Ten quotes. Guess (or name) the movie. No Googling! 1) Character #1: Hey what happened to you, some kind of initiation? Character #2: We had an accident. We fell into yellow, OK? -- Both serendipitygirl and red_silk_robe understand that It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World 2) Please, baby, you are making a German spectacle of yourself. -- evil_egg rides upon the Blazin'...
