The one where Gibbs is passed out on the docks when Barbosa steals the Pearl only to find that Sparrow cut the center out of the map, of course. ---

That’s it. This one still unanswered: “It’s like… someone invites you to a party, and you don’t show up, doesn’t really matter.” And a new one: “South Jersey, South Camden, south paw, ya know what I mean?” ---

I believe that last one is from the original _Rocky_; don’t know about the middle one. ---

Correct. I cut out the part where he said “He was standing in Philadelphia, and his left arm was pointing towards New Jersey, and that’s south” because I thought that made it too easy. And lets just say the 2 quotes have something in common. ---

I’ll have a guess at the connection being Sly, so let’s go with _First Blood_ Might be way off track there! ---

I’ve got a couple right without posting anything of my own, so here goes (I’m not sure, but I think I might be able to post 75% of the script of this movie and no one would get it): “Safety lights are for dudes!” ---

This couldn’t be from _ **The Devil Wears Prada** _, could it? I think it was a clue on _ **Jeopardy!** _ the other day. ---

_ **The Devil’s Own** _, maybe? With Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford? Or _ **Shake Hands with the Devil** _, with Jimmy Cagney? Either one would explain “The Devil **don’t** change.” ---

The devil line was from “8MM”, a brutally rough film with Nicholas Cage and Joaquin Phoenix.
