What’s funny is I guessed this one and I have never seen the movie, just read a review.

**labtrash** , the she-bitch one is from **Army of Darkness**.

How about these (from two different movies):

“I _had_ a nice clean place to stay, ma’am, and I left it to come here.”

“I already know an awful lot of people, and until one of them dies I couldn’t possibly meet someone new.”

Wouldn’t swear to it, but I think that’s Audrey Hepburn from _Charade_. Aren’t they coming out with a new version of that movie now?

Here’s one: “Only three men I know carry such a gun. I believe I’ve killed two of them.”

And another: “That was a stupid lie, easy to expose, not worthy of you.”

And lastly: “Inside the men were three bullets.”

I am having a terrible time recognizing any of the mystery lines, but I have another one:

“Oh, I never use seatbelts. I don’t believe in gravity.”
