But, I'm pretty sure that's not it either.

a) I think I recognize it, but I can't place it.
b) I'm moving in 2-3 days, so I really shouldn't answer anyway.

Don't let the skin job take it though. Post another quote.

Ok I guess bladerunner quotes are freebies for Roy Here's another one that's probably too easy:

I'm guessing either Philip K. Dick's "We can Remember It For You Wholesale" or the movie based on it, Total Recall.

Character 1 points out (to character 2) a box labled "Grenades".

Character 2: What are you going to do with those?

Character 1: We can wire them up to the hatches.

Character 2: Lets do it.
Not knowing how hard (or easy) this one will be, I'm going to wait for a few responses before giving out clues.

A day has gone by and no guesses, so I'll start the clues...

Quote is from a black and white movie made in the 50's.

edit to add...that really isn't much of a clue, as most of my quotes are from black and white movies made in the 50's.

This one may not be overly difficult.

It sounds like the kind of movie I should know, but the quote doesn't ring any bells.
