Oh by the way, the quotation marks are actually there to show someone is speaking.

Your........From Baker

Willravel 08-30-2004 08:17 PM

I knew I shoudln't have made it so easy! Crap!

Kadath 08-31-2004 01:06 PM

Fire:
Is that "You're...from Baker"?

Fire 08-31-2004 05:42 PM

yes, it is - so do you know it kadath?

Kadath 08-31-2004 06:46 PM

I don't. I feel like it should be Blade Runner or something, but it isn't.

Fire 08-31-2004 11:22 PM

I'll give everyone a hint- it is a western

if no one gets it by tommorow night I'll post the answer

Fire 09-01-2004 10:16 PM

ok- no one knows it- so,

Its the first line from "the good, the bad and the ugly" sergio leone's masterpeice

but you have to wade throught about 15 minutes to get to it (including a gunfight that with no dialog)

over to kadath if you want it.....

Kadath 09-02-2004 05:22 AM

Book.
"All this happened, more or less."

Grancey 09-28-2004 10:44 AM

Let's revive this.....the last one was:

Slaughterhouse-5

this is a book: Once you have given up the ghost, everything follows with dead certainty, even in the midst of chaos.

d4in 09-28-2004 11:48 AM

Just stumbled upon this topic, but that's an easy one...Tropic of Capricorn.

Not as good as Miller's Tropic of Cancer though.

Try this one
Book: "In the tower of the nameless necromancer it is always cold."

If you can google it, good luck, but this was an awesome book.

Kadath 09-29-2004 05:13 AM

Mary Gentle, Grunts?

d4in 09-29-2004 05:31 AM

That's it Kadath, you're next.

Kadath 09-29-2004 10:20 AM

Hmm.
"Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed."

A book, in case it wasn't obvious.

pocon1 10-05-2004 08:43 AM

Nobody else answered it, so I googled and cheated. The answer is Ulysses, by James Joyce.

Here is one from me. Book

" "Man" said Terl, "is an endangered species". "

d4in 10-05-2004 02:13 PM

Thats an easy one.
L Ron Hubbard, Battlefield Earth

How about
Book : "Once upon a time there was a Martian named Valentine Michael Smith."

Tophat665 10-05-2004 05:32 PM

Heinlein: A Stranger in a Strange Land.

Book: I am all alone in my pad, man, my piled-up-to-the-ceiling-with-junk pad.

archer2371 10-05-2004 05:56 PM

The Fan Man.

Book: Within five minutes, or ten minutes, no more than that, three of the others had called her on the telephone to ask her if she had heard that somethng had happened out there.

10-05-2004 07:44 PM

Right Stuff?

archer2371 10-07-2004 08:58 AM

That's correct, you're up.

Tophat665 10-20-2004 07:05 PM

Untitled or Archer, start us up again.

espi 10-22-2004 02:13 PM

Well, since no one is playing, I think I'll start it up again. If Archer decides I'm playing out of turn, feel free to disregard my post.

This should be fairly easy, it's from a book:
Quote:

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

Kadath 10-22-2004 04:20 PM

Ah, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

Movie(And an easy one):
Quote:

I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your Senior Drill Instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be "Sir!"

Tophat665 10-22-2004 05:12 PM

Full Metal Jacket!

OK, this may be a toughie. I'll give a new one tomorrow if no one gets it. It's a book:
Quote:

She came out of the store just in time to see her young son playing on the sidewalk directly in the path of the gray, gaunt man who strode down the street like a mechanical derelict.

Tophat665 10-24-2004 03:10 PM

OK, that was a bit tough, but the tnew book just came out, so the whole seires was on my mind. "Lord Foul's Bane" by Donaldson.

Try this one out for size. Also a book, but one of the characters is there by name:
