Round Four - Film Quotes
Simply identify the films from which these quotes were taken

1. "I've never told anyone this before, but I hate flying. So it would be an awful shame to die now."
"You think that's bad? I owe 100 grand to a fat-ass loan shark which I spent on a stripper named Molly Mounds."
"Boy, that's bad."

2. "I am going to teach you the meaning of commitment. Fourteen years ago I was forced to make a commitment to an eight by nine cell, now you are going to be forced to make a commitment. You could say I'm here to save you."

3. "Okay. Here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No no no. Focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick..."

4. "Nice shoes. Italian. You hung up, Stu. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. I feel bad about the pizza guy. But I couldn't miss seeing you and Kelly reunited. You don't have to thank me, nobody ever does. I just hope your newfound honesty lasts. Because if it doesn't, you'll be hearing from me."

5. "You put a greased naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?"
"This is 1982, Bobbi, c'mon!"
"That's right, it's 1982! Get out of the '60s. We don't have this mentality anymore."
"Well, you should have seen the cover they wanted to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me."

6. "Look at them. They're just asking for it. Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out."

7. "Whoa! Your stock just went up in my book, my friend. Pop the hood, let me see what you got under... "
"Hey! Hotshot! What do you think you're doing? This is a Ford Grand Torino. It's not some crappy camper slash apartment. There are rules."
"Okay, okay."
"You do not bang on the hood. You never under any circumstances drive. And you will certainly not put your coffee mug on the roof of the car. In fact, no coffee in the car whatsoever. Coffee goes on the ground, you get in the car, we go."

8. "The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell... and those bars slam home... that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it."
