**Pushkin** got most of mine (yeah, #63 was Captain Terrell), and **Justin Credible** shares the credit for naming Muldoon specifically. **Priceguy** got Apoc’s last words, and “Now, young Skywalker, you will die,” really were Palpatine’s last words; I was wrong.

For #60, the character’s last words were ACTUALLY, “I can’t breathe!”

Capt. Jimmy Wilder, the wingman of Will Smith’s character in Independence Day played by Harry Connick Jr.

And #62 is, more accurately, “Thank you sonny-boy. You’re a lifesaver.” The answer:

The old man from Clerks who died while masturbating in the Quick Stop restroom.

91.) “Nah, Nah, just got the wind knocked out of me.”

92.) “Oh, crap.” (Hint: if you can get #60, you can get this one)

93.) “Are these the nihilists, Walter?”

I wondered if other people had been watching it on FXM recently. I watched about a half hour of it a few days ago.

I asked these earlier:

1. Shoot straight, you bastards, don’t make a mess of it

2. Such is life

3. Let’s do it.

4. how do you know?  
The first one has been answered. The other three haven’t. Here’s a hint - they come from different films, but they all have something in common.
