We love movies. We especially love certain movies. And both of us happen to be THOSE people; the people who can carry on an entire conversation using only movie lines. It's one of the reasons I think we were meant to be. It's one of those quirky things that define us. If you know us, and you're around us for even a short amount of time, you can be sure you'll hear at least one movie line.
For some people this is irritating. I guess it's the feeling of being left out. I can only equate it to how it feels when you are standing with a group of people and someone tells a joke, everyone starts laughing and you're the only one who doesn't get it. Maybe they don't know the movie. Maybe they don't get why we said that particular line at that particular time. Either way, we're sorry, but we're not changing!
Here's what irritates us: when someone tries to join in BUT gets the line wrong. It's not totally off, they probably got extremely close, but it only takes one word, or the wrong inflection, to drive us nuts.
So the next time you are with us and someone is debating whether or not they could eat the Fat Teddy Five Pound Burger at Chubby Ray's in Louisville, Kentucky and one of us says, "Ain't nobody e'er ate fitty eggs," try to figure out the movie, don't look at us with a quizzical expression.

By the way, here's a picture of that burger
