Quotables #70: The Holiday Season
With the holiday season in full swing, we're dedicating our final Quotables of the year to films that take place during Christmas and Hanukkah. Each of the following snippets of dialogue are spoken during the holidays. Your job is to guess which movies they're from.

Man: How about a nice football?
Narrator: Football? Football? What's a football? With unconscious will, my voice squeaked out 'football.'
Man: Okay, get him out of here.
Narrator: A football? Oh, no, what was I doing? Wake up, stupid! Wake up!
Boy: No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Man: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
Movie 1:
Boy: Everybody in this family hates me!
Woman: Then maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.
Boy: I don't want another family. I don't want any family. Families suck!
Woman: Just stay up there. I don't want to see you again for the rest of the night.
Boy: I don't want to see you again for the rest of my whole life. And I don't want to see anybody else either.
Woman: I hope you don't mean that. You'd feel pretty sad if you woke up tomorrow morning and you didn't have a family.
Boy: No, I wouldn't.
Woman: Then say it again. Maybe it will happen.
Boy: I hope that I never see any of you jerks again!
Movie 2:
Man: We're kicking off our fun, old-fashion, family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old, front-wheel-drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.
Girl: We're not coming all the way out here just to get one of those stupid ties with Santa Clauses on it are we?
Man: No, I have one of those at home.
Movie 3:
Man: Tell me, exactly, how long it is that you've been working here?
Woman: Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what, two hours?
Man: And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?
Woman: Umm, two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and thirty minutes.
Man: I thought as much.
Woman: Do you think everybody knows?
Man: Yes.
Woman: Do you think Karl knows?
Man: Yes.
Woman: Oh, that is bad news.
Man: Well, I just thought maybe the time had come to do something about it.
Woman: Like what?
Man: Invite him out for a drink, and then after about twenty minutes, casually drop into the conversation the fact that you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
Woman: You know that?
Man: Yes. And so does Karl. Think about it. For all our sakes. It's Christmas.
Woman: Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss.
Movie 4:
Woman: I had the most terrible vision.
Man: That's splendid!
Woman: No, it was about your Christmas. There was smoke...and fire!
Man: That's not my Christmas! My Christmas is filled with laugh and joy...and this, my Sandy Claws outfit. I want you to make it.
Woman: Jack, please listen to me. It's going to be a disaster!
Man: How could it be? Just follow the pattern! This part's red, the trim is white -
Woman: It's a mistake, Jack!
Man: Now, don't be modest. Who else is clever enough to make my Sandy Claws outfit?
