Unless you count the plays that have lost all copies of the script, and havent been performed since Shakespearian times, I don’t think those insults are anywhere in Shakespeares works. I think Millie is just making them up. Especially the first one.
No, they’re real.

Henry IV part I, Act 4, Scene 2
Henry VIII, Act 2, Scene 4
The Comedy Of Errors, Act 4, Scene 4
The first quotation is from Henry IV, part 1, spoken by Falstaff:
Peace, good pint-pot; peace, good tickle-brain.
Alright, it’s just that the works of the bard are so vast and numerous, it’s hard to locate any particular set of two to four words.
Millie is easy to please.
Maybe it’s how Ozy said it.
Jeremy hasn’t so much brains as earwax.
Millie and Felicia do desire to be better strangers.
Wait Ozy is a master of Zen and an aficionado of fine arts, yet he knows not of Shakespeare or his meter?
This doesn’t seem to be a particularly good usage of today. (Yes!)
