Don't know what I had going in to this, but so far so good.

Its not that I've memorized those movies, but I've seen the GWTW scene many times in clips.

A is the only one I could eliminate. I doubt I have any lifelines left -- sayonara.

Seen GWTW enough times to know that B is quoted correctly.

The trick is that the word "Frankly" is not in the book. It was added for the movie, which one could consider a misquotation. But for the purpose of this question, the movie quote is correct.
