Person A: "...the only one worth having. People respect it." Person B: " The medal or the man?"

| Deleted User | Wow, that's a tough one. I disqualify myself since I googled it up. I don't think I've ever seen that one--worth watching?
Instead, I offer a different quote: "Yes. Well, they're probably experts at *building* things, whereas I'm an expert at *blowing them up*, and you can take it from me that one would need a good eight hours to make a decent job on that bridge."

Status : Offline | I enjoyed it. There aren't many World War One epic movies out there. I loved watching the biplanes go at it.
Folks, my quote was from The Blue Max.
I know your quote Speck. I have that movie in my collection, although it's on VHS. I loved that one back in my wargaming days and have the books as well. 8-)

That was a quote from Force 10 from Navarone.

Your's sound very familiar...but I can't quite place it. :-/

| Deleted User | Yeah, wussup with that?
Okay, offering another quote from the same film, getting progressively easier:
"You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really."

Oh, I'm playing, or at least reading the quotes. (Haven't seen nearly enough movies to make a decent guess at most of these though.)

Nope, little hint: he's talking metaphorically about women, not actual horses.
New quote from the same film:
Person A: "I don't like your manners." Person B: "And I'm not crazy about yours. I didn't ask to see you. I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings."
