Lines in movies you don't get.
So I was watching Boiler Room the other night and it was the scene where all the brokers were being interviewed by Ben Affleck. At the end of the scene he tells them all he needs a few hundred dollars from each of them for something to do with the Series 7 test (dont remember what exactly). Giovanni Ribisi gives him the money and Affleck says "Whats that, last nights erection?". I've seen this movie countless times, and each time I am trying to figure out what he's talking about. Can someone explain??

using that as a catapult for my memory....there's a part where a girl says..."are you making a sissy?" Maybe it's not sissy but whatever it was I've never heard that before...I know what it means cuz it's explained immediately after what she means but...I've never heard that.

There are a bunch of lines in Star Wars that I didn't understand until I used the DVD subtitles.
"Locust falls in attack position."

I've never understood the this line used in one of the Robocop Movies.
Bad Guy after seeing Robocop: "Awwwe Fuck Me!"
I just don't get that line. It makes no sense to me in life, and it makes no sense in movies.

Any lines in movies that refer to Sarah Jessica Parker's character as being beautiful or attractive.
I don't get it. Are they being sarcastic? Are they making fun of her?

Really? That's a fairly common expression. It means, "I'm screwed".
