Let's start at the beginning: Pumping Iron?

Ah, and interesting guess, but incorrect.

Here's a hint: he also says, "I'm a cop, you idiot!"

[blob]

Hrm.  Kindergarten Cop?

[Kris Johnson]

Hrm.  Kindergarten Cop?

It's not a tu-mah! Point to blob!

The translation of the German dialog (according to Wikipedia) is "This makes me stinking mad. Now I'm mad." That's so unlike the Arnie we all know and love.

Let's recap, shall we?

Question 1

What do these people all have in common (apart from the fact that they are allegedly fictional)?

• Bruce Banner
• Becky Conner
• Emperor Palpatine
• Tom Ripley
• Jack Ryan
• Darrin Stephens

Answer: Each has been portrayed by multiple actors. (blob)

Question 2

What is this revolting substance? C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅

Answer: Aspartame. (Natalie)

Question 3

In which Arnold Schwarzenegger film can the Governator be heard saying "Das macht mich stocksauer. Jetzt bin ich sauer."?

Answer: Kindergarten Cop. (blob)

Standings

blob has 2 points.
Natalie has 1 point, but could steal the victory if she correctly identifies this week's quiz theme (remember to show your work).
Remember that the theme is worth 2 points, so there's still an opportunity for a dark horse to emerge and tie the game, which would send us into sudden death overtime.

[blob]

Could the theme be "imposters"?

[Kris Johnson]

Could the theme be "imposters"?

I'm feeling remarkably benevolent in my post-lunch stupor, so I'm going to award you the points and declare you the winner.

The actual theme: SUBSTITUTES.

Schwarzenegger went undercover as a substitute teacher in Kindergarten Cop; an artificial sweetener, aspertame is thus a sugar substitute; all of the fictional characters listed in Question One were portrayed by multiple actors when the originals were no longer available/interested/marketable.

blob is hereby declared the Minister of Suspicious Substitutions and Unreasonable Facsimiles.

[Nycteris]

So when the copier doesn't work I blame him?

[Kris Johnson]

So when the copier doesn't work I blame him?

I think that's perfectly reasonable.

By extension, we'll blame him anytime something goes wrong with cloning, too.

[blob]

The trick is blaming the correct me.

Bwahahaha.

[Kris Johnson]

The trick is blaming the correct me.

Bwahahaha.

That's only important if you value concepts like "fairness" and "justice".

I say blame and reprimand every last one of you!
