This post was partially derived in my own head, but there was a major impetus by Red’s “Greatest Comedy Ever Tournament.”
I love quoting comedies. I do it to the point where it borders on becoming a vice.
So naturally, when “The Hangover” lit the world on fire, I managed to learn almost every line only seeing it once (I won’t lie, Facebook helped a lot). Over time, I began to say one particularly memorable quote a little too much.
It’s not a purse; it’s a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Long story short, I said it so much that people had to tell me to shut up and never say it again. So now I quote with a little more discretion.
“Let me start my three part apology by saying that you are a wonderful person with great potential for…”
From Zombieland. That is the thing I quote to the point of attempted murder. Join the club, friend.
Is it really bad (at least in your eyes) that I don’t remember that quote at all?
It’s when they’re in that Arizona Indian-gift shop where they knock everything over, when Jesse Eisenberg spritzes some perfume on Woody Harrelson.
It’s forgiveable.
I’m not sure i’ve gone two days since watching Hangover without saying that exact quote. Almost everytime I see a purse that line pops in my head.
