Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

A very Shortened

A very Shortened Quizzy thing: I have about 5 minutes to do this, it's 12:30, my dad wants me to be in bed, so here we go: Wait, I have a better idea:

Tell a quote from a book, a movie, and a song. Now.

Book: This is very random. "S'matter?" he said.

Movie: "Mad and hairy? You woudn't happen to be talking about me know, would you"? Yes I know, very easy, but it's 12:30. Nuff said. 

Song: "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye." Hint: think bugs.

Made it!

Book: "I'm getting tired of killing you, Raven." "That's a pity. I don't think I'd ever get tired of killing you."

Movie: "Inconceivable!" "You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." (yes, that was easy, but I love that movie)

Song: ((no really, guess where this one is gonna be from)) "It's such a shame / It's such a crime / To be so close / And yet so far / So overdue / Yet under par..."

Good quizzy thingy! :)

Also... fourth person to make one after eleven at night! No wait, fifth? ...I dunno.

Book: "Harry, please. You're talking to the man who raised Fred and George." (HP and the Half-Blood Prince)

 

Movie: "It starts with an X." (Akeelah and the Bee)

 

Song: Sorry, can it be longish? I love this part of this song.

If you have a hippo you love very much

Yet you find he has one or two faults

Such as sleeping too late

Such as making you wait

I suggest that you teach him to waltz!

Now there may be a lot of us

Who think Hippopotamus 

And don't picture musical grace

But just offer the chance

To experience dance

And you may be surprised what takes place! ...

I could go on for a while, but it was supposed to be just a quote...sorry... :D

@ Reuben: Um... Is the movie one from the "Data" thing that you and Pirocks seem to like? ...Just that you said "assimilation"...

Book: If you commanded me to cut off my own head, I'd have to do it.

Movie: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" (Sorry, it is the first thing that came to mind!)

Song: Your love is like a tidal wave / sweepin' in over my head.../

Emily L.'s book quote is from Ella Enchanted. Pretty high up there on my favorite books list.

Well, not necessarily, it could be the Hallmark version.  (much better in my opinion... well... maybe not... ok, skip the singing and the dopey character in disney, and they're equal.  :) )

Book: Out of context, but here it goes:

"I hate picking bugs out of my food worst of all."

Sarah complained.

"Better than leaving them in and eating them!" John

laughed at the expression on his sister's face.

--------------------------------------

Movie: "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. You're it?

You're the kings and queens of old?"

---------------------------------------

Song: "Welcome to your life/ There's no turning back/

Even while we sleep/ We will find you/ Acting on your

best behavior/ Turn your back on mother nature/

Everybody wants to rule the world..."
