Friday (Movie Quotes) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Posted on May 9th, 2008 – 8:29 AMBy Michael Rand
Last night was 23 cent pizza night at Papa John’s in the Cleveland area, the result of the Pappy (what we used to call said pizza place in college, when we ate there roughly three times a week) taunting LeBron James with “Crybaby” t-shirts at a playoff game. It seems as though everything went fairly well, but we do have to take exception with one quote from Tim North, one of Papa John’s vice presidents:
“We’re certainly a bit surprised about how darn popular this is.”
Sir, you were offering 23 cent pizzas for one day during an economic recession. If we lived in Cleveland, we might have camped out overnight. If anything, you should be surprised there were no deaths by trampling. (Photo by Ed Suba, AP via Akron Beacon-Journal).
OK, now on to the movie quotes. These are all edited quotes from movies that are fantastic to watch on cable TV because of the ridiculous job of taking out the swear words. We can only find/think of seven specific examples (please add more in the comments if you can). And please, do not put the original quotes in the comments. We’ll start off easy:
1. Son of a buck, Godfather, what have they done to you!
2. Who do you think I am, Christopher Columbo?
3. You racist melon father!
4. Yippee Ki-Yay Mister Falcon!
5. This is what happens when you meet a stranger in the Alps.
6. Where’d you get the beauty scar, tough guy, eating pineapple?
7. Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by Wally Wick here.
Fasola-link! For Stu, he says.
Coming next: another very special RandBall Q&A.

23 cent pizzas are the best thing to happen to Cleveland since the Cuyahoga River quit burning.
And #7 is Ghostbusters.
when we ate there roughly three times a week
I’m surprised you’re alive. Hands down, worst pizza.
Sorry for doing this, but I actually noted a few of my favorite edited-for-TV lines in this post: http://www.worldofb.com/wordpress/?p=408
So, that’s something to read.
(#5 is Lebowski?)
#4 is Die Hard
#5 is The Big Lebowski
is #1 The Godfather? (It seems like it would be too easy if it was)
5. Lebowski, yes.
4. Any one of the Die Hard flicks. John McLane also apparently doesn’t give a “spit” about terrorist’s walkie-talkie threats.
#1 is Old School, yes?
1 actually is godfather.
Hands down, worst pizza.
But they give you a garlic butter sauce with every pie!
I’m going to go ahead and take credit for #4 being Die Hard 2 and being in this post. I also would like to give credit where credit is due. If Clemens hadn’t been a pedophile, this would not have been possible.
Since when are we in a recession?

Also, the ceiling isn’t leaking.
It takes two people to carry out my favorite edited movie quote, because at its best, the voices were so different it was beautifully obvious.
“Strike this (brief pause) guy (brief pause) out.”
2 - National Lampoons Vacation
Has anyone ever waited in line for some krazee promotion like this? I haven’t but probably would. I just can’t think of anything good worth waiting 90 minutes like that for. If I was hungry for pizza, I don’t think I could wait that long. I bet Dominos was a short wait.
Also, the ceiling isn’t leaking.
They fixed the ceiling.
@roughkat
we have a pizza buffet place called Pizza Ranch here in Sioux Falls. When they had their grand opening, they gave out pizza punch cards to the first 50 people. My wife and I waited 30 minutes (during that time they gave us some coffee and dessert pizza), and now we get one free large pizza per month for an entire year.
Actual retail value ~ 200 bucks
was definitely worth it
Waiting makes me angry. How’s that for a statement on society?
StraightCash,
“Let’s cut through the crap, Vaughn. I only got one thing to say to you –strike this turkey out.”
Classic.
“It’s not. I’ll show you the study.”
I just can’t think of anything good worth waiting 90 minutes like that for.
Well…
Stu
Can I get you a pen?
Mike,
“Turkey” is a nice addition.
Coming next: another very special RandBall Q&A.
MR: So, Shakira, if the Wolves fall to 3 or lower in the Lottery, who do you think they will take?
S: Shakes hips suggestively
MR: To follow up on that, do you think if they get Rose or Beasley they can potentially get to .500 next year? The Western Conference is brutal.
S: Writhes
MR: Fair point. Finally, that video where you and Beyonce look exactly the same? That video is so awesome.
S: Blows nose suggestively
MR: Thanks for your time.
SCH,
Listen for “turkey” next time. It’s in there…
Stu:
I’m thinking either Buzz Bissinger or Patrick Reusse.
+1 To Stu.
I can show you the study.
Your boobs will get bigger.
disco: +1 for the mention of Pizza Ranch.
fasolamatt: +1 for today’s fasolalink, which is uproariously funny.
Stu: +1 for, you know, general purposes. Also the Shakira post.
