Good job **witchwendy** on BH6. Still outstanding: BH8) I don’t rightly know. I just kinda woke up a-holding it. BH9) I’m a good shot; what do you want from me? BH11) You don’t know me. You only think you know me. A few more: BH12) I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. BH13) We’re bigger than US Steel! BH14) Oh, he’s just like any other man, only more so. BH15) I heard you were dead. BH16) Someone get me a fucking wiener before I die. ---

Hate it when I get involved in a trivia thread, and then miss a day of it. It’s like trying to follow twelve conversations at once while you catch up. 🙂 SK1: **Justin\_Bailey** gets it in one (sandwiched around another **Tremors** question and answer, no less) SK3: \*\*iamthewalrus[b/] pegged it fast. **GH3** was either the first **Gremlins** , or **Forbidden Planet** , or mebbe both. I know the same conversation with Robbie the Robot’s used in both flicks, anyway… **BH15** was **Escape from NY** (was it used in the second one, too? Can’t recall, now.) Which leaves: SK2) I’m gonna suck your brain dry. And, oh, howsabout: SK4) Hey, hold still, man, one’s comin’ for it! SK5) You be boss down there, I’m boss up here. SK6) Manual says kick the sunuvabitch, to get the rotors turnin’. ---

BH12 is from **The Shawshank Redemption**. Two of mine are still extant: RS1) Nothing funny – I just like talent. RS2) There is nothing between us. There has never been anything between us. Just air. and a new one or two: RS6) So this is hell. And there’s a crucifix in it. RS7) If this is torture, chain me to the wall! ---

Was **OG2** from **The Outlaw Josey Wales**? And while I’m WAGing… **RS2** sounds like a bit from **Grosse Pointe Blank**. ---
