Well...the question actually asks you to choose the one that is not a misquote, if you read carefully

Edward Meeks never admit you were wrong. The people who comment here are proud and like to complain that the system is rigged against them and refuse to be held accountable. Learn your lesson. Blame someone or some small detail for your mistake.

John E Peterson

Good question. I didn't read it carefully and got it wrong.

Linda Johnson

I checked the possible answer from Cool Hand Luke and it was said by Martin Stouther? One way and repeated by Paul Newman the other so I guess both are right. I like Guns n Roaes version best lol

Peggy, close buy no cigar. Good evening, Clarice. Commas are imortant.

What we've got here... is the correct quote from the movie. LOTS of sites on Google if you don't believe the author.

Carlton Oneal Guess, to make it easier for you, they could have posted the correct answer in red, or in capital letters. "Which of these is correct?", is obviously not quite clear enough for you.

Peggy Brown

Good evening Clarice

Gary Gambino

Tom DeLisi: IOW, a bunch of Trump voters.

Randall Wayburn Jr. Was it? Like I said, I haven't seen the movie. I've always thought and heard "Good evening, Clarice." That's what my hubby always says and he's seen it several times.
