It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others.

I remain hooked on this 1 Quote a Day assignment. In the comments on a recent 1QAD assignment on Mome’s blog, he pondered the idea of dropping clues in the comments section of the post. This seems like a good idea. The comments can also be used to discuss the significance of the film, song, game or comic from which the quote comes from I suppose.

For today’s 1QAD, I’m giving up on the film quotes were drawn from for the three previous days and shifting to another of my all time favorites. The quote is:

“Charlie don’t surf.”

Come to think of it, my all time favorite band did a song by the same title. So I guess there would be three possible entry points for this challenge:

What film is the line from? Who is the actor who said it? Name of the band who performed the song?

And I’ll drop a visual clue that should make this the first two questions easy as pie:

This is the clue

Gonna stay with the same movie as the first two rounds. So far, I don’t think anyone has mentioned the title of this immortal film of the fairways.

The quote:

“You will get nothing, and like it”

Who said it and to whom? / What’s the film?

So first off let’s get this thing going. ds106 assignment on quotes.

Guess the source and/or complete this quote:

“Henshin-a-go-go, baby!”

From that I was musing about the possibilities and potential of quotes, which I personally believe is a strong indicator of one’s interests and influences (and just for the record when I say “quotes” any text-based line is basically good for the taking; catchphrases, taglines, memes et al).

The Shadow knows.

The kinds of quotes people know and can identify with will differ from person to person, and there’s also the possibility of being taken down memory lane when hearing a quote from years ago that never would have come up otherwise. In fact, when speaking of the surprising reactions and correct responses to my quotes one case that comes up in particular would be my #5, which I personally thought was kind of an obscure reference that perhaps nobody would be able to identify. Nevertheless several people did and now I know that one of my favourite movies is actually a lot more recognised than I thought, which is nothing if not cool.

“Yes sir, I’m your pal.”

Same move as Round 1. This quote was both in the film and TV version.

Who said it, and to whom? / What line came either before or after? / What’s the film?

For those wishing to get in on the fun of making your very 1qad posts while earning #ds106 assignment street cred head on over to Mome’s assignment description.

I’m getting so frustrated with having no clue about the film references that Mome keeps dropping in his awesome 1 Quote a Day assignment, that I’ve decided to take matters in to my own hands. I imagine the ones I come with will stump the youngsters.

Anyhow, here goes.

This first quote is actually not the original but appeared in the TV version of the famous film because the original line couldn’t be said on prime time back then. Here it is:

“We’re all gonna take a shower”

What is the film? or Who is the actor who said it? or What was the original quote?
