Which character in "Citizen Kane" said...

So you think you are a fan of "Citizen Kane." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. I always gagged on that silver spoon.

  2. [referring to Xanadu] Oh, a person could go crazy in this dump with nobody to talk to, nobody to have any fun with...49,000 acres of nothin' but scenery and statues. I'm lonesome.

  3. A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.

  4. The news goes on for 24 hours a day.

  5. [last lines] Throw that junk in.

  6. [to Jedediah Leland] Mr. Kane is finishing the review you started - he's writing a bad notice. I guess that'll show you.

  7. It isn't enough to tell us what a man did. You've got to tell us who he was.

  8. I don't think there's one word that can describe a mans life.

  9. He married for love. Love. That's why he did everything. That's why he went into politics. It seems we weren't enough, he wanted all the voters to love him too. Guess all he really wanted out of life was love. That's Charlie's story, how he lost it. You see, he just didn't have any to give. Well, he loved Charlie Kane of course, very dearly, and his mother, I guess he always loved her.

  10. Rosebud... Opening line; his last word as he dies.

  11. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Switzerland... he was thrown out of a lot of colleges.

  12. If I don't look after the interests of the underprivileged, maybe somebody else will, maybe somebody without any money or property...and that would be too bad!
