2002 Quotes
Pit your wits against the screenwriters of 2002
by Marty Mapes
If you’re a truly devoted fan of film critic Marty Mapes, you may recall reading some devilish end-of-year movie quote contests. Well, he’s back, with 30 quotes from 2002.
We considered setting up a contest, with a fee to enter and winners getting some sort of prize. We also considered selling the answers as a Movie Habit fundraiser. In the end we decided simply to show you the quotes this week and not show you the answers until next week (although we’ll be happy to sell you the answers early for any PayPal contribution.)
Each quote below comes from a 2002 movie. For each one, see if you can identify both the movie and the speaker.
