2. Humpin and pumpin is not Sheldon’s strong suit.  
Since this thread has lost it’s steam, I’ll just say that the first line is said to Dan Ackroyd and the second one to Meg Ryan.

_Trading Places_, where Winthorpe is trying to pawn his watch. But not just any watch. THE sport watch of the '80s, which he of course spent a lot more than 50 bucks on.

I love the pawn shop guy’s response: “that watch is so hot, it’s smokin’.” 😃

Yep! That’s it. I love Winthorpe’s snotty disbelief when he’s telling the guy “Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.” I love that line for referring to unnecessary features used to sell products, although I’ll more often go with a line from _The Wonder Years_: “Look, honey, it even has ‘Meal Minder’!”

I’ve got a few.

1. I am the super queen bug mother!

2. You were serious about that?

3. They say taupe is very soothing.

4. We killed for the sake of danger and for the sake of killing.

5. Used wine.

6. Who wouldn’t be tense? This music could make Will Rogers punch a nun.

7. Stateside I am Prince William without the weird family.

Gstaad, Paris, Rome and Monte Carlo are of course all in the same time zone.
