Stupendous Quotes Quiz - Sean Connery

Dear quiz-answer friends,

This week's Stupendous Quotes Quiz is devoted solely to Sean Connery, and his fabulous voice. Does he not make you swoony?? Regardless, the man has been making movies for so many decades that we had quite a few quote choices to make and it was great fun!! Dust off your favorite Sean Connery movie memories and tell us the character and movie from the below quotes.

Contest ends Thursday afternoonish.

Hugs to you all!
Princesses Jana and Jami

1. Sir Donald Munger: Tell me, Commander, how far does your expertise extend into the field of diamonds?
(Sean Connery): Well, hardest substance found in nature, they cut glass, suggest marriages, I suppose it replaced the dog as the girl's best friend. That's about it.
M: Refreshing to hear that there is one subject you're not an expert on!

2.Colonel Vogel: What does the diary tell you that it doesn't tell us?
[He tries to slap him again until our hero grabs hold of Colonel Vogel's hand]
(Sean Connery): It tells me that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them.

3. (Sean Connery): I miss the peace of fishing like when I was a boy. Forty years I've been at sea. A war at sea. A war with no battles, no monuments... only casualties. I widowed her the day I married her. My wife died while I was at sea, you know.

4. Bowen: [stuck in _____'s mouth, sees an arm stuck in the teeth and plucks it out] Oh, good lord! Sir Egglemore!
[throws the arm out behind him]
(Sean Connery): Oh, thank you very much. It's been stuck down there for months. Can you move your buttocks off my tongue?
Bowen: Why should you be comfortable? My armor is rusting in your drool and your breath, is absolutely foul!
(Sean Connery): Well, what do you expect, with an old knight rotting between my molars?

5.(Sean Connery): I will not allow this wedding to proceed.
Robin of Locksley: My Lord!
(Sean Connery): Unless I'm allowed to give the bride away. You look radiant, cousin.

6. (Sean Connery): No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!

7. [after Connor has called (Sean Connery) a "haggis"]
(Sean Connery): : Haggis? What is haggis?
Connor MacLeod: Sheep's stomach, stuffed with meat and barley.
(Sean Connery): : And what do you do with it?
Connor MacLeod: You eat it.
(Sean Connery): : How revolting!

8. [after Mason has killed a Marine, the corpse's foot twitches]
Stanley Goodspeed: You've been around a lot of corpses. Is that normal?
(Sean Connery): What, the feet thing?
Stanley Goodspeed: Yeah, the feet thing.
(Sean Connery): Yeah, it happens.
Stanley Goodspeed: Well I'm having a hard time concentrating. Can you do something about it?
(Sean Connery): Like what, kill him again?

9. (Sean Connery): : Now, would you like to learn to shoot?
Tom Sawyer: I can already.
(Sean Connery): Oh, I saw. Very American. Fire enough bullets and hope to hit the target.

10. (Sean Connery): May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.

Ok, I know only a couple of these. I have heard just about all of them but I have no idea what they are from. I'll leave it to someone else.

I posted on Princess Jami's site, but I'll post here, too:

3: The Hunt for Red October
5: Robin and Marian (wasn't Audrey Hepburn in this?)
6: Finding Forester
10: The Untouchables

I have to admit it's been a long time since I've seen some of these, so I'm kind of, sorta of sure, but not quite . . . How's that for commitment? LOL

I'm with Amy. I think the only movie I can honestly remember him was The Highlander.

Although, if you ever do quotes from the stage production of The Scarlet Pimpernel, we are still saying:

"It DO shimmer so!"

A year after seeing it at our local fine arts center . . . LOL

Is that the Kevin Costner "Robin Hood"? I didn't remember Sean Connery being in that movie! I'm going to have to watch it again!
