Good morning kids! Welcome to the second installment of Top 5 Tuesday. Today we ask the question, "What are your top 5 favourite movie quotes?" The movie's genre does not matter, although mine all seem to follow a comedic pattern. The quote may also stand alone from the movie - ie: they don't have to be quotes from your all-time fave movies, just damn good quotes! I use all of mine in daily conversation. So answer in your blog or comment here or both - just have fun!
Top 5 Favourite Movie Quotes
- "I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a girl he met in a restaurant who then turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist only to lose her to her childhood lover who she’d last seen on a deserted island and who turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French Underground." – Nick, Top Secret!

- "So we finish 18 and he's going to stiff me. So I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey. How about a little something, you know, for the effort?' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money.
