Cheater, no points for you.

Still waiting on my other one. It’s from an older movie.

BC2: I don’t trust a man who makes toys in a land where children are forbidden.

But if you’re going to take a quote from that movie, surely it must be “You’ll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution.”

Points to **El Perro Fumando** , **NailBunny** and **williambaskerville** for correct answers, leaving only:

RA2: “She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up.”

EPF4: _High Fidelity_

MTS4: _Tombstone_ is one of several movies with that quote.

TMG2: _Hot Shots!_ And I believe it’s “Not playing to win…”, not “Playing to lose…”.

Congrats to **Draelin** , **Robot Arm** and **Priceguy** for their correct answers. The only one left from me is

EPF1: Alcohol equals puke equals smelly mess equals nobody likes you.

I’ll also add in:

EPF6: The Pope may be French, but Jesus was English.

Chinatown, perhaps? I know the famous line is actually the second to last line, and the actual last line is something like this.

That’s from **A Knight’s Tale,** I love that movie.

I’ll submit some:  
EoA1: “I don’t believe a man can consider himself fully content until he has done all he can to be of service to his employer.”  
EoA2: “What is it with this man? Did I kill a relative of his in battle, perhaps? His boy, God forbid?”  
EoA3: “He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing.”
