Movie Meme

I had a lot of fun with this meme from Byzantium's Shores that I think I'll try it myself. Hopefully, I have enough readers to actually make it work. Below are 10 quotes from my favorite movies (it was supposed to be 12, but I can't think of that many). As people guess which movies they're from, I'll strike them out. Be aware that the quotes may not be word-for-word as they are coming from my rather faulty memory.

1. "I can't use you real life!"

2. "Laugh it up, monkey boys!"

3. "A man's gotta make a living." "Dying ain't much of a livin'."

Clint the squint in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

4. "Where's your god, now?"

5. "You want tuppence to feed the birds? What will that get you? Fat birds!"

Yup, that's Mary Poppins alright. That was when the bank was trying to convince the boy to invest his tuppence in an account rather than feed the birds.

6. "He won't haggle!"

An obligatory Monty Python reference from Life of Brian

7. "So, the popinjay has pricked the fencing master."

Oooh, scribblingwoman got this one, too. I knew she and I had stuff in common. It's from The Mark of Zorro with Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone.

8. "Call me Jamie-Boy."

9. "Top of the world, ma!"

James Cagney in White Heat. Oh, yeah.

10. "So, what is it exactly that you teach, Mr.Logan?" "Art."

No.6. "He won't haggle!" Taken from Life of Brian, in the bazaar when Brian was trying to buy a false beard.
No.3. Sounds like Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josey Wales. "Whupped 'em again Josey!"
