Can anyone help me with this question:

"You are the brute squad!" Who said it, to whom in what movie? (Actors' names)

A customer emailed this to me last night. I have no clue. ("Fight Club?")

The Princess Bride. Here's the part of the script where it appears:

Brad, does this set a record for amount of time elapsed between question and answer (1 minute)?

Thanks, Evans! (I would have probably set a record for acknowledging your rapid answer but I was on the #%$# phone.)

You're just not fast enough Evans. There is no reason you could not have gotten that response up before the server's clock turned to the next minute. You'll have to try harder next time.

As for the record, I do know that there have been others that posted on the next minute, but I'm not sure if anyone has ever hit the same minute. I have faith you will in time though.

Actually, it was just luck. I just happened to tune in just at the moment the post was made, saw the question, did a WWW search on the phrase, found the script, and posted the link. I doubt I could do that again in 1000 years. After I saw that there was one minute difference in the two posts, it surprised me, and I went back and edited it, adding the comment about the quick response, since long ago, on a thread, someone answered a question five minutes after it was posted and you made a post bragging on how film-tech provided such a rapid response. This was probably before I registered since I was in a different office then in a different building, using an SGI Indy as my desktop computer.

I wouldn't call it bragging, but I do remember the post. It was quite funny that an answer came so quick.

And actually assuming the first post was made right as the server clock turned, you had a few seconds shy of 2 whole minutes to get your post up.

It sure is nice to know that a person can ask almost any question about a movie and SOMEBODY here will know about it. It's great being able to say, "I don't know, but I can probably have an answer for you within a few minutes." Film-tech'ers rule!
