Movie quote help needed

What movie has the following dialogue: "Yes. Silence."?

This is a radio quiz in Finland and the line has been deliberately been transalated into finnish so that english line at the top is a direct reverse transalation. It could also be "Yes. Quiet."

I guess it's from "Man On The Moon" with Jim Carrey.

What was the movie that used the "That's Funny" line, followed by a gunshot?

"That's silly" was from Alice In Wonderland! Go figure.

I've never seen the flick, but I assume there aren't any gunshots in it (don't know about the dog barking). It seems like they put the effects in there to distract people. From now on I will only pay attention to the dialogue.

I'll have to suggest "Man On The Moon" if I'll get through to the quiz.

I beleive the original line was "that's nonsense".

The phrase was translated from English into Finnish, then back to English. I can see the word "silly" and "nonsense" being translated into the same word.

If you remember the movie very well, do you have any idea what the "gunshot" would be? I never saw the movie, though I read the book a long, long time ago.

The radio people said that the original line (in english) was "How silly". If there isn't a line like that in Alice In Wonderland, then I have to complain to them. Can anyone confirm is the line "That's silly" in Alice In Wonderland?

The quote was from "Man on the moon". Unfortunately I didn't get through and once again someone else took the money.

A new quote: "You're an idiot. Sit down and shut up". Could be: "You are an iditiot. Sit down and be quiet" or something. This is one is on the tip of my tongue...
