Who said it?

[Guru]

Optimistic at this moment has a quote in her signature.
A guy in a very popular movie used this in one of the scenes of a movie.
I read her signature this morning while scanning posts here and it hit me where I had seen/heard that before.

Weird coffee at Books-a-Million (or the drink of your choice there) for anyone that can give me the answer.

[Guru]

ps: The actor also has a brand new movie out at this time.

[BassCatter]

My google search said the line came from Tea for Sympathy and it's a "gay classic".

[katzeyez]

It's from Tea and Sympathy, character that said it was Laura Reynolds, and the actress that played her was Deborah Kerr.

[BassCatter]

Movie from 1956, I must say, I've not seen it.

[katzeyez]

I haven't either BC.

Optimistik probably hasn't either! LOL We are talking about the person who hasn't seen Casablance OR Gone with the Wind! LOL :p

[BassCatter]

You can have the coffee with Guru.....In light of the circumstance of winning, I would have to decline sitting at books a million with a man, discussing Tea and Sympathy.

[katzeyez]

No thanks, you won it fair and square...so you get to go play with him at BAM, and ya'll can gossip like we women know you men do, ya'll are worse then women sometimes. ;) :D

[Guru]

That is not the movie I am referring to, it is only the origin of the quote.
BC can't collect, we just got off the phone with him jabbing me for Tea & Sympathy.
:D

[katzeyez]

Hmmm...IMDB is pretty thorough, and didn't have any other movie listed as it being used in.

[Guru]

I can give you the quote twist but it will nullify the BAM deal, lol.

I started to let the cat out of the bag but the thread just started. Wait to see if someone comes up with it.

[katzeyez]

I'm perfectly comfortable with the BAM deal being nullified, so post away.

[Guru]

I'd better wait, there may be others wanting to figure it out.

[optimistik1]

maybe if you gave us the new movie title he is in???

[katzeyez]

Opt is the resident researcher of ALL things, if she isn't able to find it---it might not be foundable.

[optimistik1]

and so far (((Katz)))...it isn't "foundable"

[katzeyez]

I'm posting this, but will not take credit for finding it.

There is one occasion where it's used verbatum from the movie, and that's in a Remington Steele. The episode is entitle 'License to Steele'

Steele: 'When you mention this in the future, and you will, be kind.' Deborah Kerr to John Kerr. Tea and Sympathy. MGM, 1956.
The story of an underage but tender relationship between a prep school boy and his housemaster's wife. Steele quotes the film's most famous line to soften the blow when Laura first realizes he's been masquerading as Remington Steele behind her back.

The other is a similar use of the phrase, but not a direct quote. It's from the movie
'Bull Durham'.

Bull Durham: "Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well."

[Honey]

Wow, Katz. How did you find it?
