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. BH13) We’re bigger than US Steel! BH14) Oh, he’s just like any other man, only more so. BH16) Someone get me a fucking wiener before I die. All from very big movies, but as they’re getting a bit stale, I’ll throw in an additional line from the same movie for each. BH8a) Linda, go get my guitar. It’s out there with that looney toon. BH9a) But I’m funny how? Funny like a clown? BH11a) I’m the guy who’s telling you the way it is. BH13a) We’re both part of the same hypocrisy, senator, but never think it applies to my family. (16 words; sorry) BH14a) I don’t mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one. BH16a) I’m not getting upset, Nurse Pilbow. I just don’t want anyone to slip me salt peter! ---
