Correct, however I just now discovered that the full quote is:  
“Please! I wanna go home! I’m getting a headache! I’m hungry! I haven’t had a stress pill! I haven’t had a bath in seven hours! I’m telling you, I’m not accustomed to this. I need my orb! I want to relax. Look at me! Look at me. I’m shaking!”

I posted one from Sleeper twice and nobody got it! One of my favorites.

Memorable but semi-obscure closing line from a movie:

“No thanks, I don’t want any part of it.”

Previous line from same character, earlier in the movie:

"Well, it wasn’t the kind of expression that would get him a quick loan at the bank.

???

I put “sleeper” in search prior to posting and got nothing, so went ahead with posting, and when I search it _now_, it shows mine and the following two “sleeper” posts, but _still_ not your previous two, concluding that discourse is apparently **Llama\_Llogophile** phobic.

(probably much “better known”, but my favourites: “Woof, woof, my name is Rex. Woof, woof”, and the doctor non-chalantly brushing off cigarettes as being perfectly good for you, as he takes a drag)

Correct.

“I don’t need help.”  
“Not _my_ diagnosis.”
