Plaidder's Coping Movie Trivia Challenge

[Plaid Adder]

How do I get through Bush's presidency without resorting to drink? Movies. Lots of movies. Can you tell which one based on the quotes listed below?

1. "I'm being sunk by a society that demands success when all I can offer is failure!"

2. "Gee, Piggy, a girl like I hardly ever gets to meet *really* interesting people. Sometimes my brain gets real starved!"

3. "What do you mean--an African swallow, or a European swallow?"

4. "But if you lose...you must pay me TRIPLE the tax."

5. "My shoes are Japanese, my pants are English, my hat is Russian, but my heart is Indian."

6. "You better get right, pal. We got a show to do."

7. "I use antlers in all of my decorating!"

8. "Dammit, Osgood, I'm a man!"

9. "But it's Chairman Mao!"

10. "Straight down the line, just like you said."

If you get all 10...well, you can lord it over everyone else who didn't.

"I use antlers in all of my decorating"


This one confused me for a while, because its not a spoken line. But when I read it I thought the accent would be on "all".

But in fact its "I use ANTlers in ALL of my DECorating"

So its Beauty and the Beast. Gaston sings this.

Right?
Right?

[Plaid Adder]

10. Right.
