**Johnny Q** is correct about eh26 being from _Casablanca_.  
**tdn** is correct about eh29 being from _It’s A Wonderful Life_.  
**MadTheSwine** is correct about eh30 being from _Dragnet_.

Nobody got these three of mine, so I’m reposting them:

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

NIS.2 “Oh, golly gee damn!”

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

And I’ll add a few more:

NIS.6 “I don’t care about losing all the money. It’s losing all the stuff!”

NIS.7 “There’s always a little bit of heaven in a disaster area.”

Well, perhaps I can help you along. Here’s another quote from the same movie: “But I am mad about Jose. I honestly think I’d give up smoking if he asked me.”

Nope, sorry. All right, one more guess and if nobody gets it, I’ll spoil you all.

(One more hint - think ‘old school’ super-skinny & super-chic.)

Sorry if someone’s given the answers to these, I tried to make sure no one had.

eh18. “You… fascinate me.”  
The Matrix?

JB5: “When it comes to huge openings, a lot of people think of me.”  
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

NIS.4 “There are three major centers for transsexual surgery - Johns Hopkins, University of Minnesota, and Columbus Medical Center.”  
I guessed Transamerica then looked it up, now I know the answer but it wouldn’t be fair to say.

eh35. “Something troubles you, my child.”  
The Sound of Music?

And now for my contributions!

BS1.I have. Now sit down and don’t open your mouth again.

BS3.I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have elected the way of pain.

BS4.We really should stop fighting, we’ll miss the fireworks!

BS5.Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
