Classic Film Line Number Two

Man on stool hunched over a designing board.

He is drawing the plans for a giant nude statue of a sexy woman

Another man walks past and sees the plans and whistles

DESIGNER
What do you reckon?

MAN
If you build it they will come!

I thought of a sikmilar gag once. "The Orgasmotron: if you build it, they will cum".

Terribly crass though. Laughing out loud

To be honest I was just looking at a list of famous film lines to see if I could fit them into a skit without reveling the line until the end it's a great exercise in writing with a twist, especially as the reader is expecting a film line.
Have a go Gappy

I'll have a go then.

Taxidermists showroom.

Customer
I hear you stuff wild animals of any breed.

Taxidermist
Keep it down please, it's illegal but if you are interested
I can do you anything you like.

Customer
I'd like a snowy Owl

Taxidermist
Ok, but just know, if you refuse to pay I will shoot you.
The last customer tried it until I put my gun to his head.
I made him an Otter he couldn't refuse

That should be out on its own post Ste, as it hones your craft and you never know it may get others involved, which is a good thing.

But he didn't want my stinking badgers.
