Default Guess The Movie Quote
So why not? As photographers, we are interested in visual - and that often means MOVIES! (I have about 500 in my OCD fueled collection!) Chances are, we have all heard a quote that made us laugh, or think, or go "huh?", or even say to ourselves, "Damn, I wish I would have said that." So how about a "Guess the Quote" thread?

The quote need not be as universally obvious as "You built a Time Machine...out of a DeLorean?", but should be recognizable, or at least familiar, to people who have seen your movie.

When you know an answer, just post the answer and while you are at it, post the next quote. If you need to Google the answer, well, no one here will know, but it just ain't right, so don't.

If a week goes by without anyone getting it, then the poster can either expand the original quote (more text before or after) or re-post a less obscure quote.

So, let's kick it off with my latest sig...

Suddenly someone'll say plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue...

This one is easy, but it's a classic: "we're going to need a bigger boat."

Dr. Strangelove, but I don't recall the character.

If correct,

"She didn't recycle..."

Actually, General Jack D. Ripper - played by Sterling Hayden. Used to be an avatar of mine a couple of years ago. Looks like Tonylong had the last quote, but I do not know the movie.
