My head is a repository of many useless things, and movie quotes seem to be the most prevalent. In no particular order, with no particular theme, 20 movie quotes follow. What movies do they come from? Some should be particularly easy. Others perhaps not so much. (I apologize in advance if I’ve screwed any of the precise wording up.) 1. How about a Fresca? 2. I can’t have my wages garnisheed. 3. I want my rabbit! Give me my rabbit! 4. I was the next man, Dad. 5. You are like the buzzing of flies to Vigo. 6. Shutting down, sir. 7. Just shave him. Dry! 8. Like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target! 9. I was hot and I was hungry. 10. Talk about your massive potential for growth. I am the acorn that becomes the mighty oak. 11. That’s just what Jesus said, sir. 12. Jeanine, sorry about the bug-eyes thing. 13. The moose out front should have told you. 14. It tells me that this damn thing doesn’t work! 15. Litmus configureration test? 16. You Americans are all alike. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions. 17. She gives great headaches. 18. From that book suppository, sir! 19. We’ll take the foreplay as read. 20. Kick this ass for a man. ---

4.) Indiana Jones to Henry Jones in **Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade** 6.) C3PO to Luke Skywalker in **Star Wars** 8.) James T. Kirk deliberately taunting Khan Noonian Singh in **Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan**. 16.) The Nazi agent to Karen Allen’s character in **Raiders of the Lost Ark**. I should probably know others, but they don’t ring bells. ---

**Cal** , **Revenant Threshold** and **Duke of Rat** , those are all correct. **Joey P** , that isn’t the movie I was thinking of. Quote #7 is from a more recent film than _The Dirty Dozen_. ---

#5. **Ghostbusters II** , spoken by Janosz, but the quote is slightly off. As I remember it, he said it like “He is Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!” ---

**oft wears hats** , you are correct, and I apologize again if the wording is off. **Elendil’s Heir** , that’s not the one I had in mind. It was from a movie that came out in the 80’s. As a hint, the speaker was in handcuffs at the time. **Sublight** , you are correct. ---

**PaperBlob** , that’s right. Sorry, **lee** , but that’s not it. Here are the ones still at large: 1. I can’t have my wages garnisheed. 2. I want my rabbit! Give me my rabbit! 3. Just shave him. Dry! 4. I was hot and I was hungry. 5. Talk about your massive potential for growth. I am the acorn that becomes the mighty oak. 6. Litmus configureration test? 7. Kick this ass for a man. ---

**Joey P** - sorry, but as I said in post #6, that’s not the movie I have in mind. I’m sure of the wording on this one. The source is a movie from the 80’s. Another quote, that won’t automatically give it away (although it makes it a lot easier) would be “There are no friendly civilians, sir.” **Sefton** and **WreckingCrew** , those are correct. ---

#7 is from **First Blood** (Rambo). If #3 is supposed to be from **Con Air** , I believe the line is: “Put. The bunny. Down.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/id-these-movie-quotes/404920.md?page=2)
