2.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Parallax View (1974)?
a.		Carroll Commission Spokesman: Ladies and gentlemen, you have been invited here today for the official announcement of the inquiry into the death of Senator Charles Carroll. This is an announcement, not a press conference. Therefore, there will be no questions. A complete transcript of the investigation is being prepared for publication on March 1st. At that time, the committee will hold a full-scale press conference. After nearly four months of investigation, followed by nine weeks of hearings, it is the conclusion of this committee that Senator Carroll was assassinated by Thomas Richard Linden. It is our further conclusion that he acted entirely alone, motivated by a sense of patriotism and a psychotic desire for public recognition. The committee wishes to emphasize that there is no evidence of any wider conspiracy; no evidence whatsoever. It's our hope that this will put an end to the kind of irresponsible and exploitive speculation conducted by the press in recent months, as I've said in the complete text of the hearings, which provides the bases for the committee's findings which will be published on March 1st. When you've had a chance to examine the evidence, you'll have every opportunity to ask those questions which remain unanswered, if they are any. That is all. Thank you.
b.		Luce: [Has come for a glass of punch, but finds Rachel blocking the way] What, is something wrong? I'm here to help. Rachel: My ring. I was getting some of this punch crap and... Luce: Your wedding ring? Rachel: It fell off. Off and in there. My wedding ring is in there. Luce: And you tried the ladle? Rachel: Nothing. Luce: And you can't empty... Rachel: No. Luce: No, it's too big. Right. Only one thing to do. Cover me. [Starts to roll up her sleeves] Rachel: What? Luce: Use the dress. [Moves Rachel so that her body covers Luce's actions] Luce: I'm going in. Rachel: You can't just... [Looks over her shoulder as Luce prepares to fish around for the ring] Rachel: Oh, yes, really, you can. [Luce sticks her arm in the punch bowl]
c.		Jerome: I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body - you lent me your dream.

3.	Which of the following famous movie quotes, is mentioned in the Hollywood movie: The Parallax View (1974)?
a.		Indiana: Take this... [hands torch to Marion] Indiana: Wave it at anything that slithers.

c.		Hammond Commission Spokesman: Ladies and gentlemen, you've been invited here today for the official announcement of the inquiry into the death of George Hammond. A complete transcript of the investigation is in preparation. This committee has spent nearly six months of investigation, followed by eleven weeks of hearings. After careful deliberation, it is concluded that George Hammond was assassinated by Joseph Frady. An overwhelming body of evidence has revealed that Frady was obsessed with the Carroll assassination, and in his confused and distorted state of mind seems to have imagined that Hammond was responsible for the senator's death. He was equally convinced that Hammond was somehow plotting to kill him. And it is for those reasons that Frady assassinated him. Although I'm certain that this will do nothing to discourage the conspiracy peddlers: there is no evidence of a conspiracy in the assassination of George Hammond. Those are our findings. The evidence will be available as soon as possible. Thank you. This is an announcement, gentlemen. There will be no questions.

c.		Simon Dermott: It's National Crime Prevention Week. Take a burglar to dinner.
d.		Sheriff L.D. Wicker: [Frady just beat up Deputy Red.] You just come over here and sit down. You're alright, son. Joseph Frady: Listen, you wouldn't be offended if I called the police, would you? Sheriff L.D. Wicker: No, but you don't have to call very far because Red's a deputy. And if that isn't good enough, I'm the sheriff. Joseph Frady: You got some interesting ideas about law enforcement. Sheriff L.D. Wicker: I could have stopped the fight. I would have if you'd have been gettin' whipped, but I dearly love seeing ol' Red get stomped. Joseph Frady: He's your deputy? Sheriff L.D. Wicker: Well, you see he's my sister's boy.
