If I recall correctly, and I may not, but....the number of blanks is wrong. The line was, i think, "What we have here is failure to communicate".

I'd have to rewatch the movie to be sure, though.

Aside: I got about 20 of them. Thanks, neat quiz!

I'm only missing one...I though it might be "Night, John Boy", but the commas' in the wrong place.

Which just goes to show that I'm *far* too into popular culture, my own and that which came before. *Grin*

#20 was the only one I didn't get - but I think I get bonus points for knowing that #17 could be either Mary Martin or Cathy Rigby.

I got all but four *immediately. I got three of the four after thinking for a minute.

The one I couldn't get was the Peter Pan question. I could *see* her, but I couldn't remember her name (my mind has this disconnect between names and faces...)

And when I was a kid, our family dentist had a sign stuck up in a tree across the parking lot from the exam rooms. You could only see it while sitting in the chairs. "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!"
