Four out of Thirteen

[ellyssian]

Well, time to tally up and show the results for this week's Monday's Thirteen...

Four out of thirteen quotes were correctly picked out of the lineup, evenly split between those making a second showing and those up for the first time. To be sure, #2 and #3 I considered a bit of a challenge: the former occurring only on the director's cut, the latter being a children's animated film with religious, erm, leanings. To put it mildly. I'm surprised a lot more of you didn't get #9 - I thought that would go quicker than it did.

In the next round, there will be six quotes up for a third round - I thought a few of them were quite obvious, actually, as I know a number of you watch some of those films repeatedly. Make sure to take advantage of the hints for those six in Wednesday's Little Helper.

Three of the quotes will return for their second round, and there will be four new quotes that I'll be selecting and readying in a few minutes. I'll be posting the next edition of Monday's Thirteen on, surprisingly enough, Monday, so watch for it then!

Double Quotes:
2. "We meet back here in twice 500 beats of a bluebird's heart. " "Do you know what I think? I think we should add a couple more hundred breaths of a-- "-- Legend, guessed, with some initial indecision, by malinaldarose

3. "WHAT was THAT? Oh! There's a bird! Let's jump on him! Maybe he'll fly us wherever we want to go! Maybe he'll serve us drinks! And little bags of peanuts! Get your own ride! " -- VeggieTales - Lord of the Beans, guessed by aequitaslevitas

Single Quotes:
9. "And that was only one of the many occasions on which I met my death, an experience which I don't hesitate strongly to recommend." -- The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, guessed by aequitaslevitas, chris_walsh

13. "While my father prayed earnestly to God to protect commerce, I would offer up secretly the proudest prayer a boy could think of: Lord, make me a great composer. Let me celebrate Your glory through music and be celebrated myself. Make me famous through the world, dear God. Make me immortal. After I die, let people speak my name forever with love for what I wrote. In return, I will give You my chastity, my industry, my deepest humility, every hour of my life, Amen." -- Amadeus, guessed by wyyknot, tewok, blackbyrd2

i suck at movie quotes. I am totally not one of those people that can quote from movies or even song lyrics. But yet, I know some of the most obscure trivia out there.

Well, you'll just have to watch lots of movies and practice, practice, practice! =)

Yeah, I was afraid that one was too obvious... then again, I thought that about a couple of the ones that are going to be in for the third week running... =)
