You know I see the same shit every day
The landscape looks so bleak
I think I’ll take the first one of you
That does something unique…

Wait a minute–according to that IMDB quote, you were right and the previous two had it backwards. The pellet was originally supposed to be in the vessel, but in the end it was in the flagon.
Bingo… oh yeah and thanks for the correction…

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
So, I’ll post another ‘popular music’ reference:
“The guy at the pump has got a lot of soul.
He sings ‘Merry Christmas’ to you just like Nat King Cole.”
OK, I’m done hitting myself. Guess I didn’t need to.
I still have out:
“When I’m by myself or with someone…uh, Burt.”
And here’s a new one:
“A dream date in knee pads with Paul Williams.”
Character 1 : “Are you aware that I can crush your skull like an eggshell ?”
Character 2 : "Please don’t crush my skull like an eggshell.
I believe that’s a reference to an earlier post in this thread.
The Tubes … What Do you Want From Life?
(singing) “Any old Ein, any old Ein, any-any-any-old Einstein;
Any old time, any old time, any-any-any-old timestream…”
“I had a yen for pink quail eggs”
Seeing I didn’t get any bites on this one…
Oh Jesus, you bring me peace
When you keeping away them po-lice.
…I’ll flip the card and reveal that it’s from the classic satirical novel A Confederacy of Dunces. Jones, the porter at the Night of Joy, sings this while sweeping out the place.
Here’s a movie line:
“Nice shoes. You make those in prison?”
Death ray, fiddlesticks. It doesn’t even slow them down.
That’s from the band The Chills, from the album Submarine Bells,and the song is Heavenly Pop Hit. I love that album 
It’s from an old Chas Addams cartoon. Originally in the New Yorker, I believe.
Here’s one… Geeez I’m goin’ crazy out there at the lake!
“…do you know where I can get a little action?” And I says “what kinda action?” And he says “woman action. What kinda guy do you think I am?” And I says “well, what kinda place do you think this is? We don’t do that kinda thing around here…”
That’s all I can remember at the moment. It’s from Fargo, the scene where the guy (presumably a bartender) is describing an encounter he had with a customer, and which eventually leads to Sheriff Marge finding the tan Cutlass Ciera.
No! Kudos to you for not google cheating!
You are not expected to understand this.
Where is the Wing of Zock?
Who is Egbert B. Gebstadter?
“This series of books is affectionately dedicated to the Type 650 computer once installed at Case Institute of Technology, in remembrance of many pleasant evenings.”
“It was as if, in some delightful way, his secret gave him a fortress, a wall behind which he could retreat into heavenly seclusion.”
“When I hear a man proclaiming himself and ‘average, honest, open fellow,’ I feel pretty sure that he has some definite and perhaps terrible abnormality to conceal—and his protestation of being average and honest and open is his way of reminding himself of his misprision.”

I forget the title, but I’m gonna guess that this is from Tulie Kupferberg’s Vietnam-era book on how to avoid the draft. (1001 ways to avoid the draft?)
It was Terry Jones.
This site on Jazz Age slang suggests that “posilutely” was in common use at the time. I just happened to have been browsing over 1920s lingo recently. Long story.
Try these, one obvious and one not so much:
“Did you get the grasses?”
“Can I eat first?”
“I don’t know why you’ll do things if you don’t mean it.”
“I meant it! I just forgot.”
“You can get the grasses after you finish eating.”
“Thank you.”
“And try to find some water. We’re going to need water if we plan on hiding out here.”
“Yes, comrade! Anything else?”
“…You know, we could’ve had these eggs in a quiche.”
and
“The years tear us apart
I’m young and now you’re old
But you’re still in my heart
And the memory won’t grow cold”
“What’s my first name?”
