Friday (Movie Quotes) Edition: Wha’ Happened?

Posted on March 28th, 2008 – 8:40 AM

receipt.jpgSassbottom showed us a fun little web site that generates receipts. It might just become a regular staple of the morning post (and please do note the RandBall event referenced. It is serious. Come meet the one and only Sooze before Tuesday’s Twins game. 5 p.m., location TBA). In any event, you are owed some movie quotes. These are all movies from 2007:

1. You should’ve gone to China, you know, ’cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.

2. Here last week they found this couple out in California. They rent out rooms for old people, kill ‘em, bury ‘em in the yard, cash their social security checks. Well, they’d torture ‘em first, I don’t know why. Maybe the television set was broke.

3. If I don’t go, we gotta pack up and leave. Now I’m tired, Alice. I’m tired of watching my boys go hungry. I’m tired of the way that they look at me. I’m tired of the way that you don’t.

4. You could always subscribe to a site like Perfect Ten. I mean that could be anything, it could be a bowling site.

5. I’m a sex addict. It’s my cross to bear. It’s a real disease with doctors and medicine and everything!

6. I only remember certain details, but from what I’ve been able to reconstruct, it was raining, I was going about 50 miles an hour as I went into a corner, did some wrong steering, wheels went out from me, and suddenly, “Whoo”, skidded off the road, slammed into a ditch and got catapulted 50 feet through the air.

7. Well, I wouldn’t argue that it wasn’t a no holds barred, adrenaline fueled thrill ride. But, there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.

8. What if I were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then what I see now?

9. Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond, only it doesn’t last 22 minutes. It lasts forever.

10. In the mean time, I’m going to get the government to do my laundry.

Special bonus from Fasolamatt: Tattoos. Really, you have to watch even if it does paint an unflattering portrait of us vs. Mr. Matt.

#9 is Knocked Up

And while we’re on the topic of Judd Apatow stuff, I suggest that everyone watch the series Freaks and Geeks on DVD. It’s genius! I wish it would have lasted more than one season.

Oh yeah, and that receipt web site is going to lead to dozens of annoying emails to my friends. They thank you in advance, Rand.

Superbad was great, does it have the chance to be a classic?

There are about 5 of these quotes I have heard but I can’t quit figure out where. I think one is No Country

Joker must have to dump a girlfriend using the old “receipt trick.”

Can the Saddle and Sirloin Club apologize for their name while they’re at it?

Stu-

Judging from the website of the Saddle and Sirloin Club they just recently honored their “Agricultrist of the Year..” who, and I quote:

He is currently serving as the beef coordinator and Artificial Insemination Trainer for Minnesota Select Sires in St. Cloud.

Seems like Stearns County isn’t so different that NDSU.

Zing.

As for this:

You will get no argument from me, save that “GO HUSKIES! WOOO!”

You can only pull out “light my hair on fire” on certain occasions. Some of my other favorites are:

1. It’s not me, it’s you…no really.
2. I think I’m in love with your sister.
3. Just because I don’t find you attactive anymore does NOT make me gay.
4. You don’t deserve me.
5. Welcome to dumpsville, population You!
6. No, we can’t still be friends.

Joker you forgot such classics as:

7. Oh yeah, if I see you with that guy, I’m going to hit him with a shovel
8. And, by the way, it isn’t supposed to smell like that
9. I’m just not feelin’ it, and I don’t want this to get too far along

Joker says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

Can I use those Dave?

Dave MN says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:51 pm

Yes, those lines are for the common good of RandBallers

Dave MN says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:54 pm

7. Oh yeah, if I see you with that guy, I’m going to hit him with a shovel

I forgot to mention, in the situation where the dumpee asks, “Why hit him? Why not hit me?”, an acceptable response is, “Well, it looks like someone already beat me to it…”

Joker says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:45 pm

Then you follow that up with, “did the item they were hitting you with have spikes on…because it left dimples all over your thighs…”

Dave MN says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:28 pm

I’d put on a helmet before I used that one…
