I also thought, I would add another dimension to his GREAT idea.
Let’s also add general TV Trivia to this thread, making that fair game for a question…
Hope this turns out to be as much fun as @aeonx 's game…
We can use his same rules.

Let’s start a game, shall we? It goes like this: You give a not too obvious quote from a that’s not too hard and not too easy, and the first to guess it wins and can state the next quote, after posting some interesting trivia about the movie just guessed. Bonus points for finding and embedding a videoclip where the line is spoken! Googling/searching the quote is not allowed, obviously. If someone gets an answer right, please like his/her post to give karma as a reward.
I’ll start:
The Line:
“Silly Question. Wanna Hear a silly answer? From a planet, circling that far left star in Orion’s Belt.”, said while the character points up into the night sky.
Without giving away too many clues just by the questions, HERE GOES!!!
What was the character’s and actor’s name who said it?
What was the character’s and actor’s name who it was said to?
What did that refer to? (What was done using the theme/idea they were discussing?)
How far in the future was it expected to happen?
Kirk (Shatner)
Edith (Joan Collins)
They were discussing why Spock calls Kirk Captain (“Were you in the war together?”) and Kirk was explaining about a novelist in the future.
“A hundred years or so from now”
Since you didn’t ask the most important one, it is from Star Trek:TOS episode “City on the Edge of Forever”.
Trivia about the episode - The episode was originally written by Harlan Ellison (and he is credited) but Roddenberry had it rewritten several times which made Ellison mad.
(Just as an aside, I knew the series, the episode and who spoke the lines you quoted (yes lines, because Edith answers “Yes.” in between “…answer?” and “A planet …” [not “From a planet”]) but had to look up the full details. A little too much detail required to be a quick game. Just my 2 cents.)
CS: Now climb the rope or you get to go sit with the girls. TS: So if I don’t climb the rope, I get to go sit with the girls? You’re going to have to help me out here, I’m failing to see the downside!
Tonight’s the night. And it’s going to happen, again and again. It has to happen. Nice night. Miami is a great town. I love the Cuban food. Pork sandwiches. My favorite. But I’m hungry for something different now.
These are actually the first lines in this tv show, read by the main character.
@jjrjr1 If you condense the quotes from the tv shows to a few iconic lines only that aren’t too hard, and not from a too obscure tv show, and if you clearly state that the quote is from a tv show as opposed to a movie, then I think it’s ok to post these in the main “Guess the movie from a quote” thread.
If someone gets an answer right, please like his/her post to give karma as a reward.
