From books guru Mike Merschel:

The discussion about great movie lines reminds me of a Writers Guild ad campaign from years ago, where they cited scenes from great movies and added, "Somebody wrote that." For example:

"Remember the movie where Steve McQueen is thrown in the cooler of this prison camp, and he keeps whipping this baseball against the wall, PLINK-PLANK-PLONK-SMACK, PLINK-PLANK-PLONK-SMACK? Yeah right, like those Nazi dudes ever had a chance. Somebody wrote that."
