Yesterday on twitter there was a meme called #calmmovielines. Basically, people would take dramatic or exciting lines from movies and try to make them bland or non sequitor (in 140 characters or less, of course!). I found this to be extremely amusing. Listed below are the ones I came up with. Which is your favorite?
- Donny, kindly refrain from speaking until I finish my train of thought. (The Big Lebowski)
- Show me the financial instruments you intend to provide. (Jerry Maguire)
