Okay, so today I decided to mess around with “fletch movie lines,” you know, from that classic Chevy Chase flick. I’ve always loved those quips and wanted to see if I could pull them together somehow.
First, I hit up Google. Just typed in “fletch movie lines” and, boom, tons of stuff came up. Mostly fan sites and some random blog posts, nothing super organized, though.
Digging Through the Junk
So, I started clicking through some of these sites. It was kind of a pain, honestly. Lots of scrolling, lots of ads, and the lines were just scattered all over the place. No real order to them.
I grabbed a notepad and started jotting down the lines I liked best. You know, the classics like, “It’s all ball bearings nowadays,” and “I’ll have a Bloody Mary, and a steak sandwich, and… a steak sandwich.” Stuff like that. I had a lot that needed organizing.
Making Some Sense of It
After I had a decent list, I thought, “Okay, how can I make this more… usable?” I decided to open up a simple text editor – nothing fancy, just * i dumped all the lines in there.
Then, I started sorting them. Just manually, you know? Put the ones about his disguises together, grouped the ones about his fake names, put the really snarky ones in another section. It wasn’t perfect, but it was better than nothing.
- It’s all ball bearings nowadays.
- I’ll have a Bloody Mary and a steak sandwich.
- Charge it to the Underhills.
It’s still a work in progress. Maybe someday I’ll turn it into something cooler, like a little website or something. But for now, it’s just my little collection of Fletch wisdom. It was a fun little afternoon project, anyway!
