TV Quote Game

[Joyce]

Here’s my quote:

Person 1: Listen, Person 2, how far down was she? How many feet?

Person 2: Person 1, in navy circles, we don't say "feet". We say "fathoms".

Person 1: All right, how many fathoms?

Person 2: Oh I don't know, about 15 feet.

[Scott]

It was...Gilligan's Island!

What episode was that? They found a boat, right, but what did they do with it?

[Joyce]

That’s it, Scott. You’re right.

They found a sunken ship that had silent film, camera and costumes aboard.

You’re up.

[Scott]

Ah, yes. That's right. After that, when anyone asked why they brought so many clothes on a three hour tour, they were told it might be from the silent film stuff.

Okay, here's a quote. From a show that's been off the air for years.

Here's a quote I posted on one of these message boards many years ago:

"Listen, Nancy Drool and Hardly Boy, it's impossible for your mother to have fallen. That would mean that at some point, she would have to have been standing."

[Shane]

Married...with Children. Al Bundy. The man, the myth, the legend.

Been watching Sons of Anarchy recently, which also stars Katey Sagal. Gemma Teller is a somewhat...uh...grittier character than Peg Bundy.

[Scott]

Yep, you got it, Shane!

[Shane]

New quote:

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

[JD]

I feel like I ought to know this, but I don't.

So I'll just guess WKRP in Cincinnati.  

[Shane]

You've got it, JD.

[JD]

I was right?  Holy cow, LOL!

Okay, here's a quote:

Person One: What are you doing?

Person Two: I'm getting dressed.

Person One: Why?

Person Two: Because when I go outside naked, people throw garbage at me.

[Joyce]

This sounds so darned familiar! But I don’t have any idea.

[Scott]

I don't know. The Goldbergs?

[JD]

No, it's not that, Scott.

[Scott]

Well, I googled it and they showed a picture from the show, but I have no idea what it was.

[JD]

 Well, by the time I checked back here I forgot what it was I'd picked -- but I'm fairly sure it was from Friends.  

So here's an easy one for you.

“I’ve got a soft spot for Klinger. He looks a little like my son, and he dresses a lot like my wife.”

[Shane]

M*A*S*H

[JD]

And of course you are right; it is M*A*S*H.  

[Shane]

New quote:

Character 1: Character 2, why are those like yourself, who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life on this Earth, not dissuaded by all the evidence to the contrary?
Character 2: Because, all the evidence to the contrary is not entirely dissuasive.
Character 1: Precisely.
Character 2: They're here, aren't they?
Character 1: Character 2, they've been here for a long, long time.

[Shane]

Another quote. This was a voice-over.

I have lived with a fragile faith, built on vague memories from an experience that I could neither prove nor explain. When I was twelve, my sister was taken from me, taken from our home by a force that I came to believe was extraterrestrial. This belief sustained me, fueling a quest for truths that were as elusive as the memory itself. To believe as passionately as I did was not without sacrifice, but I always accepted the risks - to my career, my reputation, my relationships, to life itself.

[Scott]

All I can think of is that show I never watched. The name of which escapes me. Oh, yes, The X Files.

[Shane]

You've got it, Scott.

[Scott]

Okay. Here's a quote, A man talks with his elderly father:

"Doctor gave me a relaxation cassette. When my blood pressure gets too high, the man on the tape tells me to say: 'SERENITY NOW'"

"Are you supposed to yell it?"

"The man on the tape wasn't specific."

[Scott]

From the same show. Not the same episode, but the same show:

"He works out. He’s vibrant. You’d really like him."

"Why do people always say that? I hate everybody. Why would I like him?"

[Shane]

Ah yes. Serenity now, insanity later. It's Seinfeld.

[Scott]

Yep---you got it, Shane!
