Quote Game

Okie dokie, one of my best friends, "guitargirl", tagged me to write quotes from movies and see if anyone can guess what they are, so, here ya go, m'dear! There are a lot of them and a lot of quotes are from the same movies.

1. "The only one who can tell me I'm not good enough is you. And even then I may not agree with you."

2. [a bunch of the guys are going into a bar] Do I need an ID or anything?
ID... Identification?
Yeh... I mean, how old do you have to be to get a drink here?
...er eleven.

3. Light the lamp, not the rat, light the lamp.

4. Mother always taught me: "Never eat singing food."

5. That day when you sent me out so boldly to change the world, did you really think there wouldn't be a cost?

6. Unless I am convinced by Scripture and by plain reason and not by Popes and councils who have so often contradicted themselves, my conscience is captive to the word of God. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot and I will not recant. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me.

7. So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!"

8. [giving a lecture] When I became a monk I believed the monks cow would make me holy. Was I an arrogant fool? Now they have made me a doctor of divinity and I am tempted to believe that this scholars robe will make me wise.
[laughter]

9. Well, God once spoke through the mouth of an ass, and...
[laughter] Perhaps he is about to do so again. But...
[leaves his rostrum and starts walking around in the classroom. The students follow him very interested with their eyes] I will tell you straight what I think. Who here has been to Rome?
[a student raises his hand] No. For twice that I could have sprung grandmother and uncle mothers too, but...
[laughter] I didn't have the funds, so they had to stay in the hot place. As for myself, the priests assured me that by gazing at sacred relics, I could cut down my time in purgatory. Luckily for me, Rome has enough nails from the holy cross to shoe every horse in Saxony.
[laughter] But there are relics elsewhere in Christendom. Eighteen out of twelve apostles are buried in Spain.
[laughter] And yet here in Wittenberg we have the pick on the crown. Bread from the last supper, milk from the virgins breast, a thorn that pierced Christ's brow on cowberry and nineteen thousand other bits of sacred bone.
[laughter] All authentic, ancient, sacred relics. Even Johann Tetzel himself, inquisitor of Poland and Saxony, seller of indulgences extraordinary, connoisseur of relics, envies our collection.
[laughter] To posses them for a single night he would willingly surrender five years of his earthly life...
[laughter, returns to his rostrum] Or five hundred years in Purgatory.
[laughter]

10. How is your father?
Alive, unfortunately.
We share the same misfortune.

11. This... is a little piece I like to call, "The Electric Chair".
[Sits in a chair. Everybody stares at him, while nothing happens]
[Country/Redneck accent] I think ya' might have t' turn it up! [Regular accent] I mean that...
[Pretending to be electrified] DAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

12. What kind of idiots do you have working here?
The finest in New York.

I know that's a lot, but I just thought I would have a lil fun with it:)
Hopefully I will be able to think of more stuff to blog about soon. For I know two of my friends that read my blog miss my posts!!
