About the movie: Thornton Wilder's tale of a matchmaker who desires the man she's supposed to be pairing with another woman.

1.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Reese Feldman: You know a lot about golf. Huggy Bear: I know even more about grass.
b.		The Doctor: Now, if we sold one warhead on the black market, I could continue my research. Destro: [Interrupts] I appreciate your thirst for knowledge, Doctor, but this world is messy enough. No. What it needs is unification, leadership. It has to be taken out of chaos by someone with complete control. Beijing, Moscow, Washington... When these missiles detonate, the world will turn to the most powerful man on the planet. When I'm finished, the money will take care of itself. You'll be able to do all the research you want.
c.		Joe January: What are we doin', out here in th' middle 'o' nowhere, lookin' fer nothin' in the wrong season!
d.		Dolly "Gallagher" Levi: Money, pardon the expression, is like manure. It's not worth a thing unless it's spread around, encouraging young things to grow.

2.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Louise: Should've gone to the police in the beginning, why didn't I? Thelma: You said why before. Louise: What'd I say? Thelma: That nobody would believe us. You know that jerk was really hurting me, and if you hadn't come along when you had he would've hurt me even worse. And probably nothing would've been done with him because I was dancing with him all night and everybody saw it and they'd figure I had it coming. My life would've been ruined a whole lot more than it is now, now I'm having fun. I'll tell you something else, I'm not the least bit sorry that creep is dead, I'm just sorry it was you who did it and not me.
b.		Irene Molloy: Mr. Vandergelder is a substantial man they tell me, and very well-liked. Cornelius Hackl: Oh, he's a lovely man. Irene Molloy: And a large circle of friends. Cornelius Hackl: Oh, yes indeed. Five or six. Barnaby Tucker: Five.
c.		Sandy Stern: Your honor, before we begin our presentation, I would like to make a motion... Judge Larren Lyttle: Make a motion for dismissal? Sandy Stern: Yes, your honor. Judge Larren Lyttle: Sit down counselor. I have reflected on this case at great lengths, ladies and gentlemen. Now I understand the prosecutors have suspicions. Perhaps Mr. Sabbich was there that night. They might be entitled to that inference. And before yesterday, I might have even said that there were reasonable grounds for those suspicions. Now, I'm not so sure. After yesterday, there is no proof of motive here. There is no evidence that there ever was an intimate relationship between the defendant and Ms. Polhemus. There is no proof so far as I am concerned to give a reasonable person grounds to believe that they had carnal relations on the night of her death. In point of fact, there's not one shred of direct proof that Mr. Sabbich murdered Ms. Polhemus. So under these circumstances, I cannot allow this trial to continue. Mr. Sabbich, you are discharged, sir. And I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am that any of this has taken place. Not even the pleasure of seeing you free can make up for this, this disgrace to the cause of justice. I wish you Godspeed. Case dismissed.
d.		The Leopard Queen: [discussing male prisoners] Naturally I'll have to punish them. Not quite sure how. Perhaps I could cut something off. Jane: You can't possibly cut those off. The Leopard Queen: Why not? They do it to horses.

3.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Francis: Well, for one thing, I don't like the fact that you have sex with a geriatric. Heather Davis: Well, how do you think I feel about you going home and seeing your wife every night? Francis: I haven't had sex with my wife in months. Heather Davis: Well, I don't know if that is such a good idea, Francis. Clearly you need the practice.
b.		Dolly "Gallagher" Levi: The very young are almost as smart as the very old, Cornelius. It's in the middle that you get in all the trouble.
c.		Tanya: [after a crack loudly appears in the courtyard after "Money, Money, Money] What happened? Donna: [laughs] Didja feel it? The earth moved, darling. We're falling apart here. [she snatches the bottle of champagne from Tanya's hands and walks off] Donna: Don't think about it. C'mon. Let's go have fun...
d.		Father Brian Kilkenney Finn: I feel like I'm on some bad new Aaron Spelling show - "Melrose Priest."

4.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Ron Burgundy: [while both characters are riding on horses through a cartoon Pleasure Town] I freakin' love you. Veronica Corningstone: I freakin' love you back.
b.		Wyatt Earp (Tombstone city marshal: A man's life... for fifty dollars. I'm gonna give you a chance to make another fifty dolars. Andy Warshaw: I don't want such a chance. Wyatt Earp (Tombstone city marshal: My men will stay back. I'm gonna count one, two, three. You can draw on two - I'll wait to three. If you get me, my boys won't bother you.

5.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Jack Hall: I think we are on the verge of a major climate shift!
b.		Daniel Ciello: Where did you go to school, Paige? Brooks Paige: I went to Harvard. And uh, before Harvard to Andover. Before Andover to St. Bernard's. Daniel Ciello: Ah, St. Bernard's. That's in the 2-3, that's, uh, little blond boys in blazers, right? Aw, shit, Cappalino. My own father can't understand the pressures on cops. What am I supposed to get from St. Bernard's?
c.		Dolly "Gallagher" Levi: [after the two clerks emerge from under a table] Good heavens, who else is under there?
d.		JB Divay: The pendulum represents all that is sacred in life. The rising and setting of the sun, the motion of the waves, the push and pull of tides, all the forces that are beyond our control. It's pure metronomy. We even have our own clocks. The pendulum deep inside, counting down each second until the day we die. Until we enter the pit of eternal damnation. Jason: Obsessing with time like that isn't healthy. It can make you go crazy. JB Divay: You don't know the half of it.

6.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Algy: Do you mean you couldn't love me if I had a different name? Cecily: But what name? Algy: Well... Algy, for instance. Cecily: I might respect you, Earnest, I might admire your character, but I feel that I could never give you my undivided attention.
b.		[Stack finds a purse full of money - the one lost by Mr. Vandergelder, but Stack thinks it was lost by Cornelius] Malachi Stack: You surprised that I want to get rid of this money so quickly? Well, I'll explain it to you: There was a time in my life that my chief interest was picking up money that didn't belong to me. Now, stealin's a weakness. There's some people who say you shouldn't have no weaknesses at all... no vices. But, if a man has no vices he's in great danger of making vices out of his virtues. That's a spectacle. We've all seen 'em. No... no... Nurse one vice to your bosom. Give it the attention that it deserves and let your virtues spring up modestly around it. I took to whiskey - whiskey took to me. Then I discovered one important rule that I'm going to pass on to you..."Never support two weaknesses at the same time." It's your 'combination sinners' that dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute. There's nothing worse than for a man to be a drunkard AND a thief. So, now you know why I want to get rid of this money. I want to keep my mind free to do credit to the whiskey that it deserves. And my last word to you is this: One vice at a time.
c.		Sir James: It's depressing that the words "secret agent" have become synonymous with "sex maniac."
d.		Nick Watson: Alright, welcome back. As much as what just happened seemed like the end of the show, surprise! Tonight it's not. Tonight we'll be catching the flipside for Tim Haas who wandered into an errant snow bank. We'll be broadcasting till the wee hours of the morning. Sit back, relax, and get ready for another dose of Reality. But first, Hannah has the news. Hannah Lorenz: No news, just snow. I'd be surprised if anything gets done in New Hampshire tomorrow. This blizzard stretches all the way into Vermont.

7.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?
a.		Colonel Jonathan "Jack" O'Neil: I'm here in case you succeed.
b.		[Lincoln and Felder are picking jurors for the trial of Matt and Adam Clay] Prosecutor John Felder: Mr. Lincoln should know that the mere fact that a prospective juror knows counsel for the state does not disqualify him. Abe Lincoln: I know that, John. What I'm afraid of is that some of the jurors might NOT know you... and that'd put me at a great disadvantage.
c.		Terra: [showing her fellow Solarbabies a forbidden poetry book] ... You believe all that dog-squeeze they feed us in class? That's not the way it was. Here's how it used to be... [reading] Terra: ..."Thunder rolls distant across the sky, in echo to pale flashes of lightning. The vast cloudscape thickens. The scent of purest water hangs in the air to be savored, before the first large warm drops fall. Then, within seconds, the air is no more, replaced by a vertical curtain of falling water. The land drinks and the earth is refreshed." Could you imagine to see clouds and feel water falling from the sky? Metron: One of the few good things the Protectorate ever did was outlaw FICTION. Where'd you get that, anyhow? Terra: Never mind.
d.		Irene Molloy: I suppose a rich man can dance just as well as a poor one.

8.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Matchmaker (1958)?

c.		Hubert: Someone just said that I'm engaged to marry you. Irene: Well, you are and shut up about it!
d.		Dolly "Gallagher" Levi: Life is never quite interesting enough. You people who come to the movies know that. So I manage things a little. Nature isn't satisfactory, quite, and so it has to be corrected. So I put my hand in here and my hand in there.
