Yes, you are correct madam! #1 is from Danger!! Death Ray.
2. "Looks like a giant turkey pot pie." 3. "And I'll slit my wrist with it 'cause I'm bored to death."
and a real toughie: 6. "But every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end!" (Hint: Think outside the seasons.)
Hints part 2: 2. Gamera series, which one? 3. From a short 6. MFT3000, Which one?

Don't worry interocetor...my fault, not yours. I'm also no good at figuring out riddles...neither am I at creating them...what I created here was just an obtuse, confusing, unintelligible mess:
Here's a truncated version of my question:
The reference references...
#1 a) a film line (indirectly) b) from a film often ref'd by MST3K
#2 a) and comes in the form of the lyric from a song which was appropriated from the aforementioned film. b) another lyric from this song also appears often as a MST riff
Yeah,...i was trying to make it fun. I failed miserably. It isn't even clear what you're supposed to be guessing.
Well, since this is no fun, I'll just give you the answer:
no one brings anything small into a bar around here
TOM WAITS appropriated this line from a film and put it in his song, "9th & Hennepin" from his monumental 1985 LP, Rain Dogs.
The other line from this same song that pops up a lot in MST3K is There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix (ex. the opening credits of the Phantom Creeps).
Kevin (Servo) says these lines in Waits' unmistakable pseudo-beatnik, deep, drunken rough, scratchy, grumble mumble. It's a great song and LENDS itself to becoming riffs...because the song is an endless stream of beat-like, clever one-liners (I wouldn't be all that surprised if ALL of the lines of the song were taken from other sources.
Oh yeah, and I noted that it was a film reference before it became a song lyric (the intended "fun part"), and the film referenced, is also a film that MST3K references outside the song (see? fun!)...so, what is it? Well, it's Jimmy Stewart's best film, of course, Harvey.
Hmm, thinking back, I'm glad I left out the fact that it's a music reference of a film reference of a film that was originally a play...#nosmileys

Well, at least you've explained it for us, so thank you. But it's a little like Crow's play, "Just Plain Peter - The U of M Years" or "Peter Graves at the University of Minnesota".

"And I'll slit my wrist with it 'cause I'm bored to death." and a real toughie: 6. "But every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end!" (Hint: Think outside the seasons.) Hints part 2: 2.

Interociter is right. You'll see that the source is a song called "Closing Time." I'll go ahead and give you that one since nobody seems to know. It's Starcrash.
Final clue on #2: Crow says it.

All right, since nobody got this one either, I'll give it to you. It's from Gamera vs. Baurgon.

Here's a couple:
1. "There's a dollar in every envelope! My chain letter scam worked!" - Crow, Season 5 2. "No, let's stay in the crawlspace." - Mike, Season 6 3. "It's a magma-flow of savings at Menards!" - Servo, Season 8 4. "I think the fish can handle it." - Mike, Season 7 5. "You always were a good judge of men, Deathstalker." - Mike (this is a trick question!)

#4, The Incredible Melting Man #5, I'm guessing Werewolf? I know it's one I've seen recently.
