy instead of saving it.

I'm a doctor, not a (insert other job here)!

And finally...

WRYYYY!

(Because apparently, that's the vampire victory noise.)

There are more, but I'm not thinking of them.

Pu-erh with chrysanthemums this morning... Er... Almost-afternoon. (Heh, woke up a bit late. )

[Dresden]

All right look, there's only one return, okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi."

[LauraW]

So many good ones. Where to start...

From Return of the King (I think this version is technically from the book, but it should be more or less identical to the movie), Theoden's speech:
Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

Also from LOTR, though from Fellowship:
This, my friend, is a pint.
It comes in pints? I'm getting one.

This movie is of one of my favorite stage plays - from "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead":
We're actors! We're the opposite of people!

Guildenstern: I think I have it. A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself.
Rosencrantz: Or just as mad.
Guildenstern: Or just as mad.
Rosencrantz: And he does both.
Guildenstern: So there you are.
Rosencrantz: Stark raving sane.

Rosencrantz: Do you think Death could possibly be a boat?
Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is "not." Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat.
Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
Guildenstern: No, no... What you've been is not on boats.

To sum up: your father, whom you love, dies. You are his heir. You come back to find that hardly was the corpse cold before his young brother pops onto his throne and into his sheets, thereby offending both legal and natural practice. Now... why exactly are you behaving in this extraordinary manner?

There are more, but one of them is a very long speech that I can't find online right now and I've somehow lost my copy of the script.

Also, I could go on... and on.... and on... and I might later, once more things come to mind.

No tea yet, about to go fix lunch (got to sleep in today!!) I'm thinking Snowbud with lunch.

``I'll have what she's having'',

"As you wish." The Princess Bride
"You're killin' me, Smalls." The Sandlot
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try." Yoda (I'm not sure which movie)

Grand Qimen in my cup this morning. Getting ready to switch to iced tea. I decided to sort through my daughter's school papers today and am now wondering what possessed me to keep EVERYTHING???

[Victoria]

Well I love movies so I quote them a lot. Most are sort of inside jokes; many from Airplane. Especially if anyone says, "what can you make of this?"
oh I absolutely cannot resist saying: "A hat, a broach, a pterodactyl".

Or "Surely you can't be serious."
I am serious ... and don't call me Shirley.

As for more serious quotes - my favorite is from The Dead Zone:

"I'm a man of medicine, I'm expected to save lives and ease suffering and I love people. Therefore I would have no choice but to kill the *BOO*." (When Johnny asks Dr. Weizak if he could go back in time, would he kill Hitler?)

Tea this morning - Sungma Darjeeling.
