I’ll throw a few out there-

NIS.1 “I smell something! It’s - Good God! - FRANKS AND BEANS!”

NIS.2 “Oh, golly gee damn!”

NIS.3 “…[S]upposing that man had shot you? Is it worth risking your life over ten dollars, two credit cards, a hairbrush, and a lipstick?”

NIS.4 “There are three major centers for transsexual surgery - Johns Hopkins, University of Minnesota, and Columbus Medical Center.”

NIS.5 “I want you to have a party and be gay. Very, very gay!”
