Answers to some of mine from yesterday:

**A:** “Kids, just kids, more kids.”  
**B:** “Stupid kids!”

Peter Falk and Jack Lemmon in _ **The Great Race.** _

“Enough talk!”

Ahrnold in _ **Conan the Barbarian** _.

“Ah, what family doesn’t have its little ups and downs?”

Katharine Hepburn in _ **The Lion in Winter** _.

“Did you ever spend ten nights in a Turkish bath looking for a man?”

_ **T-Men** _ (1947) with Alfred “Dr Crater” Ryder and a smokin’ hot June Lockhart.

**[SNAPPING FINGERS]** “Hej! Was haben Sie da?

Dresden SS officer in _ **Slaughterhouse-Five.** _

**A:** “If you want to know the time, it’s exactly 7:50.”  
**B:** “You are slow, darling. It’s 7:52.”  
**A:** “No, my darling. This watch has never lost a second since the day you gave it to me.”  
**B:** “I didn’t give it to you.”

_ **A Shot in the Dark** _, with Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer, and the suave and debonnaire George Sanders ( **A** ).

I found the following clip for “Muriel, what are you doing up there?” I knew it sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it without Googling:
