Need help with a movie quote!! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

brandon11983 · 04-13-2004, 05:15 PM

This has been eating away at me for weeks and it just popped back into my head today. It's from a movie I think I saw somewhat recently. I think its also from a somewhat new movie. The quote is:

"whats in a number? Maybe nothing's in a number, maybe a number is just a number..."

I think there is something said after that but I don't know what it is. Can anyone here help me out? This has been driving me insane for weeks now.

the_marq · 04-13-2004, 06:51 PM

Is that from "The Phone Booth" with Colon Farrel?

brandon11983 · 04-13-2004, 07:04 PM

Cynthetiq · 04-13-2004, 07:15 PM

brandon11983 · 04-13-2004, 07:35 PM

Not Pi. Good guess though, thats what my roommate and the majority of the people that I ask say. The voice saying the quote is more relaxed than Max's in Pi.

i'd kick your little brother's ass for using your computer. or if that was you, then bring up the intelligence knob a few clicks.

brandon11983 · 04-14-2004, 09:24 AM

ha ha. Easy phred. It's just my roommate. He must be off his meds again.

Latch · 04-15-2004, 04:25 AM

This is starting to annoy me.. hehe. I've tried IMDB quotes search.. no go.

I recognise this too... something I've seen recently.. I just can't think of what it was.. and that's what's bugging me so much.

I tried the IMDB quote search too, found nothing even close. Now you know how I feel. I feel like I'm so close.

bond007 · 04-20-2004, 10:29 AM

just a guess... but how 'bout Field of Dreams???

Lasereth · 04-20-2004, 11:49 AM

Now it's got me too. I've never heard the quote before, but I get really annoyed when I can't find something after searching for a few minutes. This is the Internet, dammit!

-Lasereth

brandon11983 · 04-20-2004, 02:30 PM

Not Field of Dreams, it's something I saw recently on DVD.

I KNOW!! I can't believe that the info cannot be found on the all knowing Internet....

MadHatder · 04-20-2004, 07:20 PM

At first read, I would have to say A Beautiful Mind. But, after more thinking, my final answer will have to be Usual Suspects.

brandon11983 · 04-20-2004, 07:41 PM

Wrong and wrong. Thanks for playing, but NEXT!! I'm about to the point of calling the video store and getting a list of all the DVD's I've rented within the past 6 months.

DO IT!! You think like me. You do whatever the fuck it takes to find out the simplest of questions. I'd probably buy every movie I've ever seen and watch them for a month straight to find out which movie it is.

It wouldn't be too much to ask either, as a friend of mine works there. I'm sure he would happily oblige.

bond007 · 04-21-2004, 08:09 AM

Lord of Illusions?

bond007 · 04-21-2004, 08:15 AM

one of the Matrix movies?

Fifth Element?

marz · 04-21-2004, 08:30 AM

True romance

brandon11983 · 04-21-2004, 07:25 PM

I don't even know what the hell "Lord of Illusions" is. In fact... I'm not entirely convinced that you just didn't make it that up.... ok... kidding. Not that. Not anything Matrix, not 5th E, not True Romance. Keep the suggestions coming guys!!

*edit... Lasareth... I made the call.*

End User · 04-21-2004, 09:34 PM

Boiler Room

brandon11983 · 04-21-2004, 11:35 PM

Nope. Haven't seen it.

bond007 · 04-22-2004, 06:07 AM

Bull Durham?

marz · 04-22-2004, 09:38 AM

Independence day

brandon11983 · 04-22-2004, 09:45 AM

No and no.

bond007 · 04-22-2004, 10:06 AM

Spiderman?

JohnnyRoyale · 04-22-2004, 11:13 AM

Maybe Memento? Sounds like one of those train of thought moments in the movie....

soccerchamp76 · 04-22-2004, 12:10 PM

The movie "Seven" popped into my head for some unknown reason...

rev_skarekroe · 04-22-2004, 12:15 PM

Bambi?
Robot Jox?
The Unbearable Lightness of Being?
Ice Pirates?
The Johnson Family Vacation?
Duck Soup?
Intolerance?
Koyaanisqatsi?

Aw, I give up.

bond007 · 04-22-2004, 12:25 PM

I think JohnnyRoyale may be on to something. was there some type of voice-over commentary throughout the movie???

brandon11983 · 04-22-2004, 06:11 PM

Not Spiderman. I am not 100% certain that its not Memento. For some reason I'm thinking that the quote is from the end of a movie and its not at the end of Memento. Not any of the list above. Maybe I should watch Memento again.

Rangsk · 04-22-2004, 09:23 PM

I know this isn't helpful, but it reminds me of a quote from Freud: "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"

Is it possible you've misquoted it, and that's why you're having so much trouble finding the source?

Mr.Deflok · 04-22-2004, 10:44 PM

I hate you brandon11983... my brain hurts now, I feel Lasereth's pain, this is the internet! With Google it should only take 2.67 seconds to find out

You're right, it isn't helpful. I am 99% certain I did not misquote it. I would not mistake a word like "movie" with a word like "cigar."

GOOD!! I HATE YOU TOO!!

.....

I'm sorry Mr.Deflok. Friends? Friends.

The internet sucks. Why is it within 2.67 seconds I can get free college sluts dying to fuck me, a free DVD player, a trip to Jamaica, or some free Viagra, but we can't fucking find a stupid quote from a stupid movie?

duck0987 · 04-23-2004, 12:06 PM

is it Swordfish?

nash · 04-23-2004, 12:20 PM

A James Bond movie?

beerman · 04-23-2004, 12:39 PM

Identity?

Batman976 · 04-23-2004, 12:59 PM

I was watching 21 Grams last night and Sean Penn's character was going on and on about numbers. I was just waiting for him to say this line, so I could come back and tell you that I had figured it out. Unfortunately, if he said it, I missed it.

Sorry.

Now we're getting somewhere! This is a possibility, as it is something I have seen recently. Someone rent it for my broke ass and report back to me!! If I fall into some green again I will rent it again.
