TV alert: Cool Hand Luke

On AMC now.

 

If someone can get the famous Strother Martin quote correct, word for word, in the next 10 minutes -- WITHOUT A GOOGLE (honor system, please -- I'll buy him or her a beer. You know the quote I'm talking about: the one after the whipping.

Odds are you don't know it verbatim, though. No one ever gets it right, just like nobody can eat 50 eggs.

 

Close, but no.

 

"what we've got here is a failure to communicate."

also on e! right now: "rain man."

hoffman was great. but i'd argue cruise may have had the tougher role, playing of him. cruise at his best. 8) 8) 8)

 

More like: "Whuaat weeee'veee goout heeeaaare .... is .... a faiylua ... to ... commmmunnicatte."

 

No to all of the above.

 

my bad.

"what we've got here is failure to communicate."

mrs. shockey corrected me on the no "a."

 

Yep, and I think I owe you a beer. You just made it under the wire.

Or do I owe her?

 

Only if you fucked her on credit ... /afroman

 

Side note: Paul Newman says "a failure to communicate" when he mimics the Captain just before the movie ends.

 

What we got here is failure to communicate
Some men you just can't reach
So you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it

(least I think that's how it goes)
