Do you know recognise these quotes?

"Can you get me off the hook? For old times' sake? And "Can't do it Sally?"

I ask because we were discussing famous film quotes and though the film itself is very famous, I think these are quotes from a scene that many casual filmgoers as opposed to fans, wouldn't necessarily recognise as being from the movie? Just curious to know how many people know it?

And yes, we probably need a life.

That should say movie quotes sorry.

Nope

WeAreTheHeroes · 26/02/2023 20:22

They're certainly not, "You're damn right I ordered the code red!"

Is Sally short for Salvatore?

See. I'd put them in that category personally. I don't think that one is quite up there with"You can't handle the truth!"

And now I want to watch A Few Good Men.

I can't type at all today.

Carlo Rizzi, Connie's husband?

No but you've got the right movie which is the important thing.

It does seem though that it isn't one of the better known quotes as I suspected.

The first two are very well known phrases. not from specific films, the last I guess is new and from a film.

Tessio to Tom Hagan in The Godfather.

LookItsMeAgain · 26/02/2023 20:44

You complete me.

And

You had me at hello

Both from the same movie.

SquitMcJit · 26/02/2023 20:44

Yes, it’s Sal Tessio in The Godfather films - asking Tom Hagen (?) not to assassinate him for betraying the family. Can’t remember if it is I or II.

BooCrew · 26/02/2023 20:48

Not into films, didn't know the phrases, haven't seen the films.

Correct. (It's from the first movie)

Thanks all for responding. We were discussing the most iconic quotes from certain movies and got into a debate over it those are well known ones or not.
