Synonymous Quote Game

LBT Quote Game too easy?
I thought of an idea for a variation of the LBT Quote Game for all the Quote Veterans out there! The idea is simple:

On the player's turn, he/she writes a quote or part of a quote from an LBT movie, in an Alternate Form. The words used in the clue must have the same meanings as the words used in the original quote. the respondant must give the answer with the original quote (preferrably exactly accurate to the original, but it is up to the choice of the questioneer how close it must be), the film it's in, and who spoke the line. Preferrably, give the scene where the quote occurs as well.

For example:

A variety of objects are to be observed with your optic receptors, whereas other amenities are meant to be spotted by your vascular organ.

The answer to this clue is:
"Some things you see with your eyes. Others, you see with your heart." Spoken by Littlefoot's mother in LBT 1.

Another example:
Affirmative. Not possible. Perhaps.

The answer is
"Yes. No. Maybe"
from LBT 8, spoken by Cera, Littlefoot, and Petrie, when they are about to leave the Great valley to find Ducky.

As you can see, it requires some thinking on the part of the question writer.

:
See how this one works? What do you think of this game? I'll start:

Spike was able to locate it!

vascular organ

Littlefoot already said "I don't understand" the way his mother said it. I can imagine the blank look if she had said it the way you put it. "Come again?"

Quote

Spike was able to locate it!

"Spike finded it!"?
Ducky says this in LBT 5 when he spotted the island.

Perfect!

Your turn, Malte. B)

Myself has been rendered incapable of altering by too much progress in terms of time.

"I am small."?
Spoken by Littlefoot in LBT 11, after his Grandpa helps him get over the little cliff.

Malte279 · **Reply #5 on:** September 17, 2006, 03:04:40 PM

Nope. Read closely what the quote says.

It seems to be the (entertaining) point of the game to use terms which, while being synonymous shroud the meaning of a sentence rather than making it clearer. I love this game. Good idea Tim!

Petrie. · **Reply #6 on:** September 17, 2006, 10:15:58 PM

It could be a Petrie quote since it starts with "myself". Which quote is beyond me.

Malte279 · **Reply #7 on:** September 18, 2006, 02:50:05 AM

Keep in mind that we are to alter the quotes from the way they appear in the movie. Myself is not the word used in the movie. What does the quote tell you? Once you know that, there is only one possible counterpart in the series.
It is not a Petrie quote.

Hmm... interesting twist on the good ol' LBT Quote game. I'm gonna take a stab at this and say:

It's Doc from LBT 6. The true line being "My footsteps were planted on the wandering trail long ago...I'm too old to change now."

Malte279 · **Reply #9 on:** September 18, 2006, 07:16:10 AM

Correct Jason!
"I'm too old to change now" is the part I "translated". The funniest thing about it is that there are so many more possibilities to translate it into something that sounds... incomprehensible

Your turn

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #10 on:** September 19, 2006, 05:04:53 PM

Hey cool! First time winner! LOL

OK here goes:

"One does make a very interesting and accurate highlight of current affairs"

Malte279 · **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2006, 03:04:47 PM

Is this one from LBT XI?

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #12 on:** September 27, 2006, 05:07:10 AM

Nope...not what I had in mind

action9000 · **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2006, 09:26:41 PM

Ok, ok I have a guess:
"The threehorn speaks the truth!"
LBT 3, spoken by another adult after the fire in the great valley.

I may be waaay off, but it's the best I can come up with right now. This game is tough!

: If I'm wrong, we may need a hint!

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #14 on:** October 10, 2006, 04:12:15 PM

That wasnt the one I was thinking of Action. If you need a clue here's some to get ya thinkin'

It's from LBT 7...and one of the gang members says it

That should help you out

action9000 · **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2006, 08:02:52 PM

okey dokey, here's another shot in the dark!

Petrie: "You right about that!" while he and Pterano are talking about their exciting lives.

Maybe this game would be easier if by default you told which movie it was from and maybe even another clue to go more in depth. Some of these are not so precise and could apply to more than one saying. I couldn't even begin to answer any of these!

But maybe that's just because of my lack of knowledge of the movies, as I haven't seen most of them in a long time.

When I set up this game, I intended it to be for those people who perhaps considered the original 'quote game' too easy. This is *supposed* to be hard! Muahahaha

I do like your idea though; perhaps if the clue giver adds clues after each wrong guess, it would help. We actually have been doing that though; Littlefoot1616 stated that his clue is from LBT 7.

Littlefoot Fan · **Reply #18 on:** October 13, 2006, 04:50:58 PM

Well, maybe yea

: I've never played the original one so I don't really know. But everyone seems to be doing well at this o.o God my head will explode if I try to figure one of these out!

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #19 on:** October 14, 2006, 07:30:04 AM

Yeah Action! I'll let you have that!

I was initially thinking of the scene where Cera complains about apparently always being the last one in line and normally suffers for it (which we know isn't normally the case).

At that point, Petrie says "She do have point!"

Anyway, your turn Action...fire away!
