Inspector Morse was a television series starring John Thaw and Kevin Whately, based on the books by Colin Dexter.

Episode 1 The Dead Of Jericho [1.1]

 * Morse: Lewis, Sophocles died two and a half thousand years ago.

 * Lewis: I was just saying to Mr Richards...
 * Morse: But you HAVE met ...!

Episode 2 The Silent World Of Nicholas Quinn [1.2]

 *  Morse: I do hope that this isn't one of our sordid cases, Lewis
 * (The Professor is surprised to learn that Morse never married)

 *  Morse: No-one would put up with me - I play my records too loud
 *  Morse: I've gone and arrested the WRONG man!
 *  Morse: No, that's not 'Morse's Law'. 'Morse's Law' is there's always time for one more pint ... except there isn't.

Episode 3 Service Of All The Dead [1.3]

 * Morse: Oh, grow up, Morse!
 * The House of The Lord should be daily swept and garnished

Episode 4 The Wolvercote Tongue [2.4]

 * Morse: And the rich do so hate answering questions!

 * Serving Wench: (making a grand gesture) A messenger attends without, My Lord!
 * Theodore Kemp:  Hm?
 * Wench: (slightly irritatedly and in a stage whisper) You're wanted on the 'phone!

 * Lewis:  (commenting on Mrs Downs): Fine woman, that! Full of life!
 * Morse:  And YOU the married man (!)
 * Lewis:  Ah, I don't mean THAT. You've a one-track mind, you!
 * Morse:  Yes, I want to know who killed Theodore Kemp.

 * Morse:  People's lives, Lewis. People's lives. And loves. It was love's old sweet song all along!
 * Lewis:  I think I'll just pop down and see Aunt Cissy.
 * Morse: (laughs)
 * Lewis: Aahh, you don't want us to do my back in again do you ?
 * Morse:  You do what you like Lewis. I'm going to stay and look at the water for a while.
 * Lewis:  (gently mocking) You. Water?
 * Morse:  If anybody wants me, they'll find me looking at fish. Through the bottom of a beer glass!

Episode 5 Last Seen Wearing [2.5]

 * Morse: Have you ever thought about the person who designed the sports skirt? Somebody sat down and drew a fantasy and made it compulsory uniform. I can never watch Wimbledon without thanking that man.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Are we having a depression?

 * Morse: No, ...we are NOT having a depression!
 * Max: Think of it like losing your finest recording of the 'Ring Cycle'
 * Morse: Yes, but I've still got it on cassette!

 * Mr. Craven: It's time to get your shoes dirty!
 * Chief Supt. Strange:  I'm the Superintendent. If one of my officers orders a constable to bring him whisky in a coffee-mug, I get to hear about it. It's my job!
 * Lewis:  What about Mr. Craven?
 * Morse:  Mr. Craven was at a lodge-meeting - fifteen minutes away from Clare Baines - with a list of witnesses as long as your arm. And as you know the Masonic arm is very long indeed!

 * Morse: Go home, Lewis. Kiss your children. See your wife
 * Max: You can have a good relationship with a corpse
 * Morse: Cat got your tongue, Lewis? Getting all too much for you, is it? A coded letter; stolen money; violence.
 * Lewis: You forget one thing, Sir. Sex.

 * Morse: Let's get out of here. I hate the smell of hospitals
 * Lewis: It's about time I bought you a pint
 * Morse: It's long overdue, Lewis ... long overdue.

Episode 8 Ghost In The Machine [3.8]

 * Morse: Get an ambulance to Hanbury House as fast as you can! Some fool in a sports car just drove into a tree!
 * Lewis: Was it from 'Cats'?
 * Morse: No, it was not from 'Cats'!
 * Lewis: Oh, the wife wants to see 'Cats'. Don't know why, she's allergic to them.

 * Morse: It's people like them (the Hanburys) who think people like us are there to keep the servants in order.
 * Morse: Keep tugging at your forelock, Lewis, and we may be back in Oxford by lunch-time
 * Lewis: (after having been pulled up by Morse on a grammatical error on aprevious occasion): Shouldn't that be 'might'?

 * Dr. Russell: I'm Max's locum.
 * Morse: Where's Max?
 * Dr. Russell: In the Radcliffe, unfortunately. A slight stroke. Nothing serious.
 * Morse: But you're a...a...
 * Dr. Russell: (interrupting) A pathologist, yes(!)

 * Morse: Grayling...like the fish?
 * Morse: Too much sang froid
 * Morse: We're being led up the garden path, Lewis. A very picturesque garden and a very pretty path
 *  Morse: The people who live in places like this think that the rules don't apply to them
 * Morse: Oh, God! What an inheritance!

Episode 9 The Last Enemy [3.9]

 * Morse: How does one address a lady pathologist first thing in the morning?
 * Dr Russell:  Well doctor would do.
 * Morse:  Well doctor I look forward to your full report.
 * Dr Russell:  If I had to hazard a professional opinion, I'd say the chief inspector was nothing more then a person.
 * Lewis: (to Dr. Russell) Oh I shouldn't worry about it. He's got tooth-ache

 * Miss Burn: You know Oxford. A back-biting, parochial little town
 * Lewis:  (to Dr Russell) What's a nice girl like you doing a job like this for?
 * Dr Russell:  How do you know I'm a 'nice girl' hmm?

(pause)
 * Dr Russell:  You sound just like Morse.
 * Lewis:  I'll take that as a compliment!

 * Morse: I have a good memory, but a prosaic mind
 * Canal worker:  What is it that you're looking for, exactly?
 * Morse (tacitly): A head
 * The New Testament:  "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death."

Episode 10 Deceived By Flight' [3.10]

 * Morse: I stumble about. That's what I do. Sometimes I stumble in the right direction.
 * Roland Marshall: Morse. My God ... it's 'Pagan Morse' !
 * Morse: Would you keep an eye on my car? It's the red 'Jaguar' across the road.
 * Morse: People are dying out there. Even cricket has to come to a stop.
 * Lewis: I have to, er, y'know (use the Gents')
 * Morse: (imitates Lewis) Yer knaa. I even bet you give it a number where you come from.
 * Lewis: Actually, we do

 * (An everyday story of murder and multi-storey carparks).

 * Mrs Hederson: It was just after I was speaking to you Sgt Lewis, it was really strange.'''

Episode 12. 'The Infernal Serpent'

 * Milton's 'Paradise Lost': (Book 1) "Th' infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile stir'd up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv'd the Mother of Mankind ..."
 * Morse: You've just earned yourself a drink, Lewis.

 * Lewis: Aw, it's lentil soup in the canteen today
 * Morse: It's too warm for lentil soup!

 * Lewis: Taxonomy? Sounds like stuffing. Stuffing umbrellas?
 * Morse: Taxonomy means "a classification". The Master was making a joke.

 * Mrs Copley-Barnes: There was a Serpent in our house, coiled around the foundation.

Episode 13. 'The Sins Of The Fathers'

 * Lewis: You'll never believe this, Sir. We have to visit a brewery!
 * Butler: Your name, Sir?
 * Morse: Morse
 * Butler: Rank?
 * Morse: And that's relevant, is it?
 * Butler: It is if I'm to announce you...

 * Lewis: The last shall be first and the first shall be last'''
 * Morse: Very good, Lewis. I'm impressed. Where did you learn that?
 * Lewis: At Sunday School
 * Morse: And what is the relevance?
 * Lewis: It means that one day I'll be Chief Inspector and you'll be Sergeant

 * Mrs Radford: So, Morse, must the evil that men do live on after them?
 * Morse: That's it, Lewis! You're a genius!
 * Lewis:  Do you fancy a pint, Sir?
 * Morse: You know, Lewis ... I don't think I do

Episode 14. 'Driven To Distraction'
(Featured music by Marian Montgomery).
 * George: The electrics are up the chute, for a start.
 * Morse: This car is pre-electric!

 * Morse: That's our man, alright!
 * Lewis: Who?
 * Morse: Boynton. We know who - all we have to work out now is how and why.
 * Lewis: What evidence have you got?
 * Morse: Not a shred!
 * Lewis: You can't arrest the man just because you don't like him.
 * Morse: More's the pity!

 * Lewis: You go trampling about, don't you. You think you're so clever, but sometimes you're a bloody fool!

Episode 15. 'Masonic Mysteries' (Episode directed by Danny Boyle.)
(Featured music from 'The Magic Flute' by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

 * Morse: You'd better start by rolling your trouser-leg up, Lewis. DCI Bottomley is a grand master, a grander master that I.
 * Lewis: (to Bottomley) Like a game of chess, do you, Sir?
 * Morse: With a man like deVries, you have to look INSIDE the coffin!
 * Lewis: Is there anything that you want?
 * Morse: Yes. Bring me the libretto of 'The Magic Flute'
 * Lewis: Libretto?
 * Morse: 'Little book'. It's in the album box-set
 * Lewis: How about clothes?
 * Morse: You think that I'm going to be here for that long?

 (Morse is kneeling on the floor with de Vries holding a pistol to his head). (The door-bell rings).
 * Hugo deVries: You're sweating, Morse. It's most disagreeable.
 * Hugo deVries: (emotionless and interrupted in full flow) Who is that?
 * Morse: My sergeant.
 * Hugo deVries: What is it with you English policemen? Going around in pairs like some low comedians.

 * Lewis: (admiring DeVries' Jaguar) Nice car!
 * Morse:  (dismissively) Rubbish, these new models. No class.

 (After Bottomley's invitation to join the Masons)

 * Hugo deVries: I like being dead. It takes the strain out of living.
 * Hugo deVries: I am Zoroastro; YOU are Monostatos!
 * Morse: Toscanini? Arturo Toscanini? That's the WORST recording of 'The Magic Flute' there's ever been! I wouldn't even let it in the house!
 * Morse:  No, I don't join groups. I'm even thinking of leaving the choir.
 * Morse:  (to Lewis) Go and see it! You'll love it...it's got a dragon.

Episode 16. 'Second Time Around'

 * Lewis: (Noticing Inspector Hillian's drinking) The way he knocks it back, it's a wonder he lived to collect an OBE.
 * Morse: People in glasshouses ...
 * Lewis: (Looking in his own glass) This is only a little light wine, Sir.
 * Morse: I know what it is.
 * Lewis: And it's only me second glass!
 * Morse: Sanctimony, Lewis (shaking his head).

 * Constable: I was over the way ... and there was this car...
 * Morse: I take it from all the...excitement that you got its number.
 * Constable: Yes, Sir.
 * Morse: Then deal with it in the normal way. That's quietly, with a certain amount of control.

 * Morse: Well, I think I'll go for a walk. What about you?
 * Lewis: I could start work on the reports, Sir, if you want.
 * Morse: Good man.
 * Lewis: I mean, only if you want.
 * Morse: Well, why not. Procrastination is the thief of time, since we're swapping proverbs.

 * Mrs Dawson: Patrick thinks you're a very good detective. A poor policeman, and a very good detective.
 * Morse: Really. Well I suppose half a compliment is better than none.

 * Morse: Different policemen have different methods, Mrs Lapsley
 * Frederick Redpath: My name is Frederick Redpath. It has been for the last eleven years.
 * Morse: Get on with it, Lewis!
 * Lewis: Detective Chief Inspector Dawson, I'm arresting you for the murder of John Mitchell. You do not have to saything, but anything you do say may be given in evidence.

 * Lewis: I think you could have let her win the chess, Sir.
 * Morse: That's the worst kind of deception, Lewis

 * Lewis: That badge of yours. Why did you keep it?
 * Morse: Vanity, I suppose. It was my first public speech.
 * Lewis: Did you win?
 * Morse: No. We lost.

Episode 17. 'Fat Chance'

 * Lewis: [Enquiring after the chain-smoking female priest] Who, cigar and cassock?
 * Lewis: She's a bit, you know ... holier than thou ...
 * Morse: She IS a bit holier than thou, Lewis!

 * Sister: And what, may I ask, are you doing with my patient?!
 * Morse: Thames Valley Police. My name's Chief Inspector Morse. (shows warrant card)
 * Sister: Am I supposed to be impressed?
 * Morse: I'm making a few enquiries...
 * Sister: Then you can make them to thin air - outside the gate!
 * Morse: I could compel you to comply.
 * Sister: You ridiculous man! I'd like to see you try. I am commanded by a higher authority than the Thames Valley Police!
 * Lewis: She lied to you, Sir.

Episode 18. 'Who Killed Harry Field?'

 * Harry Field's answering machine: Hello, this is Harry. Health, Wealth and Happiness! Leave a message - for God's sake!
 * Morse: (Reads) Lignum crucis arbor scientiae... the wood of the cross is the tree of knowledge.
 * Morse: Hello, Harry - I got your note.
 * Lewis: Tired, Sir?
 * Morse: Yes, Lewis.
 * Lewis: Why's that, then?
 * Morse: Lack of sleep.

 * Morse: Here we are again, Lewis. Piecing together the last moments of a total stranger.
 * Lewis: A Vincent 'Black Shadow' motorcycle, registration number Oh Ay Eff ...
 * Radio: (Static)
 * Lewis: Well, black...obviously!

 (Kerr cues up a slide of a painting)
 * Ian Kerr: Right, what have you got for me?
 * Ian Kerr: What's this?
 * Morse: A Whistler.
 * Ian Kerr: It's awful...where did you get it?
 * Morse: At a wake!

Episode 19. 'Greeks Bearing Gifts'

 * Jerome Hogg: You must know her...the face that launched a thousand clips. That's a technical TV term.
 * Morse: I rarely watch.

 * Morse: Watch the mouth: it gives away what the face is trying to hide.
 * Strange: Is that one of your quotes?
 * Morse: Quotations. Lord Byron.

 (speaking about a Greek replica ship).
 * Tuckerman: Wouldn't you think they'd simply jump at the chance to show it abroad. Think of the media blitz there'd be!
 * Morse: Perhaps they're afraid they'll never get it back.
 * Tuckerman: The Frogs got the Mona Lisa back after it'd been to New York.
 * Morse: The Italians didn't.

 * Tuckerman: This is the time of the high-fliers, Inspector. Only the brain-dead stay on the ground.
 * Morse: Ever heard of Icarus?
 * Tuckerman: No, why? Did he work for me?
 * Morse: I meant on your wanderings through antiquity. A mythical figure. The first bird-man. Flew too near the sun. Melted the wax on his wings, fell from the sky, and was drowned. In the Aegean.

 * Morse: Almost operatic. Greek Tragedy. You should try the Classice sometime, Lewis. Sex is never simple there: there's pleasure, then there's payment. Retribution.

Episode 20. 'Promised Land'

 * Morse: I forget, Robbie.

 * Morse: Hate you? My God, Susan...

 * McGregor: It's a Sergeant Lewis, Master William! Fa' th' polis!

Episode 22. 'Happy Families'

 * Charlie's Photographer: What's that music?
 * Charlie: That's Mozart, Charlie.

 * Morse: I was precise and I was courteous.
 * Superintendant Holmeby: You were bloody superior!

 Morse: I've never been taken off a case in my life!
 Morse: Take my picture NOW! Take it NOW!
 * James Balcombe: You haven't been saying silly things, have you Mummy, to the police?
 * Morse: It's something that I read in a book!

Episode 23. 'The Death Of The Self'

 * Russell Clark: You're not in the chorus yet, but you're part of the show.
 * Lewis: What is again, Sir?
 * Morse: (enunciates clearly) 'Una grappa di secco' for me - and 'una bierra' for you

 * Morse: When I'm ready, Mr Clark. I'll speak to you when I'm ready.
 * Morse: Faking it until the end, Clark?

Episode 24. 'Absolute Conviction'

 * Morse: We go directly to Jail!
 * Mrs Cryer: Apparently, the British public like their widows in black.
 * Morse: (to Cheetham) To you, it's 'Sir', sonny!
 * Sgt Cheetham: Chasing a madman around a greenhouse - what a waste of time!
 * Bennett: A queer one, is our Morse!

 * Morse: I'm sorry - it isn't beer, it's coffee. But then again, it isn't coffee!

Episode 25. 'Cherubim & Seraphim'

 * Supt. Strange: Teenagers are like creatures from another planet.
 * Morse: I'll ask Lewis - he has children

 * Morse: If you're going to retire, Holroyd, just go ahead and do it!
 * Morse: No-one can imagine another's pain, Robbie
 * Morse: What's that..? Play that bit again, Lewis. That's the Hallelujah Chorus! ... conducted by Sir Adrian Boult!
 * Morse: It's 'magpie music' - a bit here, a bit there...

Episode 26 Deadly Slumber [7.26]

 * Michael Steppings: I didn't kill that man, Mr Morse
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Get youself down there, matey. And give him hell!
 * Dr Feltham: Why is it, Chief Inspector, that doctors make the worst patients?
 * Michael Steppings: You could go anywhere you wanted to.
 * Morse: Yes. But what would I do when I got there?

 * Chief Supt. Strange: There's one thing I don't understand! Why haven't I met this Steppings? Anyone 'nouveau riche' is only too quick to knock on the door of society these days.
 * Lewis:  You mean, you've never come across him at the Lodge, Sir?
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Not exactly, Serg... (to Morse) And what exactly is SO funny?
 * Morse: Nothing. I was just reflecting on Sergeant Lewis' view of polite Oxfordshire society!

 * Morse: If Michael Steppings was monstrous, he was MADE monstrous!
 * Mr Neally (solicitor): My client just sat there and confessed?
 * Morse: Yes.

 * Lewis: Shame to waste them, Sir. Red roses - one of the most expensive flowers around.
 * Morse: I sent her some once before. They had a much higher price-tag!

Episode 27 The Day Of The Devil [7.27]

 * Lewis: Morning sir.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Has the hospital confirmed who it is?
 * Lewis: John Peter Barry sir, also known as the "Devils Disciple".
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Oh God!
 * Lewis: They discovered him gone at seven this morning.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Did they say how he got out?
 * Lewis: No, no details sir, but we do know that Barry’s as sharp as they come.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Don’t we just!

 (One of the best scenes between Morse and Strange)
 * Morse: This is meant to be a simple handover, no heroics. Barry will be expecting something like that.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Something like what? I simply want you to go there early and get the li of the land.
 * Morse: Your gambling with that women’s life. At the very least it's a professional dubious course of action.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Don't you lecture me on professionalism matey. (quiet pause) Look what if we pull this off, ah. We’d of done everyone a favour.
 * Morse: I don’t know everyone! But I know who Holley Travis is and I know her husband. We put her in this predicament and now we’re guna compound that by trying some gun hoe rescue attempt.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: I think you’ve said enough, don’t you chief inspector?
 * Morse: I really don’t know sir, but you can help me there. Is there any point in putting my argument to higher councils?
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Absolutely none!
 * Morse: I see, calls to make and soundings to take.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: You know the rules.
 * Morse: The rules.

Episode 28 Twilight Of The Gods [7.28]

 * Gwladys Probert: I'm sorry, luvvy. You sound like you're giving the weather forecast.
 * Lewis: Sergeants aren't allowed to think. Not in the Thames Valley Police.
 * Mrs Baydon: Gwladys’s marriage was not a success.
 * Morse: I understand the lifestyles were incompatible.
 * Mrs Baydon: No, No! she liked the life. She liked the money. (pause) It was the sex. He was no good, at sex, not even very interested and many artists have healthy appetites you know. Well Gwladys is not as beautiful as she once was perhaps and her taste is for very young men.

Episode 29. The Way Through The Woods

 * Dr. Hobson: Well, I'm not here to see the bouncy castle!
 * Morse: Where were you Dr Harding?
 * Mrs Harding: Where he’s been every few times he can, with her at the Marlborough Hotel on the Woodstock road. It’s alright it had to be someone; if it hadn’t been you then it would have been a stranger. Poor Allan!
 * Morse: Well!

Episode 30. The Daughters Of Cain

 * Chief Supt. Strange: You better have a doctor present. We don’t want him having another heart attack in police custody. Ha, mind you if he ups and dies it will save us the expense of a trial.
 * Morse: Oh, and in these hard pressed times.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: It’s all very well for you to sneer but you don’t know what it’s like sitting here forced to implement cuts. Solving crime, that’s the easy part.
 * Morse: Of course we haven’t solved this one yet sir but I must say Lewis has worked particularly hard on it. He’s been very imaginative.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Lewis, Imaginative?
 * Morse: It comes with these long years working with me. Somethings bound to rub off in the end.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: It’s a bit early for patting ourselves on the back Morse. If you have the imagination to solve this case in double quick time then I may give consideration.
 * Morse: (over the top of Strange) Thank you sir.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: If Morse, if.
 * Morse: Don’t worry about if sir, with Lewis on the ball the way he is.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: If you don’t stop going on about Lewis you’re guna give me a heart attack.
 * Morse: Don’t worry about if sir, with Lewis on the ball the way he is. (pause) Perhaps you’d like to sit in on the questioning sir, see how well Lewis.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: (interrupting) Morse! Go!.

Episode 31. Death Is Now My Neighbour

 * Adele Cecil: This anagram, "around eve" — I've tried and I've tried, but all I can come up with is "Endeavour". And no-one's called Endeavour, surely?
 * Morse: I told you — my mother was a Quaker, and Quakers sometimes call their children names like 'Hope', and 'Patience'.  My father was obsessed with Captain Cook, and his ship was called Endeavour.  Why aren't you both laughing?
 * Lewis: You poor sod!
 * Adele Cecil: I'm not calling you "Endeavour".
 * Lewis: Call him "Sir". He likes that.
 * Adele Cecil: Oh, no, no,— I'll stick to "Morse", like everyone else.
 * Morse: [Raises his glass of beer.] Cheers!
 * Morse: That which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Episode 32. The Wench Is Dead

 * Chief Supt. Strange: Hello Morse, bearing up are we?
 * Morse: Trying too.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: You got a temperature?
 * Morse: Everyone's got a temperature.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: Not like that they haven't.

 * Chief Supt. Strange: Angel of Death flutters it's wings over his head has it?
 * Adele Cecil: I had no idea you were so poetic, Chief Inspector.
 * Chief Supt. Strange: I'm not, it's what my mother used to say.

 * Morse: I think it frets the saints in heaven to see how many desolate creatures upon the earth have learned the simple dues of fellowship and social comfort in a hospital. Who said that?
 * Adele Cecil: No idea, but have you learned the simple dues of fellowship?
 * Morse: I believe I have, do you know, Kershaw?
 * PC Kershaw: Elizabeth Barrett Browning Sir

Episode 33. The Remorseful Day

 * Woman: What's your first name?
 * Morse: Inspector.

 * Morse: Isn't it your round?
 * Lewis: You think another one's a good idea?
 * Morse: Think! That's why I want it, to think! I don't drink for pleasure.
 * Lewis: You are alright, aren't you, sir?
 * Morse: Better off than Harry Repp, I suppose. At least I'll have a retirement. Bird watching, Wagner. You know, you really should persevere with Wagner, Lewis. It's about important things. Life and death... regret.
 * Lewis: Cheer up, sir, it's a lovely evening. Look at that sunset!
 * Morse: [quoting A.E. Houseman] "Ensanguining the skies. How heavily it dies. Into the west away; Past touch and sight and sound. Not further to be found, how hopeless under ground. Falls the remorseful day."

 * Chief Supt. Strange: [referring to Morse's letter to Yvonne Harrison] He's always been an independent sod, Lewis. If he had told you about it, he would have felt that he was letting himself down in your eyes. And he didn't want that, Lewis. He didn't want that.
 * Morse: Thank...Lewis...for me.
 * Sandra Harrison: John was supposed to come 'round to my flat, but he phoned to say he was working late. I could tell he was lying, so I dialed 1-4-7-1. It was my parents' house. He was a man you had to... share, if you wanted him at all. And I wanted him, ever since he did some work at the house.
 * Lewis: You are still under caution, Doctor.
 * Sandra Harrison: He must have heard my car coming and panicked. I saw him run out into his van and drive off, and he saw me. When I got upstairs... I mean, the others, yes, sharing... but this was my mother. My mother! Like... like some disgusting, pornographic... still a trace of a smile of satisfaction. So I...
 * Lewis: Smashed her skull in, then called your father in London to tell him what you'd done. And when he arrived, he broke the window to set the alarm off, and then paid Flynn to tell us that it was still going when the taxi arrived.
 * Sandra Harrison: It was the best he could think of. Except Flynn stayed watching until he saw me coming out, and... now he knew. Then John asked for money to say he'd tried calling her twice that night. More and more money. Dad had to sell the silver.
 * Lewis: [sarcastically] Dear, dear.
 * Sandra Harrison: You don't understand.
 * Lewis: No.
 * Sandra Harrison: Morse will.
 * Lewis: [angrily] Inspector Morse is dead!

 * Lewis: Goodbye, sir.

Lance Armstrong

Lance Edward Armstrong (born 18 September 1971) is an American former professional road racing cyclist. Armstrong had been declared winner of the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times between 1999 and 2005, before being disqualified from each of those races and banned from cycling for life for doping offenses by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in 2012. He is the founder of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, later renamed Livestrong Foundation, for providing support for cancer patients.

Quotes

 * I want all of you to know that I intend to beat this disease. And further, I intend to ride again as a professional cyclist.
 * Announcing that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in a press conference (8 October 1996)

 * I want to finish by saying that I intend to be an avid spokesperson for testicular cancer once I have beaten the disease... I want this to be a positive experience and I want to take this opportunity to help others who might someday suffer from the same circumstance I face today.
 * Press conference (8 October 1996)

 * Without cancer, I never would have won a single Tour de France. Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things — whether health or a car or an old sense of self — has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.
 * As quoted in Forbes Magazine (3 December 2001)

 * A boo is a lot louder than a cheer, if you have 10 people cheering and one person booing all you hear is the booing.
 * As quoted in "King of the Hill" by Kelli Anderson in Sports Illustrated (5 August 2002)

 * Every year the media comes up with something to describe my race … The first year it was "the comeback." Then it was the "the confirmation." I don't know what it was last year. This year, for me, it's "the year of the team." I can't say how I compare to the rider I was in 1999 or 2000 or 2001, but this team is much stronger than it has ever been. It has made it easier for me.
 * As quoted in "King of the Hill" by Kelli Anderson in Sports Illustrated (5 August 2002)

 * No one trains like me. No one rides like me. This jersey's mine. I live for this jersey. It's my life. No one's taking it away from me. This fucking jersey's mine.
 * On the team bus, after winning his fifth Tour de France in 2003, as quoted in "On your marks, get set … go!" in The Guardian by William Fotheringham in The Guardian (30 June 2007)

 * I'm not happy if I'm not doing some physical suffering, like going out on a bike ride or running. First, it's good for you. No. 2, it sort of clears my mind on a daily basis. And it's a job. My job is to suffer. I make the suffering in training hard so that the races are not full of suffering.
 * As quoted in "10 questions for Lance Armstrong" by Bill Saporito in TIME magazine (28 September 2003)

 * I don't have anything against organized religion per se. We all need something in our lives. I personally just have not accepted that belief. But I'm one of the few.
 * As quoted in response to the comment "For a miracle man, you're not very religious", in "10 questions for Lance Armstrong" by Bill Saporito in TIME magazine (28 September 2003)

 * Lance Armstrong: How bad do you want to win a stage in the Tour de France?
 * Floyd Landis: Real bad.
 * Armstrong: How fast can you go down hill?
 * Landis: I go downhill real fast. Can I do it?
 * Armstrong: Sure you can do it … run like you stole something Floyd.
 * Exchange with Floyd Landis, at Stage 17 of the Tour de France as reported in "Score another for Armstrong" in VeloNews (22 July 2004)

 * No gifts this year. I have given gifts on the Tour de France and very rarely has it ever come back to help me. This is the biggest bike race in the world and it means more than any bike race in the world. It means more to me than any bike race in the world. I want to win … no gifts.
 * As quoted in "Score another for Armstrong" in VeloNews (22 July 2004)

 * If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts.
 * ET Magazine (2004) This needs further date citation, as the article designated has not yet been located.

 * This is my body, and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?
 * As quoted in "Lance Armstrong Ruined My Gym" by Neal Pollack, in Slate (1 July 2005)

 * Finally, the last thing I’ll say to the people who don’t believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics: I'm sorry for you. I’m sorry that you can’t dream big. I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. But this is one hell of a race. This is a great sporting event and you should stand around and believe it. You should believe in these athletes, and you should believe in these people. I'll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets — this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it. So Vive le Tour forever!
 * Farewell speech at the Champs-Élysées podium, after winning his seventh Tour de France, quoted in "Paris salutes its American hero" by Caroline Wyatt in BBC News (24 July 2005)

 * Jake, why are you sitting in the front? I thought you liked it in the rear.
 * On stage comment to Jake Gyllenhaal, who has been recently nominated for an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain, at the ESPY Awards (16 July 2006)

 * All their players tested positive... for being assholes.
 * About the French 2006 FIFA World Cup team during his speech at the ESPY Awards, as quoted in "Armstrong accuses France World Cup team of being 'assholes'" in The Guardian (16 July 2006); he later commented on his use of profanity: "If they'd lived with me and heard me at home, they'd know it was a step down.."

 * Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
 * Armstrong, Lance. It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life. New York: Berkley Books, 2001
 * "Back in the Saddle - An Essay by Lance Armstrong", as quoted in The Book of Action (2006) by Jeramy L. Patrick and Justin L. Helms, p. 68

 * One of the redeeming things about being an athlete is redefining what is humanly possible.
 * As quoted in "What's Possible" in Fast Company (19 December 2007)
 * Unsourced variant: Being a champion is redefining what's humanly possible.

 * I'm a flawed character... I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times.
 * Lance Armstrong Admits to Doping, 'One Big Lie', as reported in the Wall Street Journal, January 18, 2013.

It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life (2000)

 * I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour. I want to cross one last finish line as my wife and my ten children applaud, and then I want to lie down in a field of those famous French sunflowers and gracefully expire, the perfect contradiction to my once anticipated poignant early demise.
 * p. 1

 * I wished hard, but I didn't pray. I had developed a certain distrust of organized religion growing up, but I felt I had the capacity to be a spiritual person, and to hold some fervent beliefs. Quite simply, I believed I had a responsiblity to be a good person, and that meant fair, honest, hardworking, and honorable. If I did that, if I was good to my family, true to my friends, if I gave back to my community or to some cause, if I wasn't a liar, a cheat, or a thief, then I believed that should be enough. At the end of the day, if there was indeed some Body or presence standing there to judge me, I hoped I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life, not on whether I believed in a certain book, or whether I'd been baptized. If there was indeed a God at the end of my days, I hoped he didn't say, "But you were never a Christian, so you're going the other way from heaven." If so, I was going to reply, "You know what? You're right. Fine."
 * p. 113

 * Anything is possible. You can be told you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight. By fight I mean arm yourself with all the available information, get second opinions, third opinions, and fourth opinions. Understand what has invaded your body, and what the possible cures are. It's another fact of cancer that the more informed and empowered patient has a better chance of long-term survival. What if I had lost? What if I relapsed and the cancer came back? I still believe I would have gained something in the struggle, because in what time I had left I would have been a more complete, compassionate, and intelligent man, and therefore more alive.
 * p. 267

Every Second Counts (2003)

 * A life spent defensively, worried, is a life wasted. You know when I need to die? When I'm done living.  When I can't walk, can't eat, can't see, when I'm a crotchety old bastard, mad at the world. Then I can die.
 * p. 21

 * Life, to me, is a series of false limits and my challenge as an athlete is to explore those limits on a bike.
 * p. 21

 * The Tour (de France) is essentially a math problem, a 2,000-mile race over three weeks that's sometimes won by a margin of a minute or less. How do you propel yourself through space on a bicycle, sometimes steeply uphill, at a speed sustainable for three weeks? Every second counts.
 * p. 157

DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story (2004)

 * Cameo appearance in the film written by Rawson Marshall Thurber

 * Peter La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit... Lance.
 * Lance Armstrong: Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?
 * Peter La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like... shame.
 * Lance Armstrong: Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life. Well good luck to you Peter. I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever.

Quotes about Armstrong

 * I follow the Tour de France about as much as the average North American person… I only know of it because of the success that Lance Armstrong has had. Michael Jordan was the greatest athlete I ever saw. Tiger Woods is now at a point where he is going to go down in history as something special. There's not a question that Lance Armstrong belongs with those two guys. Not only because of what he has done as an athlete, but also what he has been able to come back from.
 * Wayne Gretzky, Canadian hockey player, as quoted in "King of the Hill" by Kelli Anderson in Sports Illustrated (5 August 2002)

 * The perfect athlete is Lance Armstrong. What he achieved, no other human has or, in my opinion, will ever achieve. It's hard enough surviving cancer, but winning seven Tour de France titles after that is amazing. He is a true inspiration to me and makes me believe that nothing is impossible. When you have a dream and work hard at it, it's possible.
 * Nastia Liukin, the 2008 Olympic individual all-around Artistic Gymnastics gold medalist, as quoted in "In Pictures: Olympians Pick The Perfect Athlete" at Forbes.com (9 July 2008)

 * If a script writer had come up with a story resembling what you have just achieved, even the Hollywood studios would have refused.
 * Phil Knight, Nike chief executive, as quoted in "Pain is temporary... quitting lasts forever" in The Telegraph (25 July 2004)

 * "Him? No way. Absolutely not, he has no conscience."
 * Greg LeMond, American cyclist, three time Tour de France winner, in response to the question of whether Lance Armstrong would come clean about doping.

Harry J. Anslinger (20 May 1892 – 14 November 1975) was the first Commissioner of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics, widely considered the first United States "drug czar".

Quotes

 * Traffic in marijuana is increasing to such an extent that it has come to the be cause for the greatest national concern. This drug is as old as civilization itself. Homer wrote about, as a drug that made men forget their homes, and that turned them into swine. In Persia, a thousand years before Christ, there was a religious and military order founded which was called the Assassins and they derived their name from the drug called hashish which is now known in this country as marihuana. They were noted for their acts of cruelty, and the word "assassin" very aptly describes the drug.
 * Hearing on H.R. 6385 (April 1937)

 * Here we have drug that is not like opium. Opium has all of the good of Dr. Jekyll and all the evil of Mr. Hyde. This drug is entirely the monster Hyde, the harmful effect of which cannot be measured. Some people will fly into a delirious rage, and they are temporarily irresponsible and may commit violent crimes. Other people will laugh uncontrollably. It is impossible to say what the effect will be on any individual. Those research men who have tried it have always been under control. They have always insisted upon that. … It is dangerous to the mind and body, and particularly dangerous to the criminal type, because it releases all of the inhibitions.
 * Hearing on H.R. 6385 (April 1937)

 * How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured...No one knows, when he places a marijuana cigarette to his lips, whether he will become a joyous reveller in a musical heaven, a mad insensate, a calm philosopher, or a murderer...
 * "Marijuana — Assassin of Youth" in The American Magazine, Vol. 24 (July 1937), p. 18

Disputed

 * Most marijuana smokers are colored people, jazz musicians, and entertainers. Their satanic music is driven by marijuana, and marijuana smoking by white women makes them want to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and others. It is a drug that causes insanity, criminality, and death — the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.
 * As quoted in Legalizing Marijuana : Drug Policy Reform and Prohibition Politics (2004) by Rudolph Joseph Gerber, p. 9; also in Hawking Hits on the Information Highway : The Challenge of Online Drug Sales for Law Enforcement (2008) by Laura L. Finley, p. 28, and "The Emperor Wears No Clothes: The Authoritative Historical Record of Cannabis and the Conspiracy Against Marijuana" (1994) by Jack Herer, Jeanie Cabarga, and Jeanie Herer, p. 29.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a 1966 Spaghetti Western film, set during the American Civil War, about three gunmen— an honorable bounty hunter, a common criminal, and a ruthless hired killer —who set out to find a hidden fortune in a Confederate cemetery.
 * Directed by Sergio Leone. Written by Agenore Incrocci, Furio Scarpelli, Luciano Vincenzoni, and Sergio Leone.

For Three Men The Civil War Wasn't Hell. It Was Practice!

Blondie

 * Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. We're gonna have to earn it.
 * You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

Tuco

 * Hey, everybody, look! Look! He's giving him the filthy money! Judas! You've sold my hide! But you won't enjoy any of that money, not a penny. If there's justice, that money will go to the undertakers! Every penny of it. You know who you are? You want to know whose son you are? You don't, I do. Everybody does. You're the son of a thousand fathers! All bastards like you! And your mother? Your mother... You bastard! Your mother, it's better not to talk of her. I never hurt anybody!
 * Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive... he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!
 * If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?
 * There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door; those that come in by the window.
 * [To his brother Pablo] You think you're better than I am? Where we came from, if one did not want to die of poverty, one became a priest or a bandit! You chose your way, I chose mine. Mine was harder. You talk of our mother and father. You remember when you left to become a priest? I stayed behind! I must have been ten, twelve. I don't remember which, but I stayed. I tried, but it was no good. Now I am going to tell you something. You became a priest because you were... too much of a coward to do what I do!
 * Ah, my belly's full. Nice guy, my brother. I didn't tell you my brother was in charge here? Everything. Like the Pope, almost. He's in charge in Rome. Yeah, yeah, my brother, he say to me, "Stay, brother, don't go home. We never see each other. Here, there's plenty to eat and drink. Bring your friend, too." Whenever we see each other, he never lets me go. It's always the same story. My brother, he's crazy about me. [His tone becomes wistful] That's so... even a tramp like me, no matter what happens, I know there's a brother somewhere who'll never refuse me... a bowl of soup.
 * Hey, Blondie! You know what you are? Just a dirty son of a — [title theme plays]

Other

 * Stevens: You're... from Baker... Tell Baker that I told him all that I know already. Tell him I want to live in peace, understand? That it's no use to go on tormenting me! I know nothing at all about that case of coins. Now that gold has disappeared, but if he'd listened, we could have avoided this altogether. I went to the Army court; there were no witnesses. They couldn't uncover any more. I can't tell Baker what happened to the money; go back and tell him that!
 * Union Captain: Whoever has the most liquor to get the soldiers drunk and send them to be slaughtered, is the winner.

Dialogue

 * Baker: Here, this is for you. You did a good job for me. Five hundred dollars.
 * Angel Eyes: Oh, I almost forgot. He paid me a thousand. I think his idea was that I kill you. [they both laugh] But you know the pity is when I'm paid, I always follow my job through. You know that.
 * Baker: No! Angel Eyes! [Angel Eyes shoots him through the pillow.]

 * Mexican Bounty Hunter: [to Tuco] Hey, amigo! You know you've got a face beautiful enough to be worth $2000?
 * Blondie: [from behind] Yeah, but you don't look like the one who'll collect it.

 * Tuco: I'm an honest farmer! I’m innocent of everything!
 * Sheriff: So you’re just an honest farmer. [unrolls wanted poster] You recognize this man?
 * Tuco: Me?
 * Sheriff: Yeah, it's you.
 * Tuco: Who says so? You can't even read! Roll it up. Roll it up! I'll give you a good idea where you can put it!

 * [Angel Eyes prepares to board a stagecoach during Tuco's execution]
 * Woman on stagecoach: Glad they got him. A man guilty of all those crimes!
 * Angel Eyes: People with ropes around their necks don't always hang.
 * Woman on stagecoach: What do you mean?
 * Angel Eyes: Even a filthy beggar like that has a protecting angel.
 * [Angel Eyes looks around and catches sight of Blondie]
 * Angel Eyes: A golden-haired angel watches over him.

 * Public official [reads off Tuco's crimes]: Wanted in fourteen counties of this state, the condemned is found guilty of the crimes of murder, armed robbery of citizens, state banks and post offices, the theft of sacred objects, arson in a state prison, perjury, bigamy, deserting his wife and children, inciting prostitution, kidnapping, extortion, receiving stolen goods, selling stolen goods, passing counterfeit money, and contrary to the laws of this state, the condemned is guilty of using marked cards. Therefore, according to the powers vested in us, we sentence the accused here before us, Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez...
 * Blondie [to himself]: ... known as the "Rat"...
 * Public official [continues]: ... and any other aliases he might have, to hang by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on his soul. Proceed!

 * Tuco: What're you trying to say? Anybody can miss a shot? Nobody misses when I'm at the end of the rope. You never had a rope around your neck. Well, I'm going to tell you something. When that rope starts to pull tight, you can feel the devil bite your ass!
 * Blondie: Yeah, you're right. It's getting tougher. [throws Tuco off the horse] The way I figure, there's really not to much future with a sawed-off runt like you.
 * Tuco: What do you mean?
 * Blondie: 'Cause I don't think you'll ever be worth more than $3,000.
 * Tuco: What do you mean?
 * Blondie: I mean, our partnership is untied. Oh no, not you. You remain tied. I'll keep the money, and you can have the rope.
 * Tuco: You filthy, double-crossing bastard! Of all the stinking, dirty tricks—
 * Blondie: The way back to town is only 70 miles. Now if you save your breath, I feel a man like you could manage it. Adios. [begins riding away]
 * Tuco: You, you, you filthy bastard! Come here! Come here! Cut this rope off! Get off that horse! Get off that horse, you filthy coward! If I ever catch you, Blondie, I'll rip your heart out and eat it! I'll scalp you! I'll skin you alive! I'll hang you by your tongue! You pig! You vulture! Why, I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
 * Blondie: [stopping] Such ingratitude, after all the times I've saved your life. [rides away again]
 * Tuco: Wait a minute. Wait. This is only a trick! You won't leave me here. Come back. Wait, Blondie! Listen, Blondie! Hijo de una gran puta!

 * Tuco: [hears distant rumbling] Even when Judas hanged himself there was a storm too.
 * Blondie: That could be cannon fire.
 * Tuco: Cannon fire or storm, it's all the same to you. [holds a noose] You ever see this before, my friend? Throw it over the roof beam! That's it. Now get on that. [Blondie steps onto a stool.] That's right. Now make sure the rope is tight. It's got to hold the weight of a pig. Now put the rope around your neck. That’s very good! It's too big for your neck, huh? We’ll fix that right away. I have another system, a little different than yours. I don't shoot the rope. I shoot the legs off the stool. Adios.

 * Tuco: What about our parents?
 * Pablo: Only now do you think of them, to begin after nine years?
 * Tuco: Nine years? So it's nine years. [laughs] Nine years!
 * Pablo: Our mother has been dead a long time now. Our father died a few days ago. That's why I was away. He asked for you to be there, but there was only me.

 * Tuco: Wake up, you. There are troops coming.
 * Blondie: Are they blue or gray?
 * Tuco: Gray. They're gray like us. Let's say hello to them and then get going. [Shouting] Hurrah! Hurrah for the Confederacy! Hurrah! Down with General Grant! Hurrah for General— [to Blondie] What's his name?
 * Blondie: Lee.
 * Tuco: Lee. Lee! God's on our side 'cause He hates the Yanks, too! Hurrah!
 * Blondie: [recognizing the dusty Union uniforms] God's not on our side because He hates idiots also.

 * [Corporal Wallace is calling roll at a Union POW camp]
 * Cpl. Wallace: Bill Carson. [A Union sergeant turns around; it is Angel Eyes] Bill Carson! I said Bill Carson!
 * Tuco: Hey, Blondie. Isn't that Angel Eyes?
 * Cpl. Wallace: Alright, what's he doing, sleeping? Bill Carson!
 * Blondie: Yeah, and you better be Bill Carson.
 * Cpl. Wallace: Bill Carson!
 * Tuco: Yeah, that's me.
 * [Angel Eyes comes over and takes the roll paper from Wallace, who approaches Tuco]
 * Cpl. Wallace: Please, Carson, answer "Present". What are you, deaf? [Punches Tuco] Now suppose you say "Present," Carson.
 * Tuco: I like big fat men like you. When they fall, they make more noise, and sometimes, they never get up!

 * Captain Harper: For the last time, Sergeant, I'm telling you I want the prisoners treated as prisoners. No more brutality.
 * Angel Eyes: There's hundreds of prisoners out there and only a few men to guard 'em. Now what am I supposed to do? I have to have respect.
 * Cpt. Harper: I think that you'll manage to gain their respect by treating them better.
 * Angel Eyes: Are our men treated that well in Andersonville camp?
 * Cpt. Harper: I don't give a goddamn what they do in Andersonville. While I'm in charge here the prisoners are not to be tortured, or cheated, or murdered.
 * Angel Eyes: That an accusation?
 * Cpt. Harper: Sergeant, gangrene is eating my leg away, not my eyes. I know the prisoners here are being robbed systematically. I know there's scum around who are bivouacked near the camp, waiting for someone to deliver this loot. But as long as I'm commandant I won't permit any such trickery. Am I clear?
 * Angel Eyes: Yes, just as long as you're the commandant.
 * Cpt. Harper: Yes, Sergeant. I know this leg means I won't last very long, but I pray I can manage to have enough time to amass evidence to bring to a court-martial all those who discredit and dishonor the uniform of the Union!
 * Angel Eyes: I wish you luck.

 * Angel Eyes: [Throws Blondie some civilian clothes] The war's over for you. Put those clothes on.
 * Blondie: Why?
 * Angel Eyes: We’re going for a ride.
 * Blondie: Where?
 * Angel Eyes: To find $200,000. I know the name of the cemetery now, and you know the name on the grave.
 * Blondie: [Seeing Tuco’s blood on the floor] You're not going to give me the same treatment?
 * Angel Eyes: Would you talk?
 * Blondie: No, probably not.
 * Angel Eyes: That’s what I thought. Not that you're any tougher than Tuco, but you’re smart enough to know that talking won't save you.

 * Blondie: [counting Angel Eyes' men] One, two, three, four, five, six. Six. Perfect number.
 * Angel Eyes: Huh. Isn't three the perfect number?
 * Blondie: Mm... yeah. But I've got six more bullets in my gun.

 * One Armed Man: I've been looking for you for 8 months. Whenever I should have had a gun in my right hand, I thought of you. Now I find you in exactly the position that suits me. I had lots of time to learn to shoot with my left.
 * [Tuco kills him with a hidden gun]
 * Tuco: When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

 * Tuco: I'm very happy you are working with me! And we're together again. I get dressed, I kill him and be right back.
 * Blondie: Oh, listen, uh, I forgot to mention... He's not alone. There's five of 'em.
 * Tuco: Five?
 * Blondie: Yeah, five of 'em.
 * Tuco: So, that's why you came to Tuco. It doesn't matter, I'll kill them all.

 * Tuco: "See you soon, id... " "idi... "
 * Blondie: "Idiots". It's for you.

 * Captain Clinton: Soon you can join the gallant heroes of Branston bridge. We have two attacks a day.
 * Tuco: Two attacks a day?
 * Cpt. Clinton: Sure! The Rebs have decided that damn bridge is the key to this whole area — Stupid, useless bridge! A flyspeck on the headquarters' maps — and the headquarters has declared we must take that ridiculous flyspeck even if all of us are killed. Otherwise, the key will get rusty and just be a spot on the wall. And that's not all. Both sides want the bridge intact! Intact is how the south wants it, and we want it intact too. You'll all turn to dust, but one thing is sure, boys: Branston bridge will stand unbroken.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Tuco: The name of the cemetery is ... Sad Hill! Now it's your turn.
 * Blondie: The name on the grave is ... Arch Stanton.
 * Tuco: Arch Stanton? You sure?
 * Blondie: Yeah. Sure I'm sure.

Hi. I have removed the information you added to the Don Quixote article. Wikiquote only collects quotes from famous works -- outside of a short exposition, the only thing that should be here are quotes. If you wish to work on an encyclopedic exposition on Don Quixote, wikipedia is the place to do so. There, of course, your writing will be tested for verifiability. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:44, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

User:Greenman

I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and yes, I'm the same Greenman from the English wikipedia, as well as who tinkers with the Afrikaans wikipedia, hopefully without causing too much damage.

I'm very keen to see Wikipedia's in the other South African languages - anyone who can help please contact me.

You can get a pretty good idea of my interests by looking at the articles to which I've contributed - mostly South African interest.

I also have a [|a blog].

 * No, nothing is added automatically. WYSIWYG :) While this is a limitation of using wiki software rather than dedicated quotes-database software, I hope you will grow to appreciate the advantages. Please feel free to add these quotes to the people pages.
 * 1) If you feel a template is missing needed flexibility, please explain that on Wikiquote talk:Templates, where you can also make suggestions. We will be more than happy to work with you on better templates.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Banazir. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Banazir~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Samir Khader

Samir Khader is a Senior Producer at Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera.

 * Between us, if I'm offered a job at Fox News, I'll take it. Instantly. I will send my children to go to America after highschool, I will pay for them to go, to exchange the Arab nightmare for the American dream.
 * Khader: "No. They can’t help it, because they don’t agree with the justification for the war — WMD, ‘Saddam Hussein represents a danger for the whole international community, he has ties with al Qaeda,’ etc. Nobody believes in that." Interviewer: "But they agreed with the result, in the sense that they wanted him deposed." Khader: "Yes, but they would have preferred that the result should have come from within Iraq."
 * As long as we reported on Iraqi casualties the Americans were quiet. But when we showed American prisoners and the dead, U.S. authorities went crazy. They were trying to show their people that this is a clean war. When we showed American prisoners, they said Al Jazeera is violating the Geneva Convention. That’s just not true. But when they showed the dead bodies of the sons of Saddam, they said that was all right because how else are the Iraqi people going to know that the danger has ended.
 * If the West is genuinely interested in democracy then they will have to suffer hundreds of Al Jazeeras. There is Abu Dhabi television, Al-Arabiya (but that is under Saudi patronage), and there is a channel out of Lebanon (but they are politically close to Hezbollah). They are all very good as journalists but they are all part of the state.
 * The Internet is an American creation and it is now being used by an enemy of America. I would like to ask someone at the FBI why are they not able to catch Al Qaeda when they upload a message?

The Mummy (1999 film)

The Mummy is a 1999 film about an ancient Egyptian priest who rises from the dead to ensnare the world. It is a remake of the 1932 film starring Boris Karloff.
 * Directed and written by Stephen Sommers.

'''The sands will rise. The heavens will part. The power will be unleashed.'''taglines

Ardeth Bey

 * (narrating) Thebes, City of the Living. Crown jewel of Pharaoh Seti I. Home of Imhotep, Pharaoh's high priest, keeper of the dead; birthplace of Anck-Su-Namun, Pharaoh's mistress. No other man was allowed to touch her. But for their love, they were willing to risk life itself. To resurrect Anck-Su-Namun, Imhotep and his priests broke into her crypt and stole her body. They raced deep into the desert, taking Anck-Su-Namun's corpse to Hammunaptra, City of the Dead, ancient burial site for the sons of pharaohs, and resting place for the wealth of Egypt. For his love, Imhotep dared the gods' anger by going deep into the city, where he took the black Book of the Dead from its holy resting place. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had been sent to the dark Underworld, her vital organs removed and placed in five sacred canopic jars. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had come back from the dead. But Pharaoh's bodyguards had followed Imhotep, and stopped him before the ritual could be completed. Imhotep's priests were condemned to be mummified alive. As for Imhotep, he was condemned to endure the Hom Dai, the worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible it had never before been bestowed. He was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, the undead for all eternity. The Medjai would never allow him to be released. For he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of the ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility. For 3,000 years men and armies fought over this city not knowing what evil lay beneath it; and for 3,000 years we, the Medjai, the descendants of Pharaoh's sacred bodyguards, kept watch.

 * Know this, this creature is the bringer of death. He will never eat, he will never sleep, and he will never stop.

Rick O' Connell

 * I only gamble with my life, never my money.
 * [Finds Evie] There you are! You done playing hide-and-seek? C'mon, let's get out of here! [Sees Evie staying shock still, turns to see what she's looking at and sees Imhotep's live mummy] WOAH!!!

Captain Winston Havelock

 * Here I come, laddies!

Dialogue

 * [in 1923, at the Battle of Hamunaptra, French Foreign Legionnaires are about to make a last stand against a massive force of Tuareg horsemen charging them; the French commander abandons the Legionnaires as Rick O'Connell and Beni Gabor look on]
 * Beni: You just got promoted.
 * Rick: [shouts to the other Legionnaires] Ready and position! Steady! [to Beni] You're with me on this one, right?
 * Beni: Oh, your strength gives me strength. (after a moment, takes off running for the ruins) Wait for me!
 * [Rick looks after him, then turns back to the Legionnaires]
 * Rick: Steady! Steady! FIRE!

 * [after Evie knocks down the library shelves]
 * Evie: ...Oops.
 * Curator Terrence Bey: [entering; stutters in disbelief] What...How...? [realizes angrily] Oh look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs! Flies, locusts! Anything but you. Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!
 * Evie: I am so very sorry, it was an accident.
 * Curator Terrence Bey: An accident? My dear girl, when Ramesses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe! Look at my library! Why do I put up with you?!
 * Evie: Well, you put up with me because I can read and write in ancient Egyptian, and I can decipher hieroglyphics and hieratics... (getting angry) and well, I am the only person within a thousand miles of this place who can properly code and catalog this library, that's why!
 * Curator Terrence Bey: I put up with you because your mother and father were our finest patrons, that's why! Allah rest their souls. Now I don't care how you do it, I don't care how long it takes... straighten up this meshiver!

 * Evie: Mister O'Connell, can you look me in the eye, and guarantee me that this isn't all some kind of a flimflam? Because I am warning you...
 * Rick O'Connell: You're 'warning me'? Lady, let me put it to you this way. My whole damn garrison believed in this city so much, that - without orders - they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt just to 'find' that city. And when we got there...all we found was sand, and blood. (Evie looks stunned) Lemme get your bags.
 * Jonathan: [to Evie] Yes, you're right. Filthy, rude, complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all.

 * [seeking information on the lost city of Hamunaptra, Evie and Jonathan visit O'Connell in Cairo prison]
 * Evie: What exactly is this man in prison for?
 * Warden Gad Hassan: Well, this I did not know. But when I learned you were coming, I asked him that myself.
 * Evie: And?
 * Warden: He said he was just looking for a good time. [Rick enters with guards holding him]
 * Evie: This is the man you stole it from?
 * Jonathan: Yes, exactly. So why don't we just go slip out when--
 * Rick: Who are you? [looks at Evie] And who's the broad?
 * Evie: Broad?
 * Jonathan: Well, I'm just sort of a missionary chap, spreading the good word and that, and this is my sister, Evie.
 * Evie: How do you do?
 * Rick: Oh, well. Guess she's not so lost.
 * Evie: [offended] I beg your pardon?!
 * Warden Gad Hassan: [shouts command at someone in Arabic] I'll be back in a moment. [leaves]
 * Jonathan: [whispers to Evie] Ask him about the box.
 * Evie: We have found--uh [notices Rick looks distracted] Hello? Excuse me? We both found your puzzle box and we've come to ask you about it.
 * Rick: No.
 * Evie: No?
 * Rick: No. You've came to ask me about Hamunaptra. [Jonathan shushes]
 * Evie: [lowers voice] How did you know the box pertains to Hamunaptra?
 * Rick: Because that's where it was when I found it. I was there.
 * Jonathan: [walks closer to cage] But how do we know that's not a lot of pig swallow?
 * Rick: You know, do I know you?
 * Jonathan: No, no, no. I'm just got one of those faces--[Rick recognizes him; punches him in the face; guards hit him]
 * Evie: [steps over brother, closer to the cage] You're saying you were actually in Hamunaptra?
 * Rick: Yeah, I was there.
 * Evie: You swear?
 * Rick: Every damn day.
 * Evie: No, I didn't mean that.
 * Rick: I know what you meant. I was there. Seti's place. City of the dead.
 * Evie: Could you tell me how to get there? [looks over shoulder; takes hat off to shield face; lowers voice] I mean, the exact location?
 * Rick: You wanna know?
 * Evie: Well...yes.
 * Rick: You really wanna know?
 * Evie: Yes.
 * Rick: [beckons Evie to come closer; grabs her face and force kisses] Then get me the hell out of here! [begins to fight guards as they grab him] Do it, lady! [pulled away by guards; exits]
 * Evie: Where are they taking him!?
 * Warden: To be hanged. Apparently, he had a very good time.

 * Rick: You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?
 * Beni: What friend? You are my only friend.
 * Rick: [Picks him up and slams him on the table] Why the hell are you hanging around this guy?! What's in it for you?
 * Beni: It is better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path. As long as I serve him, I am immune.
 * Rick: [smashing him against a wardrobe] Immune from what?
 * Beni: Piszkos állat...(Filthy animal)
 * Rick: What did you say?!
 * Beni: I don't wanna tell you- you'll just hurt me some more.
 * Rick: What are you looking for? And try not to lie to me! (Holds Beni up against a ceiling fan)
 * Beni: AHH! The book! The black book they found in Hamunaptra! He wants it back! He said to me it would be worth its weight in gold!
 * Jonathan: What does he want the book for?
 * Beni: Oh come on, I don't know... (Rick shoves him closer to the fan) AH! Something about bringing his dead girlfriend back to life! But that's all, I swear! Just the book, I swear... (Rick lowers him to the floor, Beni glances at Jonathan) And your sister. (sees the look on Rick's face) but other than that...!

 * Evelyn: You told me you got it on a dig down in Thebes!
 * Johnathan: Yes, well, I was mistaken.
 * Evie: You lied to me!
 * Jonathan: I lie to everybody, what makes you so special?
 * Evelyn: I am your sister!
 * Jonathan: Yes, well, that just makes you more gullible.

 * Evie: You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.
 * Beni: (scoffs, then serious) They do?
 * Evie: Oh, yes. Always.

 * Evie: I think this may be the Book of the Dead.
 * Rick: The Book of the Dead? Are you sure you wanna be playing around with this thing?
 * Evie: It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.
 * (wind blows eerily, as it has several times during tense conversations)
 * Rick: ...That happens a lot around here.

 * Dr. Bey: We are part of an ancient secret society. For over three thousand years we have guarded the City of the Dead. We are sworn at manhood to do any and all in our power to stop the High Priest Imhotep from being reborn into this world.
 * Ardeth Bay: And now because of you, we have failed.
 * Evelyn: And you think this justifies the killing of innocent people?
 * Dr. Bey: To stop this creature? Let me think-
 * Ardeth Bay and Dr. Bey: YES!

 * Rick: Well, if it ain't my little buddy Beni! I think I'll kill you.(readies gun)
 * Beni: Think of my children!
 * Rick: You don't have any children.
 * Beni: ...Some day I might.
 * Rick: Shut up! So you're the one who's leading the Americans. So what's the scam Beni? You take them out to the middle of the desert, and then you leave them to rot!?
 * Beni: Unfortunately, no. These Americans are smart. They pay me only half now, half when I get them back to Cairo. So this time I must go all the way.
 * Rick: Them's the breaks, huh? (holsters gun)
 * Beni: You never believed in Hamunaptra, O'Connell. Why are you going back?
 * Rick: (looking at Evie) See that girl. She saved my neck.
 * Beni: You always did have more balls than brains. (laughs)
 * Rick (laughs along) Goodbye, Beni. (throws him overboard)

 * [after a shipwreck]
 * Beni: Hey, O'Connell! It looks to me like I've got all the horses!
 * Rick: Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!

 * [Rick and company are meeting an aging British flyer, Captain Winston Havelock, at his desert air station]
 * Rick: Morning, Winston. A word?
 * Winston: So what has your little problem got to do with His Majesty's Royal Air Corps?
 * Rick: Not a damn thing.
 * Winston: Is it dangerous?
 * Rick: Well, you probably won't live through it.
 * Winston: (excitedly) By Jove! Do you really think so?
 * Jonathan: Well, everybody else we've bumped into has died. Why not you?
 * Winston: [gets up] What's the- what's the challenge, then?
 * Rick: Rescue the damsel in distress, kill the bad guy, save the world.
 * [Winston laughs delightedly and salutes]
 * Winston: Winston Havelock, at your service, sir!

 * [Rick and the rest of the group make a toast; drinks their shots, then spits them out in disgust; scene cuts to show others in the bar spitting out their drinks as well]
 * Henderson: [wipes lips] Sweet Jesus! It tasted just like—
 * Rick: [drops shot glass in shock; stands up] Blood!
 * [Camera focuses on water fountain Rick is seeing; water is blood red]
 * Jonathan: [quoting from Bible] "And the rivers and waters in Egypt ran red, and were as blood..."
 * Rick: [about Imhotep] He's here...

 * (they have just walked into a large room full of gold treasure)
 * Jonathan: Can you see--
 * Rick: Yes.
 * Jonathan: Can you believe--
 * Rick: Yeah.
 * Jonathan: Can we just--
 * Rick: No.

 * Evie: (drunk) You're wondering what is a place like me doing in a girl like this?
 * Rick: Yeah, something like that.
 * Evie: Well, Egypt is in my blood. [shows picture in locket] You see, my father was a very, very famous explorer. And he loved Egypt so much, he married my mother, who was an Egyptian and an adventurer herself.
 * Rick: Yeah, I get your father, I get your mother. [points to Jonathan] I get him, but what are you doing here?
 * Evie: [offended] Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am!
 * Rick: And what is that?
 * Evie: I... am a librarian! [drops to her knees] I'm going to kiss you... Mr. O'Connell.
 * Rick: Call me Rick.
 * Evie: [Grins] Rick. [leans in closer but passes out]

 * Mr. Burns: [to Imhotep] I'm so pleased to meet you. [extends hand; Beni stops him]
 * Beni: Prince Imhotep does not like to be touched. A silly eastern superstition, I'm afraid.
 * Mr. Burns: Please forgive me. [spills tea; whimpers]
 * Beni: Mr. Burns, Prince Imhotep thanks you for your hospitality.
 * Mr. Burns: No.
 * Beni: And for your eyes, and for your tongue...
 * Mr. Burns: Wha...
 * Beni: But I'm afraid more is needed. The prince must finish the job and consummate the curse, which you and your friends have brought down upon yourselves!

 * Rick: Is he supposed to look like that?
 * Evelyn: No – no, I've never seen a mummy look like this before, he's still – still –
 * Jonathan and Rick: Juicy.
 * Evelyn: Yes, he must be over 3000 years old and he looks as if he's still decomposing.
 * Rick: [sees marks on sarcophagus lid] Hey, what do you make of this?
 * Evelyn: My god, what could this—[traces fingers over marks] Fingernails! This man was buried alive. And he left a message: "Death is only the beginning."

<hr width=50%>
 * Evelyn: We must stop him from regenerating. Who opened that chest?
 * Henderson: Well, there was me and Daniels here. And Burns, of course...
 * Daniels: And that Egyptologist fella.
 * Rick: What about my buddy Beni?
 * Henderson: Nah, he scrammed out of there before we opened the damn thing.
 * Daniels: Yeah, he was the smart one.
 * Rick: Yeah...that sounds like Beni.
 * Evelyn: We must find the Egyptologist and bring him back to the safety of the fort before the creature can get to him.
 * Rick: Right. (Points to Evelyn) She stays here. (To Daniels, Henderson and Jonathan) You three come with me.
 * [Rick turns to leave, but they all shout in protest]
 * Henderson: Oh, no way!
 * Evelyn: Just a minute, you can't just leave me behind here like some old kind of carpetbag, I mean, who put you in charge - (Rick throws her over his shoulder) O'Connell! What do you think you are doing? Jonathan! O'Connell!
 * Jonathan: Er...sorry, Evie, he's, er...a bit...tall...
 * [Rick dumps Evelyn on her bed and locks her in her bedroom.]
 * Rick: (Grabbing Daniels and holding him up by the collar) This door doesn't open. She doesn't come out and no one goes in. Right?
 * Daniels: Right.
 * Rick: (Looking at Henderson) Right?
 * Henderson: Right.
 * Rick: Let's go, Jonathan.
 * Jonathan: Er, well, I thought I could just stay at the fort, and er...reconnoiter...
 * Rick: Now!
 * Jonathan: Yeah, right, (To Americans) we're just going to rescue the, er, Egyptologist...

About

 * There are four people I have to kill to get four canopic jars that hold the vital organs of Anck-su-namun. As I kill each person, I regenerate slightly. Mummy One and Two are ILM, then Three and Four are myself and some ILM. I didin't act with any prosthetics on when it came to Mummy Four; for the third I had some prosthetics. For that and Mummy Four, I had pieces of plastic on my body that I acted with, little tracking markers. They were little soft, pliable, plastic shapes - a round one, a square, oblong or whatever - which to ILM represented the holes in my body. That's where they drew in whatever they wanted - rotten teeth for the one stuck on my face; where it was stuck on my neck, they drew in muscles and decayed flesh. It's sort of like half of my flesh has come back, and the other half is still decayed. If they pull this off, they surely must win every award in sight for that kind of effects. It's going to be amazing.

The World Is Flat

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century (2005) is a best-selling book by Thomas L. Friedman analyzing the progress of globalization with an emphasis on the early 21st century.

Quotes

 * Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.
 * Attributed to an African proverb in Ch. 2, Flattener #6 (p. 137 in the 2006 edition)
