I have some catching up to do.

Churlita said...

I found myself going, "Doh!" to a lot of those quotes. I knew them within the movie, but couldn't figure it out, out of context.

Laura, I know. It's soooo difficult to figure out movie by one quote, unless you choose a really famous one, which I didn't.

Mel - well, you can go to the movie theater...

Monty...perhaps.

Churlita - see note to Laura. Jeez. I can't do it at all.
