A is for Ahhhnold
November 8, 2015 7:42 AM Subscribe
This Christmas, I’m making an ABC-book for my very first, brand new (6 mo) niece. Her parents (and my family) are big Arnold Schwarzenegger fans. We especially love Terminator, T2, Predator, Kindergarten Cop and Total Recall. I need help with some ABC Arnold-related quotes.
I’ve been puttering along, finding great phrases or words to use in the book – but I am still stuck on a few. Can you help? The only condition is that it’s a moderately-known movie quote with Arnold inflection impact.
A is for – Arnold
B is for – “I’ll be Back”
C is for – “Chill Out, Dickwad” (If you can think of a better one for this – please do. I have no problem with “dickwad” being taught to my niece, but some people would)
D is for “Who is your Daddy, and What does he Do?”
E is for - ???? (I was thinking “eeeuuuaaahhhghggghh” with Schwarzenegger inflection)
F is for “Ferret”
G is for “Get to the Chopper!”
H is for - ??? Headache?
I is for “I’m a cop, you Idiot!”
J is for “Jingle All the Way”
K is for “Detective John Kimble”
L is for “I LIKE you, Cindy”
M is for - ????
N is for “Now this is the plan: Get your ass to Mars” (maybe I can combine M and N)
O is for – “Old, not Obsolete”
P is for “Party Pooper”
Q is for “Now I’m Quaid. Douglas Quaid”
R is for - ???
S is for “STHAP IT!”
T is for “It’s not a tumor… it’s not a tumor… at all”
U is for (??? My friend offered “U mean U eat Udda People’s Lunches?!?!”
V is for “Hasta la Vista, Baby”
W is for “Days, Nights, Weekends, Holidays”
X is for (I was thinking about just showing some kind of x-ray with Arnold’s head a la Total Recall)
Y is for “Come with me if YOU want to Live”
Z is for ???
Any help, suggestions or additions are welcome.

You could move Hasta la Vista to H, and make V be vodka.

And bonus points if you have any tips on art design, LOL.
I'm planning on using a hard-cover spiral-bound watercolor book with very thick, stiff paper.
Man, I need to re-watch all the movies...

I thought there was a scene of Conan saying "Magic only comes from EEEvil", with "evil" heavily stressed, but I can't find it. It'd make a fine E.
