And so it is that we embark on another adventure of Q and A silliness. This time we will be pulling out the classics. Well, not all of them, there’s no way we have time for that here. (But that does give me an idea of another spin-off…)
Confused? The first time stopping by the kingdom on a Friday? The rest of the movie quoting madness can be found here.
Over the years I’ve incorporated a lot of movie dialogue into my day-to-day lingo. And what better place to pull quotes from than those films considered the best of the best.

– Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) – North by Northwest
Q: What do you say when someone asks what you are lugging around in your purse, backpack, or fanny-pack?
A: “Survival kit contents check.

Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
– Major T.J. “King” Kong (Slim Pickens) – Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
(That’s right, fanny-pack, you know you have one. Don’t be embarrased. They are indecently brilliant!)
(Did you see what I did there?)
