The Dinner List- Fictional Character Edition

"If you could have dinner with 3 people, living or dead, who would you pick?"

I love that question, but I can never really answer it. Sometimes I roll that question around in my head when I can't sleep. So, why not put it into a list? There's just too many to pick just 3 in any category. So, this list will actually be given in 3 parts at different times. 3 parts? yeah: living, dead, and fictional characters.

I've already cover those currently alive who I would like to dine with. I've also covered those who are no longer among the living. This is a list of fictional characters who fit the bill. Like all lists, this is in no particular order.

1. Lisa Simpson
2. Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon)
3. Rabo Karabekian (Breakfast of Champions)
4. Michael Corleone (The Godfather trilogy)
5. Billy Jack
6. Jean Valjean (Les Miz)
7. Don John (Much Ado About Nothing)
8. Obi-Wan Kenobi
9. Indiana Jones
10. George Bailey (It's a Wonderful Life)
11. Bruce Banner/The Hulk
