**Ludovic** is correct that eh31 (“Maybe we could build a campfire, you know, sing some songs!”) is from the ever-quotable _Aliens_.

Alas, **Bacon Salt** is incorrect as to both eh18 (“You… fascinate me”) and eh35 (“Something troubles you, my child”).

eh36. “I think I’ll head into town and check out the Thai nightlife.”  
eh37. “Just what you see on the shelf, buddy.”  
eh38. “I went out on ‘stethescope.’”  
eh39. “Serpentine! Serpentine!”  
eh40. “The Nixon who went to China is not the Nixon who came back.”

Before this thread slips into total zombieland, I have this weird urge to make sure everyone know the answers to my hangers. Never let it be said that I’m not thorough … (or delusional, considering that I think anyone gives a shit):

JB1: “I’m in too truthful a mood.”

- _ **Almost Famous** _

JB2: "The Army? What the fuck? What am I, Oswald, here? "

- _ **The Ref** _

JB6: “I don’t feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.”

- _ **Empire Records** _

Here are some more. I’ll post answers to the unanswered earlier ones another time:

Murder by Death

Here are some:

MH1: “I used to know a kid who lived there, he had the biggest tongue in the world.”  
MH2: “I couldn’t fuck a gorilla.”  
MH3: “You know Ted Williams the baseball player?”  
MH4: “Eight dollars for Beer Nuts? This room is evil.”

You got it.

[QUOTE=Mike H]  
Murder by Death  
[/QUOTE]

Also correct.

Seems like no one’s too interested in still guessing on the “Oh golly, gee damn!” quote. So, I’ll go ahead and spoil it. It’s from

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
