Quote Game 2

[The Mad Collector]

Oops I forgot about this, thanks for the reminder Rath

"You know," said Cohen slowly, "I can remember when a man could ride all the way from here to the Blade Mountains and never see another living thing." He fingered his sword. "At least, not for very long."

 

[RathDarkblade]

Hmm... what, no guesses yet? I'm pretty sure I know where this one is from, so I'll sit this one out for a day or two.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

The Last Hero?

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Or Troll Bridge.

 

[The Mad Collector]

The Last Hero?

No

Or Troll Bridge.

Yes, over to you Sister Jennifer

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Huzzah!

'Brother Doorkeeper?'
METAPHORICALLY.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Yay! :dance: This is one of my favourite scenes from Guards! Guards!. Here's what happens:

Spoiler

The meeting place of the Ancient and Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night has just been flamed to bits by the dragon. (Brother Fingers, aka Bengy "Lightfoot" Boggis, a capo de monty at the Thieves' Guild according to Sgt Colon, was sent out for pizza - so he missed being flamed to bits, and is just very, very scared). One of the dead Brethren - Brother Watchtower, if I'm not mistaken - reaches out to Death and ventures, "Is that you, Brother Doorkeeper?" And Death replies, "METAPOHRICALLY".

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Dat's der bunny.

 

[RathDarkblade]

"I do apologise for this," said the small highwayman. "I find myself a little short."

Witches Abroad

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nope, not WA - but on the right track.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Lords and Ladies?

 

[RathDarkblade]

Yes it is! Well done, SJ. Your turn!

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Groovy. Someone else can have the go

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Yeah alright ya slack arse, I'll go...

I HAVE COME TO GET YOU, YOU TERRIBLE ACTOR.

 

[MrsWizzard]

Wyrd Sisters?

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn, and cauldron bubble!

You are correct.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Argh! :doh: I knew this one, but just waited too long. This is, of course, Death backstage - just before he tells the actor to FORGET. A few minutes from now, Death would be tap-dancing...

Incidentally, I love the BBC adaptations of Terry's books. They're always done with such care and detail. Obviously it's impossible to cram every single gag, observation etc. in, but that's what the books are for...

 

[MrsWizzard]

Oh I thought I posted one here already. Oops!

"Have you by any chance heard the Word of Om?"
"Which one? 'Fire?'" said Nanny Ogg.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Nanny's reaction gave it away to me. I think I know where this one is from (within maybe a 0.1% margin of error), so I'll play fair, give everyone else a chance and won't jump in just yet.
