One of the games set up at this years holiday party for The Avenue's talent and clients was to identify the movie, tv series, or game show quote. There were 27 brave souls who participated and turned in their answers to win a mystery prize. This year, age was no factor. Eight year olds competed with forty year olds, much to their disadvantage. (Usually we have a kids division, but somehow that didn't happen in the party chaos this year -- so kudos to the courageous and undaunted kids!)
From left to right, actor Byron Herlong; agent/director Melinda Eisnaugle; and actress Katie Groshong at The Avenue's 2012 holiday party.
For me as an agent, I have to share that I was highly amused by some of the answers and creative ideas. For one, I was suprised at how many people couldn't come up with the actual title to quote #14. Answers were close, but rarely correct. Can you? I was also suprised how many entries under the age of 12 knew the quote from #15. (I'm thinking someone had help from a grown-up!) The unanswerable quotes include: #4, #6, #17, #20, #22, #30, #34, #35, #39, #40, #44-47. If you can help, leave your answer below. No one -- not one person -- was able to answer #35, #39, and #40. Can you?
