Beyond the Fringe

Beyond the Fringe is a theatrical revue written and performed by Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Dudley Moore. It debuted at the Edinburgh Festival in 1960, later transferring to London's West End (at the Fortune Theatre from 1961) and Broadway (John Golden Theatre from 1962). Quotations are cited from The Complete Beyond the Fringe (1993) edited by Roger Wilmut.

Alan Bennett

 * Now I can see one or two of you are thinking, now look here, what if one of our American friends makes a boo-boo, presses the wrong button, and sends up one of their missiles by mistake? It could not happen. You see, before they press that button they've got to get on the telephone to number 10 Downing Street, and say, "Now look, Mr. Macmillan, Sir, can I press this button?" And Mr. Macmillan will say "yes" — or "no" — as the mood takes him.
 * "Civil War"

 * Life, you know, is rather like opening a tin of sardines. We are all of us looking for the key. And, I wonder, how many of you here tonight have wasted years of your lives looking behind the kitchen dressers of this life for that key.
 * "Take a Pew"

 * Others think they've found the key, don't they? They roll back the lid of the sardine tin of life, they reveal the sardines, the riches of life, therein, and they get them out, they enjoy them. But, you know, there's always a little bit in the corner you can't get out. I wonder — I wonder, is there a little bit in the corner of your life? I know there is in mine.
 * "Take a Pew"

Peter Cook

 * I'd like to make one thing quite clear at the outset. When you speak of a "train robbery", this in fact involved no loss of train.
 * "The Great Train Robbery"

 * I went first to Germany, and there I spoke with the German Foreign Minister, Herr...Herr and there, and we exchanged many frank words in our respective languages; so precious little came of that in the way of understanding. I would, however, emphasise that the little that came of it was indeed, truly, precious.
 * "T.V.P.M."

 * That is not to say that we do not have our own Nuclear Striking Force — we do, we have the Blue Steel; a very effective missile, as it has a range of one hundred and fifty miles, which means that we can just about get Paris — and, by God, we will.
 * "T.V.P.M."

 * Now, we shall receive four minutes warning of any impending nuclear attack. Some people have said, "Oh my goodness me — four minutes? — that is not a very long time!" Well, I would remind those doubters that some people in this great country of ours can run a mile in four minutes.
 * "Civil War"

 * Yes, I could have been a judge but I never had the Latin, never had the Latin for the judging, I just never had sufficient of it to get through the rigorous judging exams.
 * "Sitting on the Bench"

 * I managed to get through the mining exams — they're not very rigorous, they only ask one question, they say, "What is your name?", and I got 50 per cent on that.
 * "Sitting on the Bench"

 * I am very interested in the Universe — I am specialising in the Universe and all that surrounds it.
 * "Sitting on the Bench"

 * The young lady who modelled for Constable was Alice Lauderdale, who was the young lady who came in and did for Constable — practically any woman would do for Constable. She, in any case, used to come in and dust around in the nude, and Constable would get her down on the canvas and immortalise her. As you see, in most of his paintings of Alice he has been forced to disguise her as arable land.
 * "Under Canvas"

 * The leg division, Mr. Spiggott. You are deficient in it — to the tune of one. Your right leg I like. I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role. That's what I said when I saw you come in. I said, "A lovely leg for the role." I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is — neither have you.
 * "One Leg Too Few"

Jonathan Miller

 * There's that marvellous unpunctuated motto over the lavatory saying, "Gentlemen lift the seat". What exactly does this mean? Is it a sociological description — a definition of a gentleman which I can either take or leave? Or perhaps it's a Loyal Toast? It could be a blunt military order, or an invitation to upper-class larceny.
 * "The Heat-Death of the Universe"
 * In fact, I'm not really a Jew, just Jew-ish. Not the whole hog, you know.
 * "Real Class"
 * Please, don't call me "vicar". Call me Dick. That's the sort of vicar I am.
 * "Man Bites God"

Dialogue

 * Peter Cook: I want you to lay down your life, Perkins. We need a futile gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war. Get up in a crate, Perkins, pop over to Bremen, take a shufti, don't come back. Goodbye, Perkins. God, I wish I was going too.
 * Jonathan Miller: Goodbye, sir — or is it — au revoir?
 * Peter Cook: No, Perkins.
 * "Aftermyth of War"

 * Alan Bennett: I think there is a danger though of seeing the colour problem simply in terms of black and white.
 * Peter Cook: It's a lot more complicated than that.
 * Dudley Moore: I gather the Negroes are sweeping the country.
 * Jonathan Miller: They are. It's one of the few jobs they can get.
 * "Home Thoughts From Abroad"

 * Peter Cook: We are using the technology known as the "Identikit." Are you familiar with it?
 * Alan Bennett: Isn't that where you piece together the face of the criminal?
 * Peter Cook: Not entirely, no. We're only able to piece together the appearance of the face of the criminal. We can't quite piece together the actual face of the criminal, unfortunately. Once you've located the face of the criminal, the rest of him isn't hard to find.
 * "The Great Train Robbery"

 * Peter Cook: Through this wonderful system of "Identikit", we have pieced together an extremely good likeness of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
 * Alan Bennett: So His Grace is your number one suspect?
 * Peter Cook: Well, let me put it this way — His Grace is the man we are currently beating the living daylights out of down at the Yard.
 * "The Great Train Robbery"

 * Peter Cook: Now, Mr. Spiggott, you, a one-legged man, are applying for the role of Tarzan — a role which traditionally involves the use of a two-legged actor.
 * Dudley Moore: Correct.
 * Peter Cook: And yet you, a unidexter, are applying for the role.
 * Dudley Moore: Right.
 * Peter Cook: A role for which two legs would seem to be the minimum requirement.
 * "One Leg Too Few"

 * Peter Cook: Up here on the mountain we shall be safe, safe as houses.
 * Alan Bennett: And what will happen to the houses?
 * Peter Cook: Oh, well, naturally the houses will all be swept away, and consumèd by the fire what is dancing on the firmament...and serve 'em bloody well right!
 * "The End of the World"

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 John David Robinson. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name John David Robinson~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.

I would let you know my reverting on FAQ. I understand your argument (it doesn't mean automatically I am for your argument thought), but in my opinion it would be better to have a discussion before rewriting the page drastically. I would also invite you not only for registration but also discussion on Wikiquote talk:FAQ.

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 Runa27. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Runa27~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.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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 Mikeshortman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mikeshortman~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.

Please pay attention to the proper formatting when adding quotes. I fixed the formatting of your additions once, but then you basically reversed my fixes. Take a look at my editing, and at the Templates used on wikiquote before making more edits. if you need help, let me know. Thanks. ~ UDScott 21:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I've reverted your recent edits - I purposely cut quotes from the first few two seasons last week so that we could avoid a copyright violation. We need to keep the number of quotes per episode down to around 8-9. Thanks. ~ UDScott 01:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Theodore Roethke

Theodore Huebner Roethke (IPA: ['ɹ ɛ t.ki]; RET-key) (25 May 1908 – 1 August 1963) was an American poet who published several volumes of poetry characterized by their rhythm and natural imagery. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1954 for his book, The Waking.

Open House (1941)

 * My secrets cry aloud. I have no need for tongue. My heart keeps open house, My doors are widely swung. An epic of the eyes My love, with no disguise.
 * "Open House," ll. 1-6

 * My truths are all foreknown, This anguish self-revealed. I’m naked to the bone, With nakedness my shield.
 * "Open House," ll. 7 - 11

 * The light comes brighter from the east; the caw Of restive crows is sharper on the ear.
 * "The Light Comes Brighter," ll. 1-2

 * And soon a branch, part of a hidden scene, The leafy mind, that long was tightly furled, Will turn its private substance into green, And young shoots spread upon our inner world.
 * "The Light Comes Brighter," ll. 17-20

 * He loops in crazy figures half the night Among the trees that face the corner light. But when he brushes up against a screen, We are afraid of what our eyes have seen: For something is amiss or out of place When mice with wings can wear a human face.
 * "The Bat," ll. 5-10

The Lost Son and Other Poems (1948)

 * This urge, wrestle, resurrection of dry sticks, Cut stems struggling to put down feet, What saint strained so much, Rose on such lopped limbs to a new life?
 * "Cuttings (later)," ll. 1-4

 * Nothing would sleep in that cellar, dank as a ditch
 * "Root Cellar," l. 1

 * Nothing would give up life: Even the dirt kept breathing a small breath.
 * "Root Cellar," ll. 10-11

 * I always felt mean, jogging back over the logging road, As if I had broken the natural order of things in that swampland; Disturbed some rhythm, old and of vast importance, By pulling off flesh from the living planet; As if I had committed, against the whole scheme of life, a desecration.
 * "Moss-Gathering," ll. 9-13

 * Like witches they flew along rows, Keeping creation at ease; With a tendril for needle They sewed up the air with a stem; They teased out the seed that the cold kept asleep, — All the coils, loops and whorls. They trellised the sun; they plotted for more than themselves.
 * "Frau Bauman, Frau Schmidt, and Frau Schwartze," ll. 19-25

 * The whiskey on your breath Could make a small boy dizzy; But I hung on like death: Such waltzing was not easy.
 * "My Papa's Waltz," ll. 1-4

 * Over the gulfs of dream Flew a tremendous bird Further and further away Into a moonless black, Deep in the brain, far back.
 * "Night Crow," ll. 4-8

 * I study the lives on a leaf: the little Sleepers, numb nudgers in cold dimensions.
 * "The Minimal," ll. 1-2

 * At Woodlawn I Heard the dead cry: I was lulled by the slamming of iron, A slow drip over stones, Toads brooding wells.
 * The Lost Son, ll. 1-4

 * I shook the softening chalk of my bones, Saying, Snail, snail, glister me forward, Bird, soft-sigh me home, Worm, be with me. This is my hard time.
 * "The Lost Son," ll. 8-11

Say something.''' Appear in the form of a spider Or a moth beating the curtain.
 * '''Voice, come out of the silence.

Tell me: Which is the way I take; Out of what door` do I go, Where and to whom?

Dark hollows said, lee to the wind, The moon said, back of an eel, The salt said, look by the sea, Your tears are not enough praise, You will find no comfort here, In the kingdom of bang and blab.
 * The Lost Son, ll. 24 - 35

 * Who stunned the dirt into noise? Ask the mole, he knows. I feel the slime of a wet nest. Beware Mother Mildew. Nibble again, fish nerves.
 * "The Lost Son," ll. 66-70

 * Goodbye, goodbye, old stones, the time-order is going, I have married my hands to perpetual agitation, I run, I run to the whistle of money.
 * Money money money
 * Water water water.
 * "The Lost Son," ll. 107-111

 * The mind moved, not alone, Through the clear air, in the silence.
 * Was it light?
 * Was it light within?
 * Was it light within light?
 * Stillness becoming alive,
 * Yet still?
 * The Lost Son, ll. 161 - 167

 * A lively understandable spirit Once entertained you. It will come again. Be still. Wait.
 * The Lost Son," ll. 168-172

 * I saw the separateness of all things! My heart lifted up with the great grasses; The weeds believed me, and the nesting birds.
 * "A Field of Light," ll. 45-47

 * The wind sharpened itself on a rock; A voice sang:
 * Pleasure on ground
 * Has no sound,
 * Easily maddens
 * The uneasy man.
 * "The Shape of the Fire," ll. 40 - 45

 * Mother of quartz, your words writhe into my ear. Renew the light, lewd whisper.
 * "The Shape of the Fire," ll. 54 - 55

 * The wasp waits. The edge cannot eat the center. The grape listens. The path tells little to the serpent. An eye comes out of the wave. The journey from flesh is longest. A rose sways least. The redeemer comes a dark way.
 * "The Shape of the Fire," ll. 56-63

 * Death was not. I lived in a simple drowse: Hands and hair moved through a dream of wakening blossoms. Rain sweetened the cave and the dove still called; The flowers leaned on themselves, the flowers in hollows; And love, love sang toward.
 * "The Shape of the Fire," ll. 73-77

 * To stare into the after-light, the glitter left on the lake's surface, When the sun has fallen behind a wooded island; To follow the drips sliding from a lifted oar Held up, while the rower breathes, and the small boat drifts quietly shoreward; To know that light falls and fills, often without our knowing.
 * The Shape of the Fire," ll. 88-92

Praise to the End! (1951)

 * I'll seek my own meekness. What grace I have is enough. The lost have their own pace. The stalks ask something else. What the grave says, The nest denies.
 * "Unfold! Unfold!," ll. 59-64

 * Bless me and the maze I'm in! Hello, thingy spirit.
 * "I Cry, Love! Love!," ll. 20-21

 * Beginnings start without shade, Thinner than minnows. The live grass whirls with the sun, Feet run over the simple stones, There's time enough. Behold, in the lout's eye, love.
 * "I Cry, Love! Love!," ll. 33-39

The Waking (1953)

 * I take this cadence from a man named Yeats: I take it and I give it back again: For other tunes and other wanton beats Have tossed my heart and fiddled through my brain. Yes, I was dancing mad, and how That came to be the bears and Yeats would know.
 * "Four for Sir John Davies," ll. 19-24

 * Dante attained the purgatorial hill, Trembled at hidden virtue without flaw, Shook with a mighty power beyond his will, — Did Beatrice deny what Dante saw? All lovers live by longing, and endure: Summon a vision and declare it pure.
 * "Four for Sir John Davies," ll. 73-78

The Waking

 * I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go.

 * Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

 * Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

 * This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Words for the Wind (1958)

 * I knew a woman, lovely in her bones, When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them; Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one: The shapes a bright container can contain!
 * "I Knew a Woman," ll. 1 - 4

 * Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay: I'm martyr to a motion not my own; What's freedom for? To know eternity. I swear she cast a shadow white as stone. But who would count eternity in days? These old bones live to learn her wanton ways: (I measure time by how a body sways.)
 * "I Knew a Woman," ll. 22-28

 * Is pain a promise? I was schooled in pain, And found out what I could of all desire; I weep for what I'm like when I'm alone In the deep center of the voice and fire. I know the motion of the deepest stone. Each one's himself, yet each one's everyone.
 * "The Sententious Man," ll. 31-36

 * The night wind rises. Does my father live? Dark hangs upon the waters of the soul. My flesh is breathing slower than a wall. Love alters all. Unblood my instinct, love.
 * "The Renewal," ll. 7-10

 * I lived with deep roots once: Have I forgotten their ways — The gradual embrace Of lichen around stones?
 * "Plaint," ll. 13-16

 * The moon draws back its waters from the shore. By the lake's edge, I see a silver swan, And she is what I would. In this light air, Lost opposites bend down — Sing of that nothing of which all is made, Or listen into silence, like a god.
 * "The Swan," ll. 15-20

 * How can I rest in the days of my slowness? I've become a strange piece of flesh, Nervous and cold, bird-furtive, whiskery, With a cheek soft as a hound's ear. What's left is light as a seed; I need an old crone's knowing.
 * "Meditations of an Old Woman: First Meditation," ll. 15-21

 * I have gone into the waste lonely places Behind the eye.
 * "Meditations of an Old Woman: First Meditation," ll. 76-77

The Far Field (1964)

 * Too much reality can be a dazzle, a surfeit; Too close immediacy an exhaustion
 * "The Abyss"

 * A terrible violence of creation, A flash into the burning heart of the abominable; Yet if we wait, unafraid, beyond the fearful instant, The burning lake turns into a forest pool, The fire subsides into rings of water, A sunlit silence.
 * "The Abyss"

 * Being, not doing, is my first joy.
 * "The Abyss," l. 100

 * To whom does this terrace belong? — With its limestone crumbling into fine greyish dust, Its bevy of bees, and its wind-beaten rickety sun-chairs? Not to me, but this lizard, Older than I, or the cockroach.
 * "The Lizard," ll. 27-31

 * Pain wanders through my bones like a lost fire; What burns me now? Desire, desire, desire.
 * "The Marrow," ll. 11-12

 * I bleed my bones, their marrow to bestow Upon that God who knows what I would know.
 * "The Marrow," ll. 23-24

 * Let others probe the mystery if they can. Time-harried prisoners of Shall and Will — The right thing happens to the happy man.
 * "The Right Thing," ll. 1-3

 * God bless the roots! — Body and soul are one! The small become the great, the great the small; The right thing happens to the happy man.
 * "The Right Thing," ll. 7-9

 * And I dance with William Blake For love, for Love's sake; And everything comes to One, As we dance on, dance on, dance on.
 * "Once More, the Round," ll. 11-12

Poetry and Craft (1965)

 * Copper Canyon Press, 2001, ISBN 1-55659-156-X

 * Poetry is not a mere shuffling of dead words or even a corralling of live ones. (p. 89)

 * In our age, if a boy or girl is untalented, the odds are in favor of their thinking they want to write. (p. 89)

 * There's an element of desperation in the insistence of the graduate student's respect for knowledge — as opposed to wisdom. (p. 95)

 * The poem, even a short time after being written, seems no miracle; unwritten, it seems something beyond the capacity of the gods.

 * Art is the means we have of undoing the damage of haste. It's what everything else isn't.

 * You can't make poetry simply by avoiding clichés.

 * There's a point where plainness is no longer a virtue, when it becomes excessively bald, wrenched.

 * You must believe: a poem is a holy thing — a good poem, that is.

Prevously Uncollected Poems (1975)

 * From The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke, Doubleday, 1975, ISBN 0-385-08601-6

 * Yet for this we travelled With hope, and not alone, In the country of ourselves, In a country of bright stone.
 * "The Harsh Country," ll. 13-16

The Nutty Professor (1996 film)

The Nutty Professor is a 1996 film about grossly overweight Prof. Sherman Klump, desperate to lose weight takes a special chemical that turns him into the slim but obnoxious Buddy Love. Inside Sherman Klump, a party animal is about to break out.

Sherman Klump / Buddy Love

 * I'm thin!
 * NO TITTIES! NO TITTIES! NO TITTIES! [to an attractive woman next to him] Not you, me. I’m talking about me. My titties are gone. Your titties are lovely. What’s your name?
 * Ok, fat jokes! You wanna do fat jokes? Alright! Your mother's so fat, the bitch needs Thomas Guide to find her asshole! Alright! Wait, wait, wait, your mother's so fat, after sex I roll over twice, and I'm still on the bitch! Your mother is so fat, she fell in the Grand Canyon and got stuck! Reggie's mother's so fat, that the bitch gets her toenails painted at Earl Scheib! Earl Scheib! At Earl Scheib! Reggie's mama is so fat, her blood type is Rocky Road! His mother is so fat, her belt size is Equator. Get it, equator.
 * I heard of dreadlocks, but shitlocks?
 * If you give me a moment, I believe I can try to explain. My research is, um... Well, when I started out, I wanted to help people. But I became desperate and selfish. What I did was wrong. Buddy's who I thought the whole world wanted me to be. He's who I thought I wanted to be. And sometimes when you want something so so bad, you do just about anything to get it. But I learned one thing from Buddy. I learned that life isn't about being happy with how much you weigh, but just being happy with yourself. I'm terribly sorry about all of this, I hope I haven't ruined everybody's evening. Please excuse me. I'm sorry.
 * The truth is, Carla, I'm a big man. Now I will lose weight, but I'm always gonna be big no matter what I do. So anyone I end up with is just going to have to accept me for who I am. More importantly, I'm going to have to accept myself for who I am.
 * Why, thank you very much, I'm fatter-I'm flattered!

Others

 * Grandma Klump: I hope your butt turn into a frog.
 * Mother Klump: Don't break gas and destroy our meal.
 * Papa Klump: You want your colon cleansed? Fine, I'm gonna clean mine! (breaks wind)

Dialogue

 * Sherman: [sadly] Thank you for the dinner, Mama.
 * Anna Klump: [concerned] Sherman, what's wrong with you? Baby, you still worried about what your father said in there? [understanding] Ohhh...Son, listen to me you are special. And when the Good Lord made you, he made you beautiful inside and out. You can do anything Sherman...all you have to do is believe in yourself and you can do anything.

 * Anna Klump: You know, Sherman, I think I do remember hearing something on TV about colon cleansing. They say everyone should have one. I'm thinking about getting me an appointment to go down and get my colon cleansed thoroughly.
 * Cletus Klump: You want your colon cleansed? Fine, I'm gonna clean mine!
 * [Farts loudly. Ernie Jr. starts laughing hysterically]
 * Cletus Klump: See that? Now my colon is clean. I'm talking, squeaky clean.
 * Anna Klump: Cletus, every time we're having a meal, you always gotta go off breaking gas. Don't break gas and destroy our meal!
 * Cletus Klump: Don't tell me to stop! You're the one who brought up colon cleansin' and all that mess!
 * Anna Klump: I did not say anything about breaking gas! I was talking about getting my colon clean!
 * Cletus Klump: Don't you talk about stickin' a tube up somebody's ass, but I can't break wind.
 * Anna Klump: I didn't say nothin' about stickin' no hose up nobody's ass, Cletus-
 * Cletus Klump: What do you think a colonic is? You think yo gonna run yo asshole by the car wash?

 * Reggie Warrington: Whoo-whoo! It's a full moon tonight! I think I found where they hid Jimmy Hoffa!
 * Sherman Klump: [pretending to laugh] Yeah! Yeah, that's a good one there.
 * Reggie Warrington: Oh boy, you got more crack than Harlem! Boy's so fat, every time I turn around, it's his birthday! Boy, you gotta put a belt on with a boomerang!
 * Sherman Klump: Okay, now, alright! That's it, got me!
 * Reggie Warrington: Oh no. No, I ain't got you yet! Should I get him? [crowd cheers] SHOULD I GET HIM?! [crowd cheers again]
 * Reggie Warrington: Oh, look at this, he' with a woman too! Oh, no! Who's sucking whose chest over here?! Last time he got a breast, it was in a bucket of KFC! Extra Krispy! Every time he goes to Sea World, they tame him! He must be on that new diet, Slim Slow! He go outside with a red shirt on, all the kids in the neighborhood shout "Hey! Kool Aid!" Yeah, man! I bet I cut his fat ass open, he'll bleed chocolate milk! What would you do for a Klondike bar?! Now we know what's been eating Gilbert Grape, don't we?!

 * Buddy Love: [arriving to "The Scream" for his date] You are too fine to be giving me curbside service!
 * Carla Purdy: [angrily] I'm not, I'm leaving.
 * Buddy Love: What are you talking about leaving? We just got here!
 * Carla Purdy: No, you just got here, I've been waiting for you for almost an hour!
 * Buddy Love: Hey, now they say anticipation helps make the appetite grow stronger, if you know what I mean.
 * Carla Purdy: Anticipate the night alone.
 * Buddy Love: Hey, hey, let's just have a meal together! Why you leaving? Hey-what, do you want me to beg you?! I get down on my knees! I'm begging in front of all these people! You think I care that all these people are watching? I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!!! I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I WAS LATE, AND I'M SORRY!!! My car ran out of gas! I needed fresh drawers! My mother's sick! The car broke down on the street! I'm so sorry!
 * Carla Purdy: [embarrassed] Buddy, get up.
 * Buddy Love: No, listen, you gotta hear me out! Now, I am sorry! I don't know why this happened tonight! Of all nights, this has to happen to me tonight! WHYYYY?!
 * Carla Purdy: Okay.
 * Buddy Love: WHYYYYYY?!
 * Carla Purdy: Okay!
 * Buddy Love: WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
 * Carla Purdy: Okay, okay, okay!!!
 * Buddy Love: [instantly changes mood] Okay good, let's eat! I am SO hungry. Hey, don't let the tears fool you, I'm a tooth chipper.

 * Carla Purty: [looking at Buddy's plates] Six T-Bones, five baked potatoes, and two servings of creamed spinach. I have NEVER seen anyone eat so much. You are so lucky to stay so thin.
 * Buddy Love: Oh, "lucky" has nothing to do with it. It's a matter of recombinant ribonucleic acids unzipped by a radioactive guanine peptide.
 * Carla Purty:...And what does that mean?
 * Buddy Love: I dunno, I was just trying to sound extra intelligent. Gotcha! You gonna eat that?

 * Buddy Love: Ok, fat jokes! You wanna do fat jokes? Alright! Your mother's so fat, the bitch needs Thomas Guide to find her asshole! Alright! Wait, wait, wait, your mother's so fat, after sex I roll over twice, and I'm still on the bitch! Your mother is so fat, she fell in the Grand Canyon and got stuck! Reggie's mother's so fat, that the bitch gets her toenails painted at Earl Scheib! Earl Scheib! At Earl Scheib! HAHAHAHAHAHA! [walks onto the stage, still laughing hysterically]
 * Reggie Warrington: Hey, hey, get off the stage, man! You ain't in show business.
 * Buddy Love: Reggie's mama is so fat, her blood type is Rocky Road! His mother is so fat, her belt size is Equator. Get it, equator. Let's give a big round of applause for Reggie's mama's ass, that brought us so much joy tonight. That's a big ass!
 * Reggie Warrington: ENOUGH! SILENCE! I can't take this shit no more! Now you done talked about me enough, boy! I tried to be peaceful, but now it's time for Reggie to "Karatacize" your ass!
 * Buddy Love: Whooooo!
 * Reggie Warrington: Aw yeah.
 * [Reggie takes off hat, revealing his ridiculous-looking hair, and Buddy and the audience start laughing.]
 * Buddy Love: Oh, Reggie! I've heard of "Dreadlocks", but "Shitlocks"?! That's not your hair! Take that pile of shit off your head, man! You’re craz- you just go too far with the comedy!
 * Reggie Warrington: [karate yells] Come on! Come on!
 * Buddy Love: What’s that?
 * Reggie Warrington: Aw yeah, that’s my style boy, you didn’t know Reggie studied.
 * Buddy Love: What style is that?
 * Reggie Warrington: It’s called "kick your ass" style, boy!
 * Buddy Love: Oh shit.
 * Reggie Warrington: Reggie done studied on the streets!
 * [Reggie tries to kick Buddy, but Buddy grabs his foot, and flips him over. Buddy laughs hysterically, Reggie glowers, and turns back around]
 * Reggie Warrington: Aw, you quick, but I’m quicker. Watch my feet.
 * Buddy Love: Well, come on with it.
 * Reggie Warrington: Imma come on with it, Imma come on with it, Imma co-[karate yells again]
 * [Reggie tries to punch him, but Buddy grabs his arm, twists it, and bangs his head on the edge of the piano. He and Buddy sit at the piano.]
 * Buddy Love: Ladies and gentlemen, me and Reggie wanna send one out to a very special lady in the house tonight! [to Carla Purdy] Loving you, is easy ‘cause you're beautiful! Do-do-do-do-do! Reggie?
 * [Buddy cracks Reggie's hand]
 * Reggie Warrington: AAAAAUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH... leggo.
 * Buddy Love: That was pretty! Ladies and gentlemen, Reggie has left the building! Thank you, and good night!
 * [Buddy throws Reggie into the piano.]

 * Dean Richmond: Oh, with you, it's always business. Let's get to know each other, man-to-man. Now, if our files are correct, you and your fabulous wife have a terrific daughter.
 * Harlan Hartley: I'm divorced and my daughter is in rehab.
 * Dean Richmond: So you're saying our files are NOT correct.
 * Harlan Hartley: Listen, you pompous butt-kisser. I have a check in my pocket for $10 million. Your Buddy Love has until midnight to prove that formula works.

 * Buddy Love: Carla, are you ready to go upstairs? [Carla slaps him] I guess not. Hey, wait, Carla! Where are you going? What's your problem?
 * Carla Purty: [points to three women] THEY'RE my problem! You can handle all three of them, huh?!
 * Buddy Love: Oh, well, I was thinking after dinner, you'd want a little group activity. After all, Buddy does have a lot of love to give.[winks at her]
 * Carla Purty: Ooh, you are one sick, twisted freak!
 * Buddy Love: Hey Carla, where you going? Wha-? Go on, leave! There's more titties over here anyway! Yeah. More titties!

 * Buddy Love: I lost 300 pounds in 30 seconds! [he took a megashake] Thanks, Megashake!
 * Jason: [angrily; about Sherman] YOU TRICKED HIM!
 * Buddy Love: Oh, you damn right, hamster boy. I knew Sherman was gonna go soft on me. That can wreak havoc on a man's sex life. [laughs] See, I've done some calculations of my own. If I drink 500 milliters of formula, I'll have enough cellular stability to be rid of Sherman's ass forever!
 * Jason: No. You drink that much formula at one time and it will kill you!
 * Buddy Love: If I drink it all at once, yes. If I drink half now and half later, that's completely safe. And at midnight, I don't have to worry about turning into no Klumpkin. Now if you don't mind, I have a date at the alumni ball, and you have a date with linoleum!
 * Jason: Who?
 * [Buddy punches Jason, who falls to the floor in a heap]

 * Buddy Love: Ladies and gentlemen, for my final demonstration - look out, David Copperfield - I'm about to make a 400-pound fat man... disappear FOREVER! [produces a vial of serum]
 * Jason: [off-screen] NOOO!!! [enters the auditorium; angrily advances towards the stage] Wait! I can not... let you do this... any more! This... has got... to stop! [runs onto the stage; stands next to Buddy and points at him] This man is trying to kill Professor Sherman Klump!
 * Papa Klump: Oh, that's it! I'm glad I brought my knife! [reaches into his pocket]
 * Mama Klump: Mm-hmm. And I got my razor. [opens her purse]
 * Jason: [to Buddy] Hand over the vial now!
 * Buddy Love: Oh, sure thing, hamster boy! But first, a short musical interlude! [punches Jason, sending him flying into some trombones; the audience gasps]
 * Carla Purty: [angry] BUDDY! What has gotten into you, and where's Sherman?!
 * Buddy Love: Sherman is GONE! Disappeared! [more gasps; Mama and Papa Klump look at each other in confusion] And that's a pretty good trick for a man with an ass as big as his! [his watch beeps] Ooh, I'm late for an appointment. Ladies and gentlemen, say goodbye to Sherman Klump! [prepares to drink the vial, but Jason pops back up]
 * Jason: I hate being called "hamster boy". [punches Buddy, causing him to drop the vial; the audience gasps again. He then clutches his fist in pain]
 * Buddy Love: [amused] You just don't know when to quit, do you? [goes to punch Jason again, but Sherman's fist appears instead of his; the audience gasps once more] It's too late, fat boy. It's over! Let go! Let go! [but Sherman grabs Buddy's neck, choking]
 * Mama Klump: My goodness!
 * Papa Klump: Damn!
 * Buddy Love: [still choking] Give it up, fat boy! It's over!
 * Sherman Klump: [appears] It ain't over 'till the fat professor sings!
 * [Mama Klump yells]
 * Buddy Love: Let go of my hand, you fat mother-
 * Sherman Klump: Say one more word, Buddy, I'll tear your arm off!
 * Buddy Love: It's time... we take... Nestea... plunge! [punches Sherman's stomach, Mama Klump faints, punches Sherman 3 times]
 * Mama Klump: Whoo! [whimpering]
 * Papa Klump: Gonna get the hell outta here in a second. It's okay.
 * [Buddy tries to drink the vial that almost kills Sherman, but he grabs Buddy's hand again and drops the vial on the floor, which Sherman stomps]

 * [During this fight, the alternating control of Klump/Love's joint body is represented by Love's normal face bulging out to resemble Sherman's]
 * Buddy Love: SHERMAN, DON'T DO THIS! YOU NEED ME!!!!!
 * Sherman Klump: NO, I DON'T!
 * Buddy Love: [slaps Sherman] You fat ass!
 * Sherman Klump: [slaps Buddy] Tinkerbell!
 * Buddy Love: [slaps Sherman] Blubber butt!
 * Sherman Klump: [slaps Buddy] Featherweight!
 * Papa Klump: Somebody better call an exorcist!
 * Buddy Love: Sherman! Sherman! YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!!!!!
 * Papa Klump: This is some scary shit!
 * Sherman Klump: [punches Buddy several times] YES... I... CAN!!!!!
 * [Buddy's watch beeps; he starts to feel dizzy]
 * Anna Klump: Sherman, come back here! [claps her hands] Sherman!
 * Buddy Love: [clutches his head] What's happenin' to me? Everything's gettin' real dark! Oh, I feel real jiggly! I'm blubbifyin'! Sherman, you needed me! I taught you to be confident! You needed me, Sherman! Sherman, no matter what, no matter what... you got to strut.

 * Carla Purty: You know something I couldn't stand about Buddy?
 * Sherman Klump: What's that?
 * Carla Purty: He was too damn scrawny.
