This line is not from a sports film, by the way.
Thanks for indulging me.
My question was out of turn, sorry everyone. (The answer to my question is "The Verdict". James Mason was explaining his courtroom tactics to a group of young attorneys.)

Nope, I've seen the movie too. It was actually a bit scary, partly due to the overtly unreal nature of the situation, which sneaks up on the viewer.
Speaker 1: "Why did you contact us?"
Speaker 2: "You contacted us. We were just listening."
Nope. If you stop to think about it, this line really couldn't be "The Thing," since the "thing" was a single creature who was totally hostile and wouldn't have engaged in such a discussion.

Speaker 1: What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something.

Here's an oldie and a fave of mine....
"God! God! Who's hand was I holding?"
Miss Parker, it's been more than two weeks. Please post your clue.
Brandon, I see you are just as testy on the gaming threads as you are on the political threads.

May I ask if you find it inappropriate, when someone has failed to take his or her turn in a game for more than two weeks, to politely mention it?
Seize the bull by the horns, Brandon. YOU take the turn.
Maybe something happened to Parker. She might be in prison or hospitalized. Sometimes you just have to move on.
Start with a new topic, Brandon. When Parker returns we will explain to her what happened.
