Friday movie quote quiz, in honor of the $500 million dollar jackpot, has a theme.  Good luck!

  1. How much… does forty-eight, fifty dollar win tickets… on the three horse… in the seventh race… pay?
  2. Mr. Clemens.  Give me ten thousand dollars more.
  3. You’re right, Teddy.  The Ace didn’t help me.
  4. Now I know why they call you “Fast Eddie”.
  5. Daddy, I got cider in my ear!
  6. See, the thing is, you guys look at me, you see the backwards hat, the grey socks, the funky outfit and you say, “Now this guy’s a chump”, right?
  7. You took my queen, Ray… I’ve got a ten, I needed that queen!
  8. I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
  9. Come on, Nicky, come home.  Just come home.  Home!  Talk to me.

  1. Am I the only one who’s never realized that Welsh is just rot13’d English?

  3. 8 and 10, but only because they’re bleeding obvious.

    • Demerits for not getting #2. I expect better from you, Mr. Schilling.

      • I haven’t seen that since it first came out. I’ll grant you, I should have gotten 4 (Gubhtu vg zvtug unir orra fnvq ol Cvcre Ynhevr.).

  4. I’ve seen 2, 5, 7, and 8. (Edit: and 9! I loved 9!)

    I’m going to guess the rest.

          • I must be thinking of a different movie entirely. I’m thinking of a movie with Vince Vaughn.

    • Oh, if you’ve never seen 1. You gotta see 1. I’ll bring it to Vegas.

  5. I got 6, 7 and 8, but none of the others off the top of my head. And one movie not of those three has got to be in there, but I don’t know which it is.

      • Dammit man, you’re making me crazy. I can’t figure out which movie.
