[QUOTE=KatiRoo]  
I think this is essentially the same ending as for **Shodan** ’s post (#80 - Angel Heart), but I think the character is actually \*Harry \* Angel, not _Johnny_ Angel  
[/QUOTE]

[SmartArse] Actually the correct answer is Johnny Favorite. [/SA]

Joe Montegna’s character from House of Games, I can’t remember the character’s name. (Didn’t he have several?)  
100. “I’m right here, coppers! I’m well armed, and I know where you live!”  
(last or next to last words.)  
ETA: No one’s gotten “But it still Hurts!” ?

I just realized both of mine are from the same movie.

She didn’t die, but those were her last words in the movie.

Yup, that would be the ellipses.

Another one, this is very easy.

May as well throw this one in as well. If you get the first, this will be easy.

**Sampiro** ’s words seem to pretty clearly indicate that we’re talking about last words as in “then they died”.

John Lithgow from _Twilight Zone: The Movie_, as he’s riding the ambulance. We don’t see him die but I guess that’s implied.

Either Thelma or Louise. I know Thelma said “Let’s keep going,” and then they kissed, and then Louise floored it, but I forget which one actually had the last word.
