Tuesday Trivia: Quotes of the 1930s

1. You know you’ve got the brain of a four-year old child, and I bet he was glad to get rid of it.
Solved by Ken (comment #3).

2. I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once, and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level! It actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news on the seat of my pants.
Solved by Melville (comment #1).

3. She’s a female! And all females is poison! They’re full of wicked wiles!
Solved by Ken (comment #3).

4. Now, hold on! Hold on. Don’t get excited here. I’m just tryin’ to tell you that I ain’t got any guns. You see if I woulda had a gun then, why, one of us might have been hurt and it might be me. I wouldn’t want that to happen… would I?
Solved by Melville (comment #1).

5. Well, I guess you can’t break out of prison and into society in the same week.
Solved by George (comment #4).

6. I think I’ll have a large order of prognosis negative!
Solved by Hogan (comment #5).

Solved by George (comment #4).

Tuesday Trivia: This Time, It’s Literary

It has been said that movies and literature go together like bananas and sardines1; that banana/sardine synergy is the subject of this week’s Tuesday Trivia quiz. Your task is to identify an actor who has appeared in adaptations of the work of all three listed authors; for example, if I gave you Tom Robbins, William Gibson, and William Shakespeare, you might answer Keanu Reeves (Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Johnny Mnemonic, and Much Ado About Nothing or My Own Private Idaho). For extra credit: one of the actors I have in mind also appears in the work of a fourth (unnamed) author (who should be very familiar to Deborah’s readers).

Get it? Got it. Good.

  1. Dashiell Hammett, Somerset Maugham, Fyodor Dostoevsky
    [solved by Maurinsky, comment #6]
  2. Jane Austen, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Leo Tolstoy
    [solved by Melville, comment #1]
  3. Charles Dickens, Edith Wharton, Lawrence Sterne
    [solved by Hogan, comment #3]
  4. Charles Dodgson, Ernest Hemingway, John O’Hara
    [solved by Melville, comment #8]
  5. Steven King, Graham Greene, Raymond Chandler
    [solved by Hogan, comment #10]
  6. Philip K. Dick, Robert Howard, August Strindberg
    [solved by Melville, comment #2]
  7. Samuel Clemens, William Thackeray, John Steinbeck
    [solved by Melville, comment #13]

Note: I have one person in mind for each of these, but if you identify someone else who qualifies you will of course get full credit (and the question will remain open).

1I just said it, so it has in fact been said.
