[QUOTE=CalMeacham] That sounds like Orson Welles as the Studio Executive at the end of **The Muppet Movie**. [/QUOTE] Perhaps, but that’s not where the quote comes from. It’s actually said by a more important person than Orson Welles as studio executive (though I know that’s hard to imagine!) ---

But the real quote is more like “I dislike those little slices of death”, said by Saknussem (David Thayer) to Lindenbrock (James Mason) when he is asked why he isn’t sleeping.

We got both kinds – country and western. 4. You only moved the headstones! 5. In Philadelphia, it’s worth fifty bucks. 6. Only one thing in the world could’ve dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window. 7. Humpin and pumpin is not Sheldon’s strong suit. 8. Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean right. 9. Sometimes I guess there just aren’t enough rocks. 10. Deserve’s got nothing to do with it. ---

**BrainGlutton** and **bouv** , you’re correct. **commasense** , _A Christmas Story_ is correct, but the other two are not. **bouv** , I just can’t think of the source of your remaining one.
