Tim had this quote lying around for about 2 years. Without anything better to do, he decided to send it in to us. I love being the last option. I hate it. Love it. It.

“Maybe I'm spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.”

As he was recounting this movie quote Josh was also filing my quarterly taxes. Josh isn't an accountant and I don't file quarterly taxes, but hey, a deal's a deal.

“Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before.”

My mom actually sent this quote in about 3 months ago. I told her she couldn't play, but now thanks to Anna, she'll get her wish. I think I wish that were true...

[Han heads out of the Asteroids toward a Star Destroyer]
C-3PO: But Sir. The odds of successfully surviving an attack on an Imperial Star Destroyer are approximately...
Leia: Shut up.

Lindsay delivered our quote for today. When the quoter and quoted names match up, I like to throw myself a little party. Please ignore all of that.

Jamie thought this quote might make me feel better about going to therapy. I didn't, but I had to say it did so she felt better... and I'm the one in therapy.

“One morning, over at Elizabeth's beach house, she asked me if I'd rather go water-skiing or lay out. And I realized that not only did I not want to answer THAT question, but I never wanted to answer another water-sports question, or see any of these people again for the rest of my life.”

Stewart "Don't Call Me 'Stewey'" said he would have rather have an audio clip for this quote. I don't agree. Yes I do. Don't. Do.

“You're not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this - "Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!" See, that's more natural for us. You been hanging out with this dude too long.”

Paul, our quoter today, tells me his preference for film is very much influenced by his late grandfather, a modern day Spanish conquistador. That's a lie and furthermore, I have no idea what it means.

Meggan, today's quoter, hates commitment and only uses month to month phone contracts. It's her own personal way of sticking it to the man... I think.

Brian texted me this quote this morning. I have a plan so all my texting is free. No, I don't, but I wish I did. I don't even know how to text.

“Ask any dope rat where their junk sprang and they'll say they scraped it from that, who scored it from this, who bought it off so, and after four or five connections the list always ends with The Pin. But I bet you, if you got every rat in town together and said "Show your hands" if any of them've actually seen The Pin, you'd get a crowd of full pockets.”

Aside from this quote, Richard's only claim to fame was carrying Wayne Gretzky's bags up two flights of stairs. That's only a quarter true.

Kati wrote a column for the New Yorker once. That has nothing to do with this quote, but I thought it was cool. None of that was true, but I'm not sorry for trying.

Derek, in his infinite wisdom, has requested that this quote remain up for the remainder of the week. I, in my infinite apathy, agreed, however a vote was taken and it said 5 to 1 that I would lose my job if I did.

“We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break out bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.”

Plopperton was a budding child star until realizing his true potential as a crossing guard. Personally, I could think of a better choice. Also, I don't know how I'd get to work otherwise.

“Dear Max, I am sorry to say that I have secretly found out that Mr. Blume is having an affair with Miss Cross. My first suspicions came when I saw them Frenching in front of our house. And then I knew for sure when they went skinny dipping in Mr. Blume's swimming pool, giving each other handjobs while you were taking a nap on the front porch.”

Davie's son wanted to know what getting stoned was. Unfortunately, we haven't yet rolled out our Parental Advice Column here at Moosejaw. Don't worry Davie, we're working on it. I think.

“This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.”

Today's quoter, Jimmy prefers bicycles to cars, but owns a car anyway... you know, in case of aliens or something.

“I'm gonna give you an engine low to the ground... extra thick oil pan to cut the wind from underneath you. It'll give you thirty or forty more horsepower. I'm gonna give you a fuel line that'll hold an extra gallon of gas. I'm gonna shave half an inch off you and shape you like a bullet. I'll get you primed, painted and weighed, and you'll be ready to go out on that racetrack. Hear me? You're gonna be perfect.”

Liz wouldn't tell me how many times she's seen this movie, which leads me to believe that she's never seen it and is acting on behalf of someone else... which is weird.

Tommy: Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The most wretched miserable servile pathetic trash that was ever shat on civilization. Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to get colonized by. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any difference!

Tim claims to know someone here at Moosejaw, but I've never seen him and the guy who sits next to me doesn't even know what I'm talking about. So that settles it.

As a boy scout, Jacob feels that he's living out his dream through this quote. I don't know, do you capitalize boy scout? Boy Scout?

“In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.”
