Peanut Gallery

Braden is the President of the Accounting Club.  Each week, the members of the club meet and hear a presentation by an accounting firm, company, CPA, etc.  Being that accountants by nature are a bit dry, you can imagine how exciting these meetings can be.  He wants to start opening the meeting with a movie quote challenge.  Whoever can correctly identify the source of the weekly movie quote wins a candy bar.  Fun.  But we need good movie quotes.  Not the obscure ones that no one would really know.  Like "If we need anything, we'll call" from Pride and Prejudice.  Seriously, no one knows that quote because it is not quoteable.  We're looking for the winners, like "Now that's a real shame when folks'll be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that."  But we doubt the "kids" in his college have seen "Better Off Dead".  We have to keep remembering that they are between 18-22 years old and saw different movies than we grew up with.  So, we're stumped. 

Any favorite, timeless, quality, funny, memorable (not necessarily all of the above) movie quotes he could use?

If you have one, please leave it in the comments with the source. 

Thanks!

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

pretty much anything from emperor's new groove :) Or is that just from the Joseph-fan-club? Because that's how we open our fan club meetings.

Great ideas Kerri! For the quotes and the name of the snack tubes. I'd like to hear about the convo with the missionaries and their movie quotes. :)

"I have nipples Greg. Can you milk me?" - also from Meet the Parents

-"So you're saying there's a chance."
-"What's the soup d'jour?" "It's the soup of the day." "Mmm that sounds good. I'll have that."
-Dumb and Dumber

-"Go ahead, punk. Make my day." -Dirty Harry

-"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!" "Ain't nobody understand the words coming out of your mouth." - Rush Hour

-"You can be my wingman anytime."
-"Talk to me, Goose."
-Top Gun

You may have to check on the exact wording of these. It's funny how we can say movie quotes all the time. But when asked to recall, we can't think of any. Haha. Anyway, hope those help.

I could not think of anything until I did this to my husband the other night after I finished the laundry 100 percent. (folded, hung, socks). I ran up to him and did

"Supestar" After I said it, I thought of your post.

It is from Molly Shannon who played the Catholic School Girl on Saturday Night Live.
