List of voters for the quote

Ellie: [on Peter's hitchiking skills] There's no end to your accomplishments, is there? Peter: It's all in that ol' thumb, see?...that ol' thumb never fails. It's all a matter of how you do it, though. Now, you take number one, for instance. That's a short, jerky movement like this - that shows independence, you don't care whether they stop or not. You've got money in your pocket, see... Ellie: Clever! Peter: But number two, that's a little wider movement - a smile goes with this one, like this, that means you've got a brand new story about the farmer's daughter... Ellie: Hmm, mmm. You figured that out all by yourself! Peter: Number three, that's the pits. Yeah, that's a pitiful one you know. When you're broke and hungry and everything looks black. It's a long sweeping movement like this, but you've got to follow through though... Ellie: Oh, that's amazing. Peter: It's no good though, if you haven't got a long face to go with it. Keep your eye on that thumb, baby, and see what happens. [a car drives by without stopping] Ellie: I still got my eye on the thumb. Peter: Something must have gone wrong. I'll try method number two. Ellie: When you get to 100, wake me up. Peter: [after failing to get over a dozen cars to stop] I don't think I'll write that book after all. Ellie: Let me try. Peter: You? Don't make me laugh. Ellie: Oh, you're such a smart alec. Nobody knows anything but you. I'll stop a car and I won't use my thumb. Peter: What're you going to do? Ellie: It's a system all my own. [She pulls her skirt above her knee and the next car screeches to a halt]
