Don't know

: 2. "Will you please, for the love of God, stop the God damn hammering!!"

Bill Murray in Scrooged! and it should be, "Will you please, for the love
of God, and your own body, hold the God damn hammering NOW!"

It's from Josey Wales and it's correct. Clint Eastwood says it to a bounty
hunter.

The second one is from "Scrooged", and the words were uttered by Bill Murray
whilst talking to Karen Allen on a TV set under construction.

1. "Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy." is from _The Outlaw Josey Wales_
by Clint Eastwood. The scene goes as such:

Josey: You a bounty hunter>
Bounty Hunter: It's a living.
Josey: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy.

This was really mean, because both of these quotes sounded
very familiar, and they tortured me for a couple of minutes.
However, I realized that I wasn't going to get the first one,
so I concentrated on the second, which was even worse.
Finally, I realized that it was Bill Murray in _Scrooged_,
where he yells at the set workers to stop. Now the first one's
starting to bug me...

The first one sound's like a statement that Harrison Ford said to Mark Hamill in _Star Wars_.
