Reason of Harvey being a serial killer

In The Lovely Bones, why does George Harvey kill females? 31.48.57.254 (talk) 17:18, 5 July 2017 (UTC) [reply]

Answer the question, or stay out of it. This fruitless banter is not wanted. Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because that's what the typical serial killer does. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:24, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not what a typical man does, though. Even in fiction, men sometimes have reasons for turning. Something about a dollhouse? InedibleHulk (talk) 21:52, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the book and/or the film don't answer the OP's question, then it's anybody's guess. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. So the question is, do the book and/or film answer the question? --76.71.5.114 (talk) 08:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read the book and/or seen the film? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:52, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the answer is unclear from the book and/or film, then you need to find a user forum somewhere in which these things can be speculated upon. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:28, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Movie Trivia

In which 1996 movie does an actor repeat exactly a line of dialogue that he originally spoke in a 1993 film? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.36.254.250 (talk) 22:11, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Probably quite a few, if the line was something simple like "How are you ?". But, they probably have a more complex line in mind. You might start by looking for 1996 sequels of 1993 movies. StuRat (talk) 01:51, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The way the question is phrased, it doesn't have to be a sequel. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:57, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The 1996 actor may be quoting a line from a famous 1993 movie. I immediately thought of Pulp Fiction, but that a 1994 film. You could look at the category 1993 films and see if there's a particularly quotable one in there. It's a long shot though. --Xuxl (talk) 14:30, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Goldblum said "Must go faster" in Jurassic Park (1993) as they escape a T-Rex. In Independence Day (1996) he says the same line as they escape the ship. This is trivia because he didn't actually say it. In the commentary, the director explains that everyone loved that line in Jurassic Park so much that they edited it into the scene in Independence Day. So, it isn't actually just an actor repeating a line of dialog, it is the exact line of dialog repeated. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 15:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be specific, wasn't it a Captain Kirk style: "Must ... go ... faster" ? StuRat (talk) 05:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
