5/7. I can't believe they included those 2 incredibly easy movie quotes.

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

6/7 for me.... oh dear

My favourite last words: "Uncle" John Sedgwick to his jittery men at Spotsylvania, May 9, 1864

"I'm ashamed of you, dodging that way. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

That was from Real Genius. Val Kilmer's character, "Chris" said it.

One of the most common sets of last words is likely, "I can do that. Hold my beer."

He was guilty; the jury said so. He was guilty of not staying home. :P
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

Now that everyone has had a shot. The quote was supposedly from Bogart. Since he is said to have died in his sleep from cancer of the esophagus the 'martini' quote is questionable unless that is something one would say before falling asleep.

But there is a small chance that 'famous last words' are recalled more often for color than scrupulous accuracy.

I remember the last words of John Lennon: "Piss off! That doesn't even look like a real gun..."
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
