A movie made from movies

I want to create a story, based only on quotes from movies. I've tried this a couple times with friends as I love movie quotes, but tend to get tapped out after awhile, not having the breadth of exposure as my Mefi brethren. Out of the pure enjoyment of it, how about a helping hand?

Some thoughts that came to me:
1. A maximum of two quotes from any response (to give everyone a chance and make the story more interesting)
2. You can use a response to change the scene, setting, etc (basically, the narrator) - this does not need to be a movie quote, though kudos if it is!

I'll start:

Are we supposed to continue a conversation with you, or just give you good lines to use?

The Something Awful Forums do this every once and awhile. It's usually called something like "Let's talk with film quotes!" or "Conversations with movie screenshots!"

A popular combination is "Bitches come." from XXX and "Bitches leave." from RoboCop.

If you're looking for good lines in general (though based on your example, it doesn't look like you are), you can't go wrong with Mamet.

Response by poster: Yea.. I may have done this in the wrong spot ;)

Where should I put this? I'd love to see a story created based on quotes from other people. Helps me expand my quote knowledge
