To clean up some loose ends, the name of the character saying each quote was supposed to be given. It was Wheezer who said "One Pound of Lux" while giving directions from the radio to Mary Ann trying to make taffy in "A Tough Winter."
The "The Cops! Slow down to Sixty" is indeed from "Tire Trouble," and was spoken by J. William McAllister (see correction in next post) to Mickey Daniels. At least that's the way it appears in a low-quality print missing the first reel, but my other print doesn't have subtitles.
Then I'm supposed to come up with a new one, so here goes:
"Does Spanky expect me to believe this!?"

McAllister replies to Ernie's comment by saying, "I'm with you. Step on it".

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. My print was so blurry I coulnd't tell Ernie was trying to say something from the back seat, and McAllister must have turned his head to listen to Ernie instead of talk to Mickey. It might have helped if Mickey had a line between those two intertitles.

"Does Spanky expect me to believe this!?" For the sake of future generations, I wish that this thread not end on an unanswered question. So this quote was spoken by Butch in "Fishy Tales," upon reading a note delivered by Buckwheat claiming Alfalfa had a dislocated shin and couldn't fight. Buckwheat replies "Yes," but Butch clearly doesn't believe it, and sends a return note threatening that he and The Woim will "dislokate" the gang's necks.

Personally, I'd like to know how the phrase "O-tay" became associated with Buckwheat, when it was Porky who said it!

Here's another one: "Madame, you have two of the most beautiful, gorgeous, photographic subjects I have ever seen in my life!".

Here's another one: "Madame, you have two of the most beautiful, gorgeous, photographic subjects I have ever seen in my life!". Franklin Pangborn, aka Otto Phocus, in "Wild Poses." In the next scene, we see Laurel and Hardy dressed up as babies, along with some leftover props from "Brats."

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z56KYixY2oThe quote "Madame, you have two of the most beautiful, gourgeous photographic subjects I have seen in my life." was not spoken by Franklyn Pangborn, it was his sales person. Franklin Pangborn said, "Please, just one more bust." Quote: "What did Washington say as he crossed the Deleware?" Boop Boop be Doop! Boop Boop Be Doop!

Besides that, my recollection is that Murphy turned "Buckwheat" into a slur overnight with that Saturday Night Live routine, which happened to be exactly one year after Billie Thomas's death. I hadn't heard the name for years, and suddenly I starting hearing it used in a derogatory manner. I could be wrong; that was thirty years ago. Quote: "What did Washington say as he crossed the Deleware?" Boop Boop be Doop! Boop Boop Be Doop! In "School's Out" Miss Crabtree actually asked "What famous words did Washington utter as he crossed the Delaware?" The rest of the quote was spoken by Mary Ann Jackson. Now for one I hope is answered faster than my last one: "What did you dollies all run away for?"

Here's another one: "Knock that palooka down!" I figured that if I reviewed every available film I'd eventually get to this: Stymie, giving advice on Grandma's boxing match with Georgie, in "Fly My Kite." New quote, and I hope it takes less than 2 1/2 years to answer: "They'll hang us anyway - We might as well die fightin'--"

I believe that was said by Jackie Condon in "Tired Business Men" when the cops showed up at the barn.
"Fifty bucks? Oh, I thought you said 'fifteen'."

Farina to Joe in "Lazy Days" regarding a prize in the baby contest.
Minus one point for making me watch part of "Lazy Days" too far in advance of its time to be reivewed.
