I'm forwarding this to the 2007 and 2008 Palindrome lists. It's not related to either Hunt (and there's no "final answer" you're looking for), but I thought you might enjoy.

It's been a long while, but it's time for another quote quiz! Below is dialogue from 50 movies (all released theatrically in the US). How many can you identify?
As you'll see, character names have often been removed from dialogue.
Now, it's possible that many of these can be solved with online search capabilities. That takes the challenge out of it, don't you think?
Feel free to pass this along, and to send me your answers either alone, or in groups! (There's no prize, though, it's just for fun.)

Rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.
