: I have two character's who are huge movie buffs, their conversation is frequently peppered with movie lines. Can this get me in trouble with the person/corporation that owns the copyright to the movie.

: (characters leaving to query owner of New Age shop)
: "We're off to see the Wizard", I muttered as Mickey pulled out into traffic.

: (character being greeted at the entrance to a RenFaire)
: The fellow in motley leaned against the tree and gave his best Errol Flynn grin. "Welcome to Sherwood, milady!"

: (upon entering a party full of hostile people)

: "Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumby night!"

: Any suggestions?

Dear Ms. Corvus,
Without taking professional responsibility for my belief, I don't think context mention of names us likely to be actionable, at least as you have set forth.
