Are you heading back in the theatres yet? Not me. But as a reminder of the goodle days, here are quotes from 25 crime movies. As before, they are in alphabetical order by titles. Purely by coincidence, three actors get two quotes each. The answers are below. Good luck!
1. Or maybe she didn't die. Maybe she just moved to the suburbs - I always confuse those two.
2. Can I trust you? Can I trust you? Can I trust you?
3. I loved Al Lipshitz more than I could possibly say. He was a real artistic guy, sensitive, a painter. But he was always trying to find himself. He'd go out every night looking for himself. And on the way, he found Ruth. Gladys. Rosemary. And Irving. I guess you could say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive. And I saw him dead.
4. One of us had to die. With me, it tends to be the other guy.
5. -What are you going to do?
-I'm going to sit in the car and whistle "Rule Britannia".

- Maybe - if you're in touch with the spirit world.

15. -Can you be any more of a condescending ass?

16. In my book "brave" rhymes with "stupid."
17. Go ahead. Jump. He never loved you, so why go on living? Jump and it will all be over.
18. You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.
19. The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook
20. I studied on killing you. Studied on it quite a bit. But I reckon there ain't no need for it if all you're gonna do is sit there in that chair. You'll be dead soon enough and the world 'll be shut of ya. You ought not killed my little brother, he should've had a chance to grow up. He woulda had fun some time.

22. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.

23. We're going to let 'em keep the goddamn subway train. Hell, we've got plenty of them; we'll never even miss it.
