My family loves to quote movies. We can even be in the middle of a horrible situation, and come up with a quote so fitting that it will have us all laughing out loud. :D There are so many hilarious one-liners out there that it is astounding! At times, my brother and I have almost had an entire conversation comprised solely of movie quotes.

It was my pondering on this last point that gave me an idea: could one write a continued story made up entirely of movie quotes? Is it possible?

So here is the game for you: after every post, quote a part from a movie that you think the previous quote could move onto - whether it is a piece of narration, a piece from a character, animal, inanimate object, anything - and see if we can write a story using only movies. :D Make sure you say where the movie is from so that people who haven't seen it know what it is. I'll start you off:

Brilliant idea, Bushy!

Is it alright if I use a longer quote?

Will you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh? Well, you'll never believe this, but that llama you're looking at was once a human being. And not just any human being. That guy was an emperor. A rich, powerful ball of charisma. Oh, yeah! This is his story. Well, actually, my story. That's right... I'm that llama. The name is Kuzco... Emperor Kuzco.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Okay, so some of you know I have an obsession with a certain movie...

Quote:
Riley Poole: [after Ben decides to steal the Declaration] This is... huge.
[Beat]
Riley Poole: Prison... huge. You are gonna go to prison. You know that, right?
Benjamin Franklin Gates: Yeah, probably.
Riley Poole: Well... that would... bother most people.


Quote:
Riley Poole: I have to settle with 1%. One stinkin' percent. Half of one percent, actually.
[he jumps into a Ferrari 360 Spider]
Ben Gates: I'm sorry for your suffering, Riley.



Also, I have this thing for Prince of Persia. :D

Quote:

Sheik Amar: Tch, secret government killing activity! That's why I don't pay taxes!


Quote:
King Sharaman: [to Dastan] The princess of Alamut will be your wife!
[Dastan looks shocked]
King Sharaman: What say you, Dastan?
Prince Dastan: Uh...
King Sharaman: [to those inside the palace after suggesting Dastan should marry Tamina] He plunges into a hundred foes without thought, but before marriage he stands frozen with fear! And there are those who say he is not yet wise!
[the Persians laugh]
Prince Dastan: [quietly to Bis] I need a drink.
