WWII setting. Fact-based story.

[Emgee66]

That narrows it down neatly:

 

Saving.......

 

Private Ryan: Hell, these guys deserve to go home as much as I do. They've fought just as hard.

 

Captain Miller: Is that what I'm supposed to tell your mother when she gets another folded American flag?

You are correct; well done, you have the floor.

[Emgee66]

flashback42, want to take this?

[flashback42]

Uhh, the way it reads on my screen, this is Mr. Sixes' thread.

[Emgee66]

Your screen is right and so are you. (Must learn to read someday)

 

On that note: Mr6666, anything lined up?

[flashback42]

Borgnine to Tracy in Bad Day at Black Rock

???

[flashback42]

Actually, I found that by accident. I was researching stuff about Mike Fink the river pirate, who was also said to make that claim. Next up:

 

Will Smith -- Final Jeoprady

Context: conversation about a giant cockroach.

[Emgee66]

Kay: I don't suppose you know what kind of alien life form leaves a green spectral trail and craves sugar water, do you?

 

Jay: Uh, wait, that was on "Final Jeopardy!" last night.

patsydahling;

If you have named the site of the quote mentioned, the practice on this thread is to then give the quote itself. Note the earlier entries here.

BTW, welcome to the Boards. You have already made some spot-on contributions.

Very sorry. I took a stab at Gene Kelly because of Dig Dig Dig for Your Dinner. Do not have an actual quote with word "groceries."

 

I don't want to sound like I'm preachin' a sermon,

But I've heard people say:

The early bird catches the worm;

'N there's a lot of good logic in that old cliche.

There are certain obligations you just can't shirk,

You've got to put the heat on to make the kettle perk;

And if you want it to be a good day,

You've got to do a good day's work.

 

Chorus 1:

 

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner,

Nothin's what you get for free.

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner,

Never was a money tree.

And furthermore, my friends, I must repeat,

Nobody's livin' down on Easy Street;

And if you want to owe for groceries,

You're gonna get an awful lot of "No sir-ee's."

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for a dollar,

'Taint as simple as you think.

You can't purloin a sirloin

Or the butcher will put you in the clink.

You just can't be a lazy bird,

You've gotta get off o' your twig;

So you can afford your room and your board,

And it's nice to have the price of a "cig."

Say, you've gotta pay the fiddler man

If you want to do a jig.

You've gotta be as busy as a bee

To be a Mister B. I. G.

And if you want some dig-dig-dignity,

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner,

Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.

 

Chorus 2:

 

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner,

Nothin's what you get for free.

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner,

Never was a money tree.

And furthermore, my friends, I must repeat,

Nobody's livin' down on Easy Street;

And if you want to owe for groceries,

You're gonna get an awful lot of "No sir-ee's."

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for a dollar,

'Taint as simple as you think.

You can't purloin a sirloin

Or the butcher will put you in the clink.

You just can't be a lazy bird,

You've gotta get off o' your twig;

So you can afford your room and your board,

And it's nice to have the price of a "cig."

Say, you've gotta pay the fiddler man

If you want to do a jig.

You've gotta be as busy as a bee

To be a Mister B. I. G.

And if you want some dig-dig-dignity,

You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner,

Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.

(Spoken:) Right!

 

 

I will not publish an answer without the actual quote in the future.

 

Mea culpa

Dana Andrews - poor choice of friends

[patsydahling]

Hint

 

He annoyed people by playing a game as a tactic in his work

[patsydahling]

Another hint:

 

He also annoyed certain other characters with his use of low brow terms for women, like "dames" and "dolls" including the one who got a fur out of him when he was in love.
