I thought it might be fun to play hangman with some of our favorite DA quotes. Just in case anyone's unfamiliar, you guess letters, one at a time, and I fill them in where they should go until someone is able to guess the quote. Your goal is to identify the quote after guessing as few letters as possible, so choose wisely! Whoever is able to correctly identify the quote first gets to post the next quote.

To get us started, I've picked two lines from an s1 conversation. Please also identify who says each line when you're ready to guess the quote. :)


“---’- --- ---- ----- -------?”

“---- -- --- -----? -'-- ----- -- ---- -- -------. - --- ---- ---- --- - ---- -- --- ----. - ----- -- ------ ------ --- ------- -- ---- ----- --- --- ------. -- -- -- ----- ------ --- -- ------ -----. -- - ---- ----- --? ---, - -- ----!”

Happy guessing!

E!

Here you go:

“---’- --- ---e ----- -------?”

“---- -- --- -----? -'-e ---e- -- ---e -- -------. - --- ---- -e-e --- - ---e -- --e -e-e. - ----- -- ---ee- -e---- --e ------e -- ---- ----e --- --e e----e. -- -- -- ----- ---e-- --- -- ------ -----. -- - ---e ----- --? -e-, - -- ---e!”

Letters guessed so far: e

"T"

“---’t --- ---e ----t ----t--?”

“---t -- --- t----? -'-e ---e- -- ---e t- ----t--. - --- ---- -e-e --- - ---e t- --e -e-e. - ----- -- ---ee- -e---- t-e ---t--e -- t--- ----e --- t-e e-t-te. -t -- -- t---- ---e-t --- -- ----t- -----. -- - ---e ----t -t? -e-, - -- ---e!”

Letters guessed: e, t

“Don’t you care about Downton?”

“What you you think? I've given my life to Downton. I was born here and I hope to die here. I claim no career beyond the nurture of this house and the estate. It is my third parent and my fourth child. Do I care about it? Yes, I do care!”


OH YEAH.

Unbelievable.

Your turn, Mme Bex!

Oh man.

You has some serious Hangman skills dude.

*applauds*

“---‘- --- - ----‘- ----. ---‘- ---- - --------- ---- ------- ----- --- ------- ---- --- --- --. -----‘- ---- -- -- ---- ----, --- ----.”

I don't think we can match your skill, Bex, but I'll hope to get us off to a decent start with 'a'

“---‘- --- a -a--‘- -a--. ---‘- ---- a ------a-- --a- -a----- ----- a-- ------- ---- --- -a- --. -----‘- ---- -- -- --a- --a-, --- ----.”

I'm going for "S"!

“S--‘- --- a -a--‘s -a--. S--‘- --s- a ---s-a-- --a- -as---s ----s a-- ------s ---- s-- -as --. -----‘s ---- -- -- --a- --a-, --- ----.”

Letters guessed: A, S

I'm saying T!

edit: Thats okay Ariadne! :)

Sarah O'Brien: "She's not a lady's maid. She's just a housemaid that fastens hooks and buttons when she has to. There's more to it than that, you know."

ETA: Sorry Vero, didn't see your post before I typed my reply. :(

I'M NOT PLAYING WITH YOU ANYMORE!!!!

(And yes!! A grudging well done!)

Okay, Bex and I are not allowed to play together anymore because we are scarily on the same wavelength, it seems. :)

This is a short, but hopefully less well-known quote...

“---- ----- -- --- ----- -- ------ -- -- --- --- --- ---- ------ --?”

Let's have that T now then. ;)

R?

(After staring at it for ten minutes without blinking, I cannot do it without letters, damnit!)

“---t ----- -- t-- ----t -- ------ -- -- --- --t --t ---- ------ --?”

Letters guessed: t, r (there are no r's!)

A!

*glares at Vero*

“--at ----- -- t-- ----t -- ------ -- -- --- --t --t ---- --a--- --?”

Letters guessed: t, r, a

E, baby!

S, dude.

“--at ----- -e t-e ----t -- ------ -- -e --- --t -et ---e --a--e --?”

Letters guessed: t, r, a, e

“--at ----- -e t-e ----t -- ------ -- -e --- --t -et ---e --a--e -s?”

Letters guessed: t, r, a, e, s

L!

“--at ---l- -e t-e ----t -- l----- -- -e --- --t let l--e --a--e -s?”

Letters guessed: t, r, a, e, s, l

N!

“--at ---l- -e t-e ---nt -- l---n- -- -e --- n-t let l--e --an-e -s?”

Letters guessed: t, r, a, e, s, l, n

“What would be the point of living if we did not let life change us? ;)

s?

Yay, Vero! Though before I award full points, can you also identify who said it? (Bonus if you remember when, as well!) :)

Can't wait for the next quote!

I'm sure it was Carson who said it but I don't really remember the context.

Okay here's the next quote:

- ------ ---- --- -------- ---- --- ---- -- -- - -- ----- ------- -- ----- --
-------- -----. ---'- ---- ------?

Wasn't the context when he and Hughes were having their awesome scene talking about Joe and Hughes said she was a different person from the farm girl she used to be? And then my heart broke into a thousand pieces of love?

E?

Yes to both! Carson and Hughes are so sweet together.

And I'll also guess: s.

- -----s -ee- --e --ess--- ---- -e- ---e -- s- - -- -e-s- --e-e-- -e s-ee- --
se-----e ----s. -s-'- ---- e-----?

Letters guessed: e,s

Hit me with a 'T', dude!

Here you go:

- -----s -ee- t-e --ess--- ---- -e- ---e -- s- - -t -e-st --ete-- -e s-ee- --
se----te ----s. -s-'t t--t e-----?

Letters guessed: e,s,t

I!
