From one of my favorite musicals, _ **Singin’ In The Rain** _. It’s a great dance number with Gene Kelley and Donald O’Connor.

Okay, how about, _Watch The Birdie_ sung by Martha Raye. What picture was it in?

1. “I’ve got apple juice in my eye!” He should have listened to his father.

2. “The situation is so bad, it is the worst it has ever been!”

3. “Where are we going?” “PLANET X!”  
“When are we going?” " REAL SOON!"

Some easy ones -

“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

“Obviously, Gloria, you are a young lady gifted with considerable economy of language. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.”

A theme song -

"Look - it’s the man who flies around like an eagle,  
Look - it’s the enemy of all that’s illegal,  
Look - at the muscles in those arms, they’re like hammers,  
Look - it’s some nut who flies around in pajamas.

That’s no nut, boy - that’s…"

Regards,  
Shodan  
Look - it
