Still no. (Allen and Keaton weren't Russians in Sleeper, and that movie is even further from Napoleon's time than Manhattan.)
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
"You are the greatest lover I've ever had."
"Well, I practice a lot when I'm alone."
"Oh don't, Boris, please. Sex without love is an empty experience."
"Yes, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best."
"So who is to say what is moral?"
"Morality is subjective."
"Subjectivity is objective."
"Moral notions imply attributes to substances which exist only in relational duality."
"Not as an essential extension of ontological existence."
"Can we not talk about sex so much?"
"The question is: have I learned anything about life? Only that... only that human beings are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun. The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter. You know, if it turns out that there IS a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the worst you can say about Him is that, basically, He's an underachiever. After all, you know, there are worse things in life than death. I mean, if you've ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman, you know exactly what I mean. The key here, I think, is to... to not think of death as an end, but think of it more as a very effective way of cutting down on your expenses. Regarding love, heh, you know, what can you say? It's not the quantity of your sexual relations that count. It's the quality. On the other hand, if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into it. Well, that's about it for me folks. Goodbye."
"If I don't kill him he'll make war all through Europe. But murder... the most foul of all crimes. What would Socrates say? All those Greeks were homosexuals. Boy, they must have had some wild parties. I bet they all took a house together in Crete for the summer. A: Socrates is a man. B: All men are mortal. C: All men are Socrates. That means all men are homosexuals. Heh... I'm not a homosexual. Once, some cossacks whistled at me. I happen to have the kind of body that excites both persuasions. You know, some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all, you know... they become lawyers."
"You sing high, huh?" "Yes,I have a falsetto voice." "My grandmother, she's got a falsetto teeth."
"I love good music." "So do I. Let's get out of here!"
"This is the first time I've been out in a canoe since I saw The American Tragedy." "Oh, you're perfectly safe, Professor, in this boat." "I don't know. I was going to get a flat bottom but the girl at the boat house didn't have one." "Well you know, Professor, I could go on like this, drifting and dreaming forever. What a day! Spring in the air." "Who, me? I should spring in the air and fall in the lake?" "Oh, Professor, you're full of whimsy." "Can you notice it from there? I'm always that way after I eat radishes."
"You sing high, huh?" "Yes,I have a falsetto voice." "My grandmother, she's got a falsetto teeth."

"Who, me? I should spring in the air and fall in the lake?" "Oh, Professor, you're full of whimsy." "Can you notice it from there? I'm always that way after I eat radishes."
"Last week at this same hour I told you that Mrs. Moskowitz was expecting a blessed event. Well, last night, Mrs. Moskowitz had twins. O-kay, Mr Moskowitz!"
" As you know, there is constant warfare between the red and white corpuscles. Now then, baboons, what is a corpuscle?" "That's easy. First is-a captain, then is-a lieutenant, then is-a corpuscle." "That's fine. Why don't you bore a hole in yourself and let the sap run out? We now find ourselves among the Alps. The Alps are a simple people who live on a diet of rice and old shoes. Beyond the Alps lies more Alps, and 'the Lord Alps those that Alp themselves.' We then come to the bloodstream. The blood rushes from the head down to the feet, gets a look at those feet, and rushes back to the head again. This is known as Auction Pinochle. Now in studying your basic metabolism, the first thing we do is listen to your heart's beating. And if your Hearts are beating anything but Diamonds and Clubs, it's because your partner is cheating - or your wife."
"Let us examine the circulatory system. Here is the liver." "What- no bacon? I'd send that back if I were you."
Again, Audrey Hepburn does NOT appear in this movie. Audrey Hepburn was not in the cast of this movie. She is still not in the cast of this movie, and she will not be in the cast of this movie.
(If there's any confusion about that now, I don't know how it happened, I did my best to be clear and unambiguous.)

"Let us examine the circulatory system. Here is the liver." "What- no bacon? I'd send that back if I were you." "The liver, if neglected, invariably leads to cirrhosis. Of course, you are all familiar with the symptoms of cirrhosis." "Sure. So-roses are red. So-violets are blue. So-sugar is sweet. So-so are you."
"Now here is a most unusual organ. The organ will play a solo immediately after the feature picture. Scientists make these deductions by examining a rat, or your landlord, who won't cut the rent. And what do they find? Asparagus!"
"Dad, let me congratulate you. I'm proud to be your son." " My boy, you took the words right out of my mouth. I'm ashamed to be your father. You're a disgrace to our family name of Wagstaff, if such a thing is possible. What's all this talk I hear about you fooling around with the college widow? No wonder you can't get out of college. Twelve years in one college! I went to three colleges in twelve years and fooled around with three college widows!"
"Members of the faculty, faculty members, students of Huxley and Huxley students - I guess that covers everybody. Well, I thought my razor was dull until I heard this speech. And that reminds me of a story that's so dirty I'm ashamed to think of it myself. As I look over your eager faces, I can readily understand why this college is flat on its back. The last college I presided over, things were slightly different- I was flat on my back. Things kept going from bad to worse but we all put our shoulders to the wheel, and it wasn't long before I was flat on my back again. Any questions? Any answers? Any rags? Any bones? Any bottles today? Any rags? Let's have some action around here. Who'll say 76? Who'll say 17 76? That's the spirit! 1776!"
Hm. This movie enters the public domain in a few years. By the way, something in this movie is a lot more famous than the rest of this movie- exactly one word in this movie is very famous. I saw it referenced in a novel (a novel completely unrelated to this movie) a few years before it became even more famous (for reasons unrelated to this movie) due to a different movie. Also, the only existing source material for this movie includes a scene with a number of splices in it- which is distracting when you try to watch the scene, especially for the first time.

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

It might help someone else, someone who knows something about the other movies.
"Manhattan???"

No, I think Napoleon predated "Manhattan" by a couple of centuries.
Would it help to know that the main characters are Russian?

"Love and Death"????
My virtual arms are getting tired of all these wild swings. Maybe some clue might help us narrow this down further.

Finally nailed it. I saw the movie when it first came out, and I still remember the "practice when I'm alone" and "scared of dying" exchanges.
