The other threat was getting quite long, so I thought it's time for a new one. I think it's Anna's turn to post a new quote...

Saskia

Okay, so here goes the next one... I was planning on using something else, but this looks just evilly great for a riddle!

---/----/---------/--/-/----------/---------/---------/--/----/-----------/-------------/--------/----/--/------------/-------.-/----/--.

H?

Sorry, no H.

See ya,

How about O?

Is it this? Lois to Clark, from Smart Kids:

Okay, and since I'm pretty sure I'm right, here's a new one:

-- ------, ---'- --- -- -- ------- --- -----... ----------, ------ -----------? -- -- - --- ----- ----? --, - ---- ---. -----'- ------- ----- -- ------- -- ---------- ----.


Guess away!


Wendy

D?

H?

Both H and D...


-- h-----, ---'- --- -- -- ---h--- -h- -----... ----------, ------ -----------? -- -- - --- ----- h---? -h, - h--- ---. -h---'- ---h--- ----- -- ------- -- ---------d h---.

Don't think that helped much...


Wendy

S?

N?

E?

Tricia

B?

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

A?

Okay, S, N, E, B and A...


Be h-nes-, -sn'- -ne -- -s ---h--- -he --he-... -n-----e-e, ----s- ---e-essa--? -- m- - a-- a--ne he-e? -h, - h--e n--. -he-e's n--h--- ----e s- -a-n--- as -n-e---ted ha-e.


Any clues?


Wendy

what about L? I think it's Luthor speaking (if the final word is "hate") but I don't know which episode...

A couple of Ls, yes...

Be h-nes-, -sn'- -ne -- -s ---h--- -he --he-... -n----le-e, ----s- ---e-essa--? -- m- - all al-ne he-e? -h, - h--e n--. -he-e's n--h--- ----e s- -a-n--l as -n-e---ted ha-e.


Any guesses yet? Simona's right that it's Luthor speaking.


Wendy

I think I got it ...

"Be honest, isn't one of us without the other ... incomplete, almost unnecessary? Or am I all alone here? Oh, I hope not. There's nothing quite so painful as unrequited hate."

Lex to Superman in "Seconds" shortly before Superman says "Do that and this is war." and Luthor hits the remote button to blow up several buildings.

Not sure this is right because the 'm' in 'am' is misplaced in the last post if I'm right.

Cheers,
Simba

You're absolutely right, Simba - and, yes, I did put the 'm' in 'am' in the wrong place. :p Sorry!

Anyway, you're up next!


Wendy

Ok, here's the new puzzle.

----, - ----- -----... -- --- ---- --- -- -- -----, -- ----- -'- ---- -----. -------- -- ---, --'-- --- ---- --------- ------ -- ----- -----.

Simba

I'm starting with a S!

E?

Tricia

L?

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Sorry, I took so long to reply. I've been trying to catch up on my Japanese crash course which I missed a week of for a conference. But here it is, the S, E and L's.

----, - l---- -l--e ... -- --- ---- -S- -- -- l----, -- ----e -'- --s- ---e-. ----e-e- -- --s, -e'-e --- ---e --------- -----s -- ----- -----.

Tricia

See ya,

Good choices! Lots of R's and T's and some strategically placed A's. Any guesses?

Simba

Okay, a lunar flare... or too much MSG in my lunch, or maybe I'm just tired. Whatever it was, we've got more important things to think about.

--Clark to Lois, after he's been exposed to Red K in Lethal Weapon

Had to look up exactly which ep, but I knew instantly the context. Which is the only reason I decided to solve this one, lol, as I've done several already.

Yup, you got it Doranwen, which means it's your turn.

Simba

Oh, somehow I forgot to come back to this in all the housework I was doing yesterday . . . *sheepish grin*

How about a smoothie? It'll only take a second.

From Witness, when Lois comes to Clark's and catches him with the blender.

Which, by the way, I never understood. I mean, sure, dip your fingers into it and offer it to people, I'm sure they'll love it. <g>

Here's a new one, a bit long:

--'- / ----- / -- / --- / ---- / ------- / -- / --- / --- / -- / --- / -'-- / ---- / --- / --- / --------- / ------- / --- / --- / ------: / -- / ----- / -- / --------- / ---- / ---- / --- / ---.

Julie

I'll try R

I loved that line, ever since I heard it as an audio clip. But yeah, it doesn't make much sense, lol.

E?

How about A?

He's about as far from perfect as you can be but I'll tell you the difference between him and Calvin: he wants my happiness more than his own

Lois to Elise in "Whine, whine, whine"

Is it right?

simona

Yep, you're up

Julie

I'll try this one:

- / ------- / -- / ---- / ---- / ------ / --- / ------.
--'- / ----- / --- / ------- / --- / ------- / --- / ------ / --- / ----

simona

I?

Tricia

few Is:

- / ------- / I- / ---- / ---- / --I--- / --- / ------.
I-'- / ----- / --- / ----I-- / --- / ------- / --- / ------ / --- / -I--

simona

It seems there are always H's.

lots of As and yes, Andreia, two Hs too!

simona

You've added an M although no one asked for it... and I believe there are a couple more...

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Yes, I added a M, so now the others:

A / TH-AT-- / IS / M--- / THA- / --I--S / A-- / M--TA-.
IT'S / --AMA / A-- / -ASSI-- / A-- / M-ST--- / A-- / --M--- / A-- / -I--

Hrmph. I recognize the quote but there are some words I don't remember... I'd check the script, but anyway... O?

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

We have O too

A / TH-AT-- / IS /MO-- / THA- / --I--S /A-- / MO-TA-.
IT'S / --AMA / A-- / -ASSIO- / A-- / M-ST--- / A-- / -OM--- / A-- / -I--

A theatre is more than bricks and mortar. It's drama and passion and mystery and comedy and life.

Is this right?

Tricia

I'm reasonably sure this is right, so I'll post a new one before heading to bed.

-- ---- -------. ------, -- --- ------ ------------ -- ----- --- - ---.

Tricia

absolutely right, Tricia! I love this line!

In vino veritas. Anyway, he was always disappointed he never had a son
in Lucky Leon, Lois to Clark during their date?
