Samples used by Porcupine Tree

I recently started listening to Van Der Graaf Generator and realized there is a sample from Plague of Lighthouse Keepers in one of Porcupine Tree's songs.  I can't remember exactly which one but it's on Up the Downstairs or Voyage 34.

In the song Sever (from Signify) there's this sample of evil laughter and and man's voice saying "the only way to survive is on your knees".  It sounds so familiar to me, from a movie or something, but I just can't place it.  Anyone know?

Also, does anyone know the origin of other interesting samples included in PT songs?   eg. "I wan't Felix's penis on me" - from And the Swallows Dance Above the Sun (On the Sunday of Life)
