JackBurley Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Thanks Jr. and Mr. English! I have to admit to being disappointed though. It made such a great story to imagine Andy Williams' disembodied voice emanating from Betty Bacall. Link to post Share on other sites

wordmaster Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 OK, I've done a bit of hunting and come up with this little nugget of dialogue: "Ace, do you think she's really a top government secretary?" "Yeah, I'll bet she holds the world's horizontal short-hand record." [it's not a classic exchange, but I thought it quite amusing...] Link to post Share on other sites
wordmaster Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Just let me know if you need a clue [that could be a problem, though...some people tell me I don't have one...]. Link to post Share on other sites
wordmaster Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Is this too difficult for beginners? Probably so...this is my first try at this. Here's some help: The first speaker is a Major. The second speaker is a Captain. Link to post Share on other sites
wordmaster Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Don't worry - I talk to myself all the time. Is there life out there? More help: They are talking in an airplane, looking at a magazine. Link to post Share on other sites

Rickspade Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 OK, a fairly easy one, but keeping in mind the title of this thread. "I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like 'em myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them long winter evenings." Who said it to whom, and in what movie? Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Oh, I know! I know! But I'm not a beginner, so I won't answer the question. This is a big famous movie. Let's see if any beginners know this one. Link to post Share on other sites

MrWriteLA Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 > Mr. Write, this is suppose to be a thread for > beginners. Stop trying to take it over. I'm not, believe me. Actually, I entered the thread by accident and answered before I realized where I was. Hopefully, my question will be as easy for beginners as the one I answered. Mea culpa.

I went out of my way to think of a fairly easy question, knowing full well that many of the usual posters on these threads would recognize that classic dialogue from The Big Sleep, but many novices might not. Anyway, let's take Mr. Write's word for it that he inadverently wandered onto this thread and supplied the answer. As for me, I think I'll stick to some of the harder Trivia threads, although the posters over there are really good, and I may be out of my league. (Especially the Hitchcock fans!)
