I wanted to use this one, and it seems it'd have had the same result for me, too Sorry, ElendilPickle and nightreign!

This one (as opposed to "Luke, I am your Father") was what I was thinking about in my clarification request. (That, and "Play it again, Sam")

I seriously considered going with the "Gone With The Wind" quote TWICE, remembering it had landed at number one on AFI's list of 100 quotes or something or other that I had watched a special of years ago. And then I went with A Few Good Men. Which not even a few good men picked as well. Sigh...here we go again.

Yeah, I chickened out because it's longer and I thought others might do the same. Alas.

The rules said the entries closed on Wednesday.

gamawire · Post by **gamawire** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 6:45 am

I had meant to end this on Tuesday but clearly wasn't thinking that when I put the rules in. Sorry for those who missed entering, but I clearly can't unring the bell.

Enter questions 4 through 11, you still have a pretty good shot at beating me, apparently.
