This has been bugging me for a while now. Can someone help me with this quote?
Person # 1 "This reminds me of the time you thought you had mono."
Person # 2 "Yeah, turned out I was just bored."
What the heck movie is this from?

A google search for movie quotes including "mono" gives me this:
“I once thought I had mono for an entire year, but it turned out I was just really bored.”

Ok, without "googleing" see if anyone can guess this one (i am going form memory):
Man#1: Well, say hi to your wife and the twins.
Man#2: Triplets!
Man#1: Triplets? (shaking head in disbelief) Wow, how time flies.

Usivius, you stumped everyone for nearly 2 years.
I've got another one I'm stumped on. Bad sci/fi flick. There's a prison break on a planet that's very hot. So hot that you burn up if you're outside unprotected. The prison was way underground, and for some reason everyone was hanging from chains. I thought it was The Chronicles of Riddick, but I'm watching it now, and it's not happening (though maybe later in the film, who knows).
Anyone got a clue?
Edit-Bah, I'm a dumbass. It is Riddick.
Edit again-OMFG, I can't believe I sat through this movie again. Judi Dench should be ashamed of herself.

Hey, I actually liked Riddik. Visually it's fun to watch. Overall, yah, it's a sucky movie. But it's kinda fun to watch two great actors like Judi Dench in Colm Feore in a sucky movie.
Oh, and my apologies for leaving that quote hanging for two years. It's actually from Gilliam's movie, "Brazil".
One of the many hilarious lines that goes largely unnoticed in that great movie...

Too many good lines in Brazil.

heh, just watched it last week ... but I think you left out a few expletives ... the character went on quite a bit, I recall.
Don't know character's name, but it's from "The Crow"...

OK, since we are playing, how about this little passage... I always remember this bit and is such a great peice of wry writing:
Man
Just a dream. I was walking in the woods, don't
know why. . . The wind came up and blew my hat
off. . .
Woman
And you chased it, right? You ran and ran and
finally you caught up to it and picked it up but
it wasn't a hat anymore. It had changed into
something else--something wonderful.
Man
No. It stayed a hat. And no I didn't chase it.
I watched it blow away. . .
. . . Nothing more foolish than a man chasing his
hat.

I'm completely stumped with Usivius'. But, and I hope this isn't
too serious a breach of etiquette, here's another one I love:
One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Dammit, I know both of those and can't figure out where they're from.

Fist, that is a hilareous quote and I have absolutely no idea where its from. I can only assume I have not seen it, because I would definatley remember a line like that! Classic!

OMG .. I just looked it up (soory, I had to. It was really driving me crazy). And I am ashamed to say that I have not seen this movie. My dad has been trying to get me to see it for years. What a fool I was!
Going to borrow it from him tonight!
Thanks Fist!
...and I saw a line later in the movie:
"Daddy, I've got cider in my ear..."
