Tournament II

by Foggy Brume/Thanks to Jenny G for her help (and beer!)

In the puzzle below, answers to the clues are striving to reach the championship. Clues go in order, first down and then to the right. Letters in yellow squares go onto the next round, while letters in blue squares contribute to a quote broken up by four extra letters. These four extra letters, plus the grid for the quote, should suggest the source of the quote. One clue answer is obscure, one "word" in the quote is not really a word.
