Thanks. Next up.
The wedding doesn't take place because she didn't show up. He's standing at the altar, and is humiliated. A confusion caused by similar names; she went to the wrong church.

Without looking up any details -- Buck Henry?

The setting, the atmosphere of this story brings to mind works such as *Good Will Hunting*, *A Beautiful Mind*, and even the sitcom *The Big Bang Theory* in its portrayal of the academic environment peopled by mathematics and physics aces. The overlay of standard crime-solving points makes it familiar, and it also contributes to the whodunnit fun.
To give away an important point: The children are murdered in order for the busdriver's daughter to get her lung transplant. This is accomplished, but the driver himself loses his own life in the "accident". There is false "evidence" planted at other "crime scenes".

Retiring my last entry. My taste for the dialogue in *Clueless* doesn't seem to be shared very widely.
Another line from an earlier year:
"Why do guys always know how to hit a woman -- right across the cheek, wham, where it feels like your eyeball is going to explode? What do they do, do they pull you aside in high school and show you how to do this?"
Film? Person speaking? Person addressed?

Right. Disney was sometimes a critical and abrasive taskmaster. Employees sometimes wanted to avoid him in certain moods.

*Intruder In The Dust* (1949)
Some 87-minutes of drama, then a GREAT punch line.

From *The Longest Day*

Whattheatich, I'll try one.
A Hollywood studio where the employees had a little byword / ritual. On certain occasions they would pass around the word that "Man is in the forest!"
What studio? What event occasioned this behavior?

Dropped the ball on this one; got prompted by PM.

Seeming to fit into the numerical progression, a group of mentally-handicapped children die in a bus crash. Or did they die because the bus driver's beautiful and intelligent daughter needed a lung transplant?

Jock Mahoney had started as a stunt man. -- He had doubled for the likes of John Wayne, Roy Rogers, etc. X Brands ("Pahoo") was not an Amerind, but he made a living playing such roles (sort of like Iron Eyes Cody).
The series was popular, and it was profitable, so the network (CBS) wanted to own it. The owners, Mahoney and the writers, did not want to sell. So they were canceled. Simple as that. I wonder how many times something like that has happened.

Correct, skipper. Series Creator Joseph Wambaugh did several years in Juvenile Division, and, in this and other stories he focused on the way children are sometimes treated. He also championed the working cops who daily had to deal with these things.
