These three all have something in common . . .

FM1: How would Christ benefit from me putting my tongue in someone’s mouth?

FM2: Well no kidding he’s dead. His brains are lying in the snow.

FM3: Dude, I know you’re feeling jealous right now. Don’t blame me because I have a sweet ass! I can’t help it!

Correct. I’m surprised you didn’t give the response.

“I read where you were shot 5 times in the tabloids.”  
“It’s not true. He didn’t come anywhere near my tabloids.”  
RA2: “You know what he’ll do when he comes back? Beat my teeth out, then kick me in the stomach for mumbling.”

**LM 5** : “Mother fucker! Food Eater!” is from “River’s Edge”.

Wow, thanks. Now I have Keanu Reeves interacting with Christian Glover in my head for the rest of the night.

2T1: “Diamonds?”

Hint: I was going to use the line about “rivers of flaming dragon piss” but I can’t remember the whole thing.

2t2: “Where’s your doggy? Where’s your underwear?”

**B 1** is paraphrased from Flash Gordon, yeah?  
(Princess Aura has a line in the middle about Ming never keeping his word, I think.)

**RW 1** is Innerspace.  
[sub]Damn, I haven’t seen that one in a long while, now.[/sub]

**hrhomer** : The glue bit was from the first one… the next time we see him after the line, he’s hanging from the ceiling with a bottle of Elmer’s Glue in his hand, IIRC.

SKEE 1: “We did it, we did it, we faced temptation and did not bend, goddamn praise the lord!”

SKEE 2: “Nobody move! I gotta go to the can again, and I don’t wanna miss nothin’.”

SKEE 3: “Fuck the bonus.”
