ah... maybe i should just give them up as too obscure. but here's hoping:
1. You're the smartest girl I ever spent the night with on the train.
2. Character 1: I was thinking about what you were saying the other day, about the orientation film being bullshit. Character 2: Yes? Character 1: I think maybe you're on to something. Character 2: And fifty other lines to get into a girl's pants.
3. Was you ever bit by a dead bee?
4. Character 1: That Bacardi flavoring certainly makes a difference, doesn't it? Character 2: Oh yeah... Nine times out of ten.
5. Character 1: All right - what's your idea of heaven? Character 2: Room service.
6. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
7. The prettiest sight in this fine pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges.
8. Come now, angel, stop shaking. I don't wanna hurt you - I'm trying to help you.
9. (with extreme Valley Girl accent) Oh my god! You're like totally black!
10. Listen, the last man who said that to me was Archie Leach, just a week before he cut his throat.
11. Character 1: The weather good enough to get me up in the daytime? Character 2: Sometimes it rains, sometimes the sun's out... Character 1: And how about the women? Character 2: Sometimes it rains, sometimes the sun's out.
12. Character 1: You know what's wrong with you? Character 2: No, what? Character 1: Nothing.
13. And so she walked out of our lives forever.
14. Hey, sheriff, you forgot your pants.
15. Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking.
I fear that #4 is from "Guys and Dolls", the sequence in Havana. If it is, Character 1 is Sgt. Sarah Brown, and Character 2 is Obidiah "Sky" Masterson.
I haven't sat through it in a while. I should watch it again. I used to not like it, because it was 150 minutes and seemed to drag. And I've never really liked the Havana sequence, only because I view Masterson getting Brown there as, shall we say, unseemly? Yes I know it all works out in the end.
i get what you're saying, but i actually really enjoy that bit because of the way he plays it. sure, first he tries to get her drunk... but then he's all concerned with trying to get her to eat something, which is very cute. and the way he watches her throughout all that, like he's seeing something he never expected - he's so enamored with her, and you see it in his eyes.
plus i like the fight scene. if only because she's the better fighter, whereas Masterson gets sent flying more than once. ;)
(but then, i've been discovering a lot of old movies in general - and musicals in particular - lately. there's era-specific things i've gotten used to glossing over for the sake of the general enjoyment, if you know what i mean. so maybe i've got blinders on, i dunno.)

#3 is "To Have and Have Not."
I've never seen the film, but I happened by chance to read a "News of the Weird" article where the line was quoted on an article about someone being bitten by a dead snake. Odd, yes, but I immediately thought of this obscure quote you've been using since the game began.

Yeah, I thought no one would ever get that quote. You've used it so many times, and no one has even tried to guess it. I had no clue what movie it was from, and so I just never paid much attention to it until it was quoted in that article.
