[LSPoorEeyorick]

Inspired by an excellent McSweeney's piece (http://mcsweeneys.net/2008/6/16joseph.html), I thought I'd come up with some movies, in three lines or less.

Harold and Maude:

HAROLD
I love the shock of pretending to commit suicide. Oh, death, I yearn for you.

MAUDE
No! Live! Greet each morning with a breath of fire! Suicide isn't the answer... unless you're 80.

HAROLD
Maude....?


Mary Poppins

MR. BANKS
We rather need someone to take care of our ill-behaved moppets.

MARY
Indeed - but only until you have a mental breakdown and stumble out of the bank on a wooden leg named Smith. Spit-spot.

BERT
'Alo, 'alo! I 'ave a 'orrible cockney accen'... buy a kite, mister?


When Harry Met Sally

SALLY
I hate you, Harry.

Grease

SANDY
I love you Danny, why don't you ditch your friends and clean up your act for me.

DANNY
I'd really rather keep acting like a jerk so I don't look like a pansy....but you're right, love is worth it!

SANDY
Nevermind, you're right. Irresponsible slutiness, here I come!


2001: A Space Odyssey

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Pretty Woman

Vivan: With my beautiful looks, street smarts and automotive knowledge, I could be a Hollywood starlet OR a mechanic, but instead I choose to be a hooker.

Edward: An expensive wardrobe and opera will transform you into my ideal woman, and in exchange for rescuing you from a life of prostitution, I only ask that you teach me how to walk on grass in my bare feet.

Vivian: Deal.

GUSTEAU:
I am a psychotic hallucination you're having, Remy, of a man who knocked up his girl and didn't even know it. But I say, anyone, even a filthy germ riddled rat, can cook!

ANTON EGO:
Yes, anyone can cook. Even a rat. But no sane French person will buy that, so after your restaurant closes, I shall make money off of you as an investor and still no one will know you exist.

[LashStoat]

Dear GC,

How the fvck are you anyway?

Now to business:

The "Kite" that Bert was referring to was cocaine (as in "high as a kite").

Didn't you pick up on the fact that he was the local dealer???

Do you honestly think that they all jumped into a chalk drawing and danced with freakin' penguins???

The closing song was actually an advertisement for the stuff. Mary was lucky she never got done for drug trafficking - the bottomless bag saved her sorry ass.

You Americans crack me up...ummm...make me laugh.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

[Gemini Cricket]

Dear GC,

Still jobless but I hope to change that very soon.
If you know of any sugar daddies in the L.A. area, send 'em my way.

...so let me understand...you want a L.A. sugar daddy cowboy with a six pack that likes Doris Day movies.

Let me consult my little black-sequened book...hmmmm:


Has abs, not rich.
Rich, no abs.
Rich with abs, no Doris Day.
Rich with abs, not gay, likes Doris Day. WTF?
Rich, has abs, gay, likes Doris Day. Damn, respects George Bush.
Rich, has abs, gay, likes Doris Day. Damn, that one's taken.
Sorry dude, I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Love and hugs,

Why are you callin' shenanigans? I was basing my stuff on the concept from McSweeneys, which definitely didn't use actual book quotes... But anybody, of course, can play this game however they like.
