Okay, Watercourse Way's recent Porky's reference reminded me of a game I used to play at this really boring job...the Great Quote game.
The rules are simple...one person throws out a movie quote that is somewhat topical, and the next person names the movie, and then adds their own quote. Ideally, the quotes should at least be tangentially connected. Same movie, same actor in a different movie, or same train of thought.
The prize? Well, back in the day the prize was just the momentary alleviation of boredom, but I suggest rep be awarded for particularly great but obscure quotes.
To start....the title of this thread.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Ladies and gentlemen, you are such a wonderful crowd, we'd like to play a little tune for you. It's one of my personal favorites and I'd like to dedicate it to a young man who doesn't think he's seen anything good today - Cameron Frye, this one's for you.

Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!

Love that movie
"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."

Is this from "Spinal Tap?"

You got it!
Here's one from the same cast
"...and I wanted to spend all of it as a woman. I came to a realization that I was - and am - a blonde, female folk singer trapped in the body of a bald, male folk singer and I had to LET ME OUT or I WOULD DIE."

All I'm saying is, have it there, have it there, don't shove it down people's throat. I don't run around going, "I'm a gentile, look at my foreskin!" I don't shove it down your throat, because I don't care

Please don't red chiclet me for restating the rules...
1) Qoute gets posted
2) Somebody names the movie that it is from and posts another quote that is somehow related to the preceding post.
3) Somebody else guesses where that post is from and, in turn, adds one to the list for us to guess that is somehow related to the one just guessed.
4) Rinse and repeat
Anybody can throw funny quotes out there and say where they're from. Let's exercise our noodles today!
Using the quote above even though I know where it is from...
Hmmm...that was from Sling Blade. OK guess where this is from...
"Look, I've boned a lot of fat chicks in my time, sure. But, as far back as I can remember, I've never fornicated anybody."
Whoever gets it posts the next one. There's nothing said to keep us from having multiple lines going, but it's a guessing game!
Have fun!

Question...but do we post the name of the movie if we guessed it? Then start fresh ( but relating to the movie or quote) with a new quote? That was my interpretation of the OP.

Say where it came from and then post a new quote that is somehow related** to the one you just guessed
**same actor in different movie, different actor in same movie, different movie by same director, etc...
