"Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

"Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"

"Houston, we have a problem."

"You are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute."

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

"I'm gonna give you to the count of ten to get your ugly, yellow, no-good kiester off my property! One, Two, … TEN. Ha ha ha."


Four of the following five quotes fit the pattern suggested by the above quotations. Which one is wrong?
A. “And I always confuse Monet and Manet. Now which one married his mistress?”
“Monet.”
“Right. And then Manet had syphilis.”
“They also painted occasionally”

B. “Have you ever killed anyone?”
“Yeah, but they were all bad.”

C. "The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner."

D. "Now that's what I call high quality H2O"

E. “The code name for your assignment will be … Boris. And YOUR code name will be …”
“Natasha?”
“No … Doris”

Initially this looked like a list of quotations for which we are being asked to look for similarities of grammatical or similarities of meaning.

But then, looking at the Category, and being asked for Sequences, I'm considering that there is a match between the no. of letters in one quote with those of another (one to one correspondence, or better?); a bit like some of the phrases generated to regenerate Pi to 'x' places. 

I haven't gone into this, but there seems to be too wide a gulf between quotations and numbers for there not to be a relationship of a similar ilk.
