Of the definite answers, three are not what I'm looking for. One is my fault - I didn't account for there being a later movie version, especially since the first one is considered more of a classic. One may have been based ib a real life speech, but even if it is, it doesn't appear to be in the movie (and by the actor) you would think. The third is just wrong.
Of the ones with a question mark, all but three are right.
The ones with alternate answers given all include the correct answer.
Melly and ToLiveIsToFly have identified the three wrong answers, so the rest must be right and we can remove their clues…
