"So you're Col Needham."
"That's right, Bravo. What's that mean to you?"
"I heard a lot about you."
"What've you heard, Bravo?"
"I heard you were a low-down Yankee liar."
"A British liar, actually."
"Prove it."

Random poster: Colonel, if you drop the CFB, where shall I go? What shall I do?
Colonel: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Random poster: As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be boardless again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be boardless again.
Random Poster: I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.
Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get those message boards back. After all tomorrow is another day.

Colonel Maleva to Random Poster:
The way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Your suffering is over, Random Poster my son. Now you will find peace and no longer have to stay up into the wee hours looking for rhymes and quotes and playing Garth Games.

Count Dracula: There are far worse things awaiting man than death.like maybe the end of the message boards.
Van Helsing: You have been caught trolling. You'll die in torment if you die with innocent blood on your soul.

I thought I heard you say it was a pity I never made any posts. But you're wrong. I made thousands of them and all games.

I got these from a guy who swore on a stack of old Variety magazines that he heard these assorted characters say the following about the message board closure:
When Sgt. J.J. Sefton was told the IMDb message boards were shutting down, he is reported to have said to his fellow posters, "If I ever run into any of you bums on a street corner, just let's pretend we've never met before."
Addison DeWitt pondered the IMDb management's stated reasoning for the board closure and had this to say: "They've got a point - an idiotic one, but a point."
Fred C. Dobbs, when told that many of his fellow IMDb posters were launching a petition to try to save the message boards, is reported to have said, "You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking we ought to give up leave the whole outfit leave everything behind. Go back to civilization."
Referring to the message board trolls who were partly to blame for the shutting down of the IMDb boards, Prof. Zelin reportedly said, "There is no more foul or relentless enemy of man in the occult world, than this dead-alive creature spewed up from the grave."
Col. Kurtz, upon hearing the news about the boards being shut down, reportedly had only this comment: "The horror The horror." After which Major Clipton immediately chimed in, "Madness! Madness!"
Don't mess with me, man! I know karate, judo, ju-jitsu and several other Japanese words.

The Admins quoted God's Final Message To His Creation from the book "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish," by Douglas Adams (the final Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel): "We apologize for the inconvenience."
Several movie and TV characters Tweeted about this.
Corky St. Clair was particularly upset at the news: "So - so that's the way it is? Well, then I just hate you and I hate your ASS FACE!"
An anonymous French soldier weighed in: Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person!
One tweeter who identified only as Eleanor of A: I could peel you like a pear and God himself would call it justice!
Some couldn't believe the IMDb could be so cruel: I've met some hard-boiled eggs in my time, but youyou're 20 minutes.

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
What would classic film characters say…
"I had the stupid idea that maybe there was some way to break thisgently."
"Well, we had a long roll of the dice, didn't we? Can't complain now."
"The end of an old roadthe beginning of a new one."
"I don't feel the way I thought I would."
"So, we're all going to fold up and die"
"You couldn't enjoy what I made possible for you. You'd rather have this. Well, congratulations. You've got it! All laid out for you so you can wallow in self-pity."
"I know life can be very unfair. But you never used to be sorry for yourself."
"Where is everybody go-iiiinnnng?"
"I will not hesitate to fire you all right here on the spot, and replace y'all with a board that will go along."
"I never knew it would come to that. You must believe it."
"Don't grieve'tis logical."
"Go! You live!"
"You bet I'll get out of here, baby. I'll get out of here but quick."
"Someday soon, we all will be together"
"This goodbye brings a tear to the eye"
"Never look back, never look back, no don't look around, it wouldn't be smart"
"Didja ever have the feelin' that ya wanted to go, but still had the feelin' that ya wanted to stay?"
If anyone cares to identify the whos and whens, or to submit other "who said what/where/whens," feel free to contribute to some waning days frivolity.
EDIT: I thought maybe this would develop into an informal "ID the film and speaker" thread, but one of the most fun things about threads is the way they take on forms of their own, so "thank you" to bravomailer, Boomer-Baby, Byrdz, matt_garth, GlennME, ZolotryRetriever, MikeF-6 and anyone else who comes along with a different creative spin. The welcome mat's always out.
