I think a re-make was done, with the "boy" in question being black, though in the original he was Puerto Rican.
What does it mean to "pretend to use these quotes"?
So, are you up; or are you asking me to go again?

He was using hyperbole, a legitimate figure of speech. (It was not literally true-to-fact.) He could have said "Don't even think about posting those quotes" and carried the same (non-literal) meaning.
It's his turn, but if you have another, he probably won't mind if you go again.
"We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast Peter. It's a few years, and it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it."
I'm sure that's a Sherlock Holmes film, not because I've seen it, but because, when I was in college, my roommate read the exchange between Holmes and Watson which was the same as between you two.
I don't remember which story it was, but I'll guess "The Seven Percent Solution."

The movie was "Sherlock Holmes", (the Guy Ritchie version with SH and Dr W as action heroes.) You said the answer, so I count that.
FYI- the scene where the guys come to steal the evidence, and call in the big French dude, 'Dredger", gave us these exchanges between SH and Dredger. Dredger was not in a hurry, and told SH to run.

Crimson Tide?

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."

One of my all time favorites:
"We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast Peter. It's a few years, and it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it."

Some Chemistry teacher?

Did Talk-To-Text fail you on that one? because if it did, yeah, that would be another quote from the same movie.
To which I would respond, "Hit him back!"
If it's not a talk to text fail, then no, the movie has nothing to do with a chemistry teacher.

All right. All kidding aside, I'm reasonably sure this is "HOOK."

Next movie.

"How do you know?"

"Well, I may not have a choice, hm? After all, I may be paying the rent on my own, soon. Thanks to you."
"Get that out of my face."
"It's not in your face, it's in my hand."
"Get what's in your hand out of my face."
"More importantly, let's see what he was trying to dispose of."

Translation (if this helps):
"Wait a moment, please."
"I'm not in a hurry."
"Run little rabbit, run."
"With pleasure."

That's accurate, AFAIK. Out of curiosity, from where did you dredge up that translation?

Capital.
I will now promptly forget that information, as it is of no practical use to me.

I imagine you wouldn't care if the Sun circled the Earth or vice versa, as the difference isn't of practical use.

It was either A Study in Scarlet or The Sign of Four.
In any event, I was thinking Sherlock Holmes as well.

SH was bothering Watson, who was planning on getting married- and thus would move out, meaning SH would need to pay the full rent.
Irene Adler was between husbands.

"I love to lurk. It's so me."
"Do you really think wearing black will make you a bad guy?"
"I'm wearing black! You just have on navy blue!" [shows their sleeves to compare] "See?"
"HOWARD! Why am I wearing navy blue?"

"Yes, sir?"
"Drinks on the house."
"Yes, sir."
"No, wait a second. Drinks are 50% off."
"Right."
"No, wait a second. Double the price of everything!"
"Yes, sir."

I'm trying to figure out which "Howard" this is. If this was Howard Stark, this was probably "Captain America- First Avenger."
