:D I'm the WORST at trivia so don't feel bad at all. I used to be great at Trivial Pursuit, until I realized that game is easy compared to what you find on these boards.

Nope, not Wings of Eagles. In fact, I'm not really sure if you've seen either of the films so I'm not being fair. Do you want me to tell?

The first time (that I know of), is in Doctor Bull, when the doc is spending an evening with his lady friend. All the gossips in town think he's up there making whoopee with his girlfriend, when in fact she's reading aloud from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

The second is the line you quoted, spoken by Jack Warden in Donovan's Reef.

Ahhh! Thats right. I have seen Doc Bull.... and I remember that scene. Those Will Rogers films didn't pop into my mind right off. I kept thinking of the same three movies over and over. It was like I had math fear, only it was quote fear....

I haven't seen Donovan's Reef, but maybe that scene slipped into my sub-conscious from little bits and pieces I might have seen over the years?

Naaaah. It was a wild guess. :)

I knew the "cabbages and kings" quote sounded familiar. I just watched Donovan's Reef Saturday before last. :D
