Answer: Little Miss Sunshine

In this scene young Olive Hoover (Abigail Breslin) is about to perform in the Talent Competition of the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty pageant. She is being introduced by the pageant MC, and says line one to him (and the audience via the loudspeakers). The MC responds with line two. Unfortunately for the pageant officials, recently deceased Grandpa Edwin Hoover (Alan Arkin) was a sex addict and the "moves" he showed Olive are part of a striptease, done to the song "Superfreak" (also picked out by Grandpa Hoover)! This movie tells the story of Olive, who has her heart set on entering the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant in California. So, her dysfunctional family sets out from Albuquerque, New Mexico in a VW bus of questionable mechanical stability. While enroute to the pageant, Grandpa Hoover dies of a heroin overdose and the family stuffs his body in their trunk in order to make the tight schedule. In the 2007 Academy Awards "Little Miss Sunshine" won two Oscars, including Alan Arkin for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. It was also nominated for Best Picture (but lost out to "The Departed"). All of the other pageant contestants Olive was shown competing against in the movie had experience in real-life beauty pageants.

"All About Eve" won the Best Picture Oscar of 1950 and served as a "comeback" for Bette Davis, whose film career began to flounder in the late 1940s. In this sharp film, Davis portrays Margo Channing, a magnificent but aging stage actress. Anne Baxter is Eve Harrington, the deceitful and calculating young fan who worms her way into Margo's life and ultimately takes over her career, becoming the "next" Margo Channing. Bette Davis' character delivers this biting quote on the evening of her dinner party, when she begins to realize Eve's true motives in her life.

"Casablanca" was released in 1942 to both critical and popular acclaim. Its major stars are Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, and the film is still renowned and respected today.

Ilsa and her husband are trying to flee the Nazis by securing passage to America, and Rick wants to know why Ilsa abandoned him in Paris two years earlier. The movie culminates in a brilliant final scene in which Rick makes the ultimate sacrifice. Rick says the quote above as he bids farewell to Ilsa near the end of the film.
