"Hello, hello.

Yes, hello to me and hello to you. I am the Crap-on and I live in a zoo. And it's such a friendly old zoo and such fun, you will enjoy it, yes you will, everyone. Every two will enjoy it, every three, every four. So, come visit my zoo and curl up on the floor.

Or, if you prefer to curl up in a dumpster....There stewed with old garbage, I won't say you can't, sir. Just lean back, relax in that smelly old bin and enjoy our show.
"

If anyone guesses this, I'll give you a freaking medal.

"No matter how far you walk, it's always the same. It just goes on and on. But in spite of this, why am I so driven to find it? I hear someone...calling to me..."

I didn't think this was an obscure reference until I quoted this line recently and confused EVERYONE. If you get this, you will restore my faith in humanity (or possibly just Google, if you cheat).
...Uh...Castaway? If it's not that, it sounds like a Randall Munroe line.

In Bruges? I think... Ralph Fiennes character said it, no?

I know the clip

A man starts beating a phone I think, a woman tells him to stop, saying it's an inanimate object.

Then the man yells back "you're an inanimate object".

Is that it?
Well, I feel vindicated that two out of three of you got the reference (and have simultaneously restored my faith in humanity while earning cookies), but it makes me sad that only one of you correctly identified In Bruges by name. While my faith in humanity is restored, it still saddens me to know that only 33.33% of responding Escapists can correctly place this quote in context--a statistic which absolutely must be improved. Go watch In Bruges. All of you. NOW.

That zombie movie thing. Dammit, I remember seeing a clip of it months ago on the Escapist...
Wrong. I might have said it wrong though, so I won't hold it against you. I can't find a clip of how it actually goes. But I am thinking for the time being, I said it right.

Abby...
Abby... Normal.
I'm almost sure that was the name.

God, that's my favorite movie of all time.

Also, same film: PUT... THE CANDLE... BACK.

Well, since my last one seems to not have posted, I have another one. One from a film I doubt many people here have seen, despite it being very recent.

"I don't know how to tell you this... But there's a Chinese family in our bathroom."

EDIT: Whoops, there it is. Ah well, I've got two out now.
