Competition #2: Quotes In Discussion
Quote:Winter is coming.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
Above, conversing quotations. Competitors are asked to provide two famous quotes that when put together sound like two successive lines in a conversation.
-- Bob
I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh, Clark Kent, Mary Sue, DJ Croft, Skysaber. I have been
called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the sun grows dim and cold....

... Yes, I know that I never closed this competition last month. I'm calling it closed now -- and I'm calling Norway's submission the winner.
(Entirely by coincidence, I just found an almost identical competition in one of my collections, only Mary Ann Madden called it "Bartlett Pairs".)

I know this one has a winner already. Does that matter?
"Hello, I love you, Won't you tell me your name?"
"Hello. My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to Die."

“No. I am your father.”

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make

I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.
