**Snarky\_Kong** got two of mine:

JB4: “When life gives you lemons, just say ‘Fuck the lemons,’ and bail.”- Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I’ve got three other hangers …

JB1: “I’m in too truthful a mood.”  
JB2: "The Army? What the fuck? What am I, Oswald, here? "  
JB5: “When it comes to huge openings, a lot of people think of me.”

And, what the hell, here’s two more:

JB6: “I don’t feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.”  
JB7: “You skin that smoke wagon and we’ll see what happens!”
