Wanted: Your suggestions for Daily Dialogue

From our last Daily Dialogue contest, we had this suggestion from Greg Colburn: Notable questions in dialogue. Here are some examples:

High Fidelity

Rob Gordon: What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

Dirty Harry

Harry Callahan: I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Any great sides of movie dialogue you can think of that feature memorable questions? That’s the theme for next week’s Daily Dialogue — your suggestions appreciated.
