Stump the dope with your most obscure reference

The snippets are all from “Citizen Kane” - the first is Mr. Bernstein to the freight hauler, the second is Jed Leyland trying to get some cigars smuggled into the rest home, the last is Susan Alexander to Kane, inviting him up to her apartment.

Millette and Raquello were the orchestra leaders in Welles “War of the Worlds.” The radio announcer kept cutting back to hotel ballrooms for musical interludes awaiting further bulletins about the “invasion.”

Sorry, but no. I think that’s the one here with the most incorrect guesses.

There are still several others of mine no one has gotten (or even guessed at). Time for a recap:

“I knew something was wrong when I woke up inside the coffin.”

What did Brad Steele and Brad Kent have in common?

What did Katherine Mortenhoe do to make her a (fictional) celebrity?

“If Jesus can do anything, he could make a robot with a soul.” (By far the most obscure)

Sitcom whose theme song was written and performed by John Prine.

One of his archenemies was Bushwack’r (though he never knew it).

In this film about (among other things) religion and miracles, all the actors playing Catholic priests or nuns were Jewish.

Characters:
Go-Captain Alvarez
Willy McGilly

Shoot, someone else saw Screen Door Jesus?

Willy’s from Lafferty, isn’t he? Reoccuring character. I do like his work.

As far as the Brads, the only thing that I can see is Superman.

A look of horrified astonishment, something like this: :eek:

Followed by:

“I’m takin’ her down, Davey!”

I should have known.

It’s a song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “Whistle Down the Wind.” Jim Steinman was the lyricist, so there’s no surprise that Meatloaf would end up doing a version.

Very good!

“Leaning over your fortieth masterpiece
You must have loved the color of these violins”

You were thinking of Dodger from Disney’s “Oliver”
but it does predate it.

Since nobody has gotten mine, here’s a recap with hints :

“But I’m a mother. Shouldn’t it be ’ Matron of Evil ’ ?” : Book, humerous. Involves movies.

“Kesho !!” : Video game, playstation.

“I am Dionisio Vega. Welcome…to my domain.” : Video game, playstation.

“I have seen just one of these weapons destroy a whole company of giant robot spiders” : Book, humerous. Involve werewolves.

“Woo Woo ! Mass destruction !” : Comic Book.

“…for some more martial molars” : Comic Book.

“We want you to become a wasp” : Sci fi book.

Some more :
“Then you may already be a fourteenth-generation copy of the original Jamail. You just may be getting a little fuzzy around the edges.”

“That is not a word I like. I prefer to regard myself as an adventureous businessman, a dealer in the transfer of expensive commodities.” He smiled broadly and snapped his fingers. “Now these are pirates.”

“Who makes these things, anyway ?”

Since no one has done mine yet (remember this:)

I’ll throw out some easy ones:
“I am Arrowroot, son of Arrowshirt, son of Aeroplane!”
“You done shot my Pa and drove my sister crazy. Fill yer hand you son of a bitch!”

Unable to resist an easy one, ddgryphon’s:

is from the wonderful Harvard Lampoon Bored of the Rings

Bored Of The Rings :smiley:

Minor Spiderman villain, The Walrus

“Don’t touch my eyes!”

“And that is why this is a skillet.”

ddgryphon: since everyone got your “Bored of the Rings quote”, isn’t your “You done shot my Pa and drove my sister crazy. Fill yer hand you son of a bitch!” from True Grit, the movie, spoken by John Wayne?

Mine: “Peanuts are good drivers”

Originally a Defenders villian, but yes.

“Fill your hand, you son of a bitch” may be from True Grit but I don’t recall any mention of a father or sister. As I recall, “Fill your hand” is Rooster Cogburn’s response to “That’s mighty bold talk from a one-eyed fatman.”

Any takers?

Wasn’t that a graffito on the wall of the dungeon in the first Wizardry game? Put there by his arch enemy Werdna?

A few more, probably easy:

“I’m the locksmith, and I’m the locksmith.”

“Can you keep a handle on things here?”
“I cAn puT hAndLes on loTs of ThIngs.”
“Good enough.”

“There is nothing between us. There has never been anything between us. Just air.”

What animal goes, “moof!”?

“Kawaikune otemba!” (Un-cute tomboy!)

Who are you, and how did you get in here?

Beware Technical Note 31! (And the laser printer)

Robu no baka!

It’s from an episode of Police Squad, the question is "who are you, how did you get in here?

The dogcow.
