First mystery movie: “I’ve been ionized, but I’m OK now”

Second mystery movie: “I’ll have a warm beer with a human hair in it”. (Somewhat paraphrased, but close enough.)

Another line from second mystery movie: “Are you sure it’s _confident_ heterosexual?” (Once again, paraphrased, but close enough.)
