**Sauron** , **JSexton** , those are right. **minlokwat** , First Blood is correct. The other one must be very similar to Con Air, since you’re the second to guess that one, but it isn’t. Perhaps it is too obscure, but it’s one of those lines that stuck with me, and my wife and I use it to refer to situations where there’s something that you really want. Another hint: It was spoken by Damon Wayans. So we’re still looking for #3 and #2. Another line from the same movie as #2 is: “Do you own rubber gloves?” ---

I think #2 is from one of the “Fletch” movies, but I’m not sure which. I’ll guess the first one. ---

[QUOTE=pinkfreud] Is #3 from Dennis Hopper’s _Colors_? [/QUOTE] Yes! That wraps 'em up. Anyone got any more? I was thinking more about it, and I might be wrong about **BrainGlutton’s** , because that is actually “Your proposal is acceptable” (said by the bug, unseen, to Vincent D’Onofrio’s character). ---

1. And did Grolak think the Ulus were too ugly to save? 2. I was righ! I’m not paranoid – they’re all Spies!! 3. You resist my attempts to arrange an interesting death for you. 4. This machine is smarter than _God_. If it were to tell me to lead a tribe of people through the desert for forty years, I’d have to give it serious consideration. ---

Well, everyone said the ones I knew already, so here are a few more: 1. I shovel well. I shovel _very_ well. 2. I’ll cash her check in the morning. 3. I had a father, his name was \_\_ \_\_\_\_\_. (Name removed so as not to be too easy.) 4. Because when everyone’s special, no one is. 5. As-tro-nomical. (I tried to put in the dashes to get the pronunciation right.) ---
