My best friend and I are united by geekdom. We both love to know things really well, and we both like to quote things. About a year ago, we made up this game. People keep telling us that we should go public with it. I love it because it gives people the opportunity to entertain each other with the things that get stuffed into the dusty corners of the brain and forgotten. Our first version was a set of slips of paper to draw from an umbrella sleeve. This evolved within a month into a deck of cards with themes or sources written on them. Players take turns drawing cards and quoting to the theme or from the source. No quoting yourself, except in special circumstances (i.e. Sam and I have an agreement that quoting my poetry is within-bounds), and we don't usually play for points; passing is entirely okay. This is a Flash version of our deck.

Other versions with a deck:

Combo-style: draw two cards at once, or even three. Best played on a table. It can be an either-or for rookies, and a both-at-once for pros. For example, the cards "Destiny" and "Banter and Insults" could be answered simultaneously with Kaiba's line from Yu-Gi-Oh's "Flight of Fear II": "If I had a dime for every time you've used the word 'destiny', I'd be even richer." or even Katara's famous death threat in Avatar's "The Western Air Temple": "You make one step backward, one slip-up, give me one reason to think you might hurt Aang, and you won't have to worry about your destiny anymore. Because I'll make sure that your destiny ends, right then and there, permanently. "

One-Card: Draw a single card and see how many quotes you all can think of to match that one card. For example, I just drew "Loyalty and Betrayal", and I'll start listing:
"If I sense any disloyalty, any hesitation, any weakness at all, I will snuff it out. That is all." - Azula, Avatar's "The Crossroads of Destiny"
"Then you should have died! Die rather than betray your friends, just as we would have done for you!" - Sirus, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
"It must be difficult for someone like you to understand loyalty." - Mahad, to Bakura, Yu-Gi-Oh!'s "Makings of a Magician"
"Memorize their faces, so you'll know who to kill if we're betrayed." - Ralon of Malven, Tamora Pierce's Lioness Rampant
"Mai: You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you.
Azula: No, YOU miscalculated! You should have feared me more!" - Avatar's "The Boiling Rock (2)" After Mai betrays Azula to save Zuko
"These soldiers love and defend our nation! How can you betray them?!" - Zuko, in "The Storm"; the outburst that got him his scar
"Ozai: ...And for your loyalty, I'm going to make you the new Firelord.
Azula: Firelord Azula? It does seem appropriate. But what about you?
Ozai: Firelord Ozai is no more..." - Avatar's "Sozin's Comet (1): The Phoenix King"
"My uncle loved and supported me in every way he could, and I still turned against him. How can I even face him?" - Zuko, Avatar's "Sozin's Comet (2): The Old Masters"
"Style or not, he's as trecherous as a snake!" - Faithful, on Duke Roger, Tamora Pierce's In the Hand of the Goddess
"Well at least I know this CHICKEN isn't going to double-cross his best friend and then scurry away in the middle of the night! In fact, this CHICKEN's stickin' around for the long haul!" - Yusei, in 5Ds' "A Blast From the Past II"
And so on, as long as you want.

with Hands:
Each player is dealt a hand of five cards. On one's turn, they draw twice from the deck and then play one or more cards, and quote to the single or the combo. The first player to empty his or her hand wins. This is so far the only winnable quotes game. It can be played by any number of people, even one.

Versions Without a Deck:

Challenges: There were mornings in high school when I left my quotes deck at home, so Sam and I thought up a version that didn't need it. We would simply challenge each other to quote cards we remembered, or cards we made up.

Chaining: This is a more complicated version. It starts with one person quoting something, then the next person quoting something that shares a word or phrase in common with the last quote. This is a sample of an actual ongoing game we keep going in a text-editing file, on a separate page due to length.
