Ned kelley
This sub-stub is bad on at least three counts. First, it appears to be about Ned Kelly, so it's mispelled and miscapitalized. Second, the sole quote not only has no source, but doesn't even have an accurate date. (It claims "1804" when Kelly lived 1855–1880, according to the WP article.) Finally, it has no structure or link to the WP article. (I was lucky to find the quote in the correctly spelled WP article so I could identify the subject.) One must also ask whether this person would even have more than the single quote he is apparently known for. Delete unless made into a minimally useful stub article with a properly sourced quote and some hope of having more than 1 quote ever. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed: Result: Delete. We already have Ned Kelly. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 16:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. "Such is life" was indeed the resigned last words of Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and I think they are in Famous last words as such. Don't see the point in a separate page for this one quote and certainly he didn't say it in 1804. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 11:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

October Road (TV series)

October Road (2007–2008) is an ABC television series about a young acclaimed novelist/screenwriter, who has written a best-selling novel based on his hometown friends. He is at a crossroads in his life when he returns to his hometown to teach at the local university, and face the family and friends he left behind.

Pilot [1.1]

 * Editor: Dufresne College called. They wanna know if you'd be interested in teaching a one-day intensive on the art of the novel.
 * Nick: Not so much. Dufresne College---that's in my hometown. I haven't been back there in 10 years. There's some people there that might not be so happy to see me.
 * Editor: Maybe that's why you're blocked. Go back there. Make peace with it all. You've got to get past your fears, kiddo. G. Gordon Liddy was afraid of rats, so he cooked one up and ate it. Fear gone.
 * Nick: If you're suggesting that I cook and eat my old friends, I can assure you, in their opinion, I already have.

 * Hannah: You've been gone how long now?
 * Nick: Ten years.
 * Hannah: Right. I think it was two weeks before my 18th birthday that you left. Yes, I'm quite sure because I remember getting those roses, thinking they were for my birthday, but they weren't. They were a goodbye present as in, goodbye I'm no longer in your present.
 * Nick: I can explain.
 * Hannah: It's not necessary.
 * Nick: Hannah---
 * Hannah: Truly, don't sweat it. I should go. Um... are you, are you staying long?
 * Nick: Leave Sunday.

 * Nick: How old is Sam?
 * Hannah: He turns 10 in two months.
 * Nick: Ten...
 * Hannah: Ten...
 * [Owen says good-bye to Sam and Sam goes to the door]
 * Hannah: Umm... good-bye Nick. Good Luck.
 * [turns to leave but turns back around]
 * Hannah: And don't worry, he's not yours.

 * Nick: Look, I really am sorry, Eddie. I never thought anyone would get torn up in the process, especially you. I left here that summer with every intention of coming back to the Ridge. Then on the last night of the trip... I'm literally packing my bags and... I remembered something mom told me before she died. She said "You gotta promise me, Nicky... never to settle for anything less than unexpected adventure." And I couldn't kick the feeling that if I came back here, I'd be have giving up on that. It's like once I stayed away... staying away became a way. Any of this make sense?

 * [Flashback: Hannah and Nick are in bed together, Eddie enters the room]
 * Eddie: Ohhhhh... goodbye sex, huh? It's always the best kind.
 * Hannah: How would you know? You never say goodbye. You're always around.

The Pros and Cons of Upsetting the Applecart [1.2]

 * Aubrey: And thus, the arsonist returns to the scene of his last great blaze.
 * Nick: Going down in flames does seem to be the motive.

 * Nick: Game over.
 * Ronnie: Not true. I think we can do much better. Forget about Hannah and aging documents. Nothing beats a live testimonial. It's like I always said--"If you can't deliver the bacon, bring them the pig!"
 * Nick: You always say that?
 * Ronnie: Well, I will from now on.

 * Nick: Look, I'm trying to confront this stuff that I ran from years ago. And I'm willing to face anything, anything that comes my way. I will not leave you, Dean Etwood. Or your students either. This time I'm not leaving anything until it's ready to be left.
 * Dean Leslie Etwood: Well, what an inspirational tale. But right now, Mr. Garrett, I'm going back to sleep.

 * [The Commander arrives with a cat he just picked up off the street at Knights Ridge Veterinary Care, only to come closer to Sam]
 * Hannah: This is yours, Mr. Garrett?
 * The Commander: Yeah, that's right.
 * Hannah: How old is this cat?
 * The Commander: He's 7.
 * Hannah: This cat is a female.
 * The Commander: [smiles] Yeah.
 * Hannah: And, um, what's her name?
 * The Commander: [looks at a picture of a sunrise on the wall] Sunrise.
 * Hannah: [notices he made up the name] And, um, what's wrong with Sunrise?
 * The Commander: I don't know. He's just a little... sluggish.
 * Hannah: She.
 * The Commander: She.
 * Hannah: Well I'll take a look at her.
 * The Commander: OK that's great well I guess I'll be going now. [leaves the office]
 * Sam: Mom why did he bring in Bumper?
 * Hannah: I don't know [turns to look at a confused coworker] This is our cat.

 * Dean Leslie Etwood: What makes you think you can actually teach? And please, don't tell me it's because you wrote a popular novel.
 * Nick: No! No. But... the journey. Getting there. The journey that those students wish to embark upon. I can share my experience.
 * Dean Leslie Etwood: Then let's talk about that journey.
 * Nick: Let's talk about it.
 * Dean Leslie Etwood: The, ahm, epic struggle of a coward who left his home, wrote a book about the friends and family that he abandoned for reasons unknown and now is afraid to face his own life. A teacher by nature is a leader and a leader is someone who embraces their life. Not one who runs away from it. In all the world Mr. Garrett, my students have nothing to learn from you.

Tomorrow's So Far Away [1.3]

 * Nick: Alright, phase one. First things first. You got to get her interest.
 * Sam: But I don’t play soccer.
 * Nick: You don’t get her interest by doing things she likes, that just makes you seem desperate.
 * Sam: Do you have a girlfriend?
 * Nick: We're just going to keep the focus on you. 'K?

 * Pizza Girl: Hey, um, you don't write manifestos, do you?
 * Phil: What do you mean?
 * Pizza Girl: Tracts, screeds, ideological rants, anti-technology mantras hating on mechanizations and machines in industrial society? I mean, you don't just write those, do you?
 * Phil: No.
 * Pizza Girl: I just think critical perspective is really important, that's all, for everything. You know, my dad - when he runs out of staples, he throws out the entire stapler. I'm sorry. I go on. I just feel the need to let conversations linger. It's like I don't know how to end them. You know, my friend Sarah - she says for my birthday she's gonna get me a carton of periods. The punctuation mark, not the menstrual cycle. God, a carton of menstrual cycles. How do you even wrap that?
 * Phil: I don't know.
 * Pizza Girl': Yeah. Um, your pizza's getting cold, so... um... I should go. See you later.
 * Phil: Yeah. I'll see you later.
 * Pizza Girl: Your eyes...they're off the hinge.
 * Phil: What?
 * Pizza Girl: They're beautiful...and...I should know...because I get a lot of looks.

 * Phil: No, that pizza had plenty of feta on it. I, I called you back because I was wondering if you’d like to go in sometime.
 * Pizza Girl: Go in?
 * Phil: It’s like going out only you do it here.
 * Pizza Girl: So... what they say is true?
 * Phil: What do they say?
 * Pizza Girl: You don’t leave.
 * Phil: Yes, it’s true I don’t.
 * Pizza Girl: Mrs. Kesler told me.
 * Phil: She did. I can’t believed she narced. I, I... All those years I pretended to love those Bundt cakes.
 * Pizza Girl: She said, in this day and age when it’s impossible to count on anyone... what could be better than knowing there’s a guy who will always be there.
 * Phil: She said that?
 * Pizza Girl: She did.

 * Nick: Was the girl impressed?
 * Principal: Excuse me?
 * Hannah: Nick!
 * Nick: I’m just curious. If we’re to assume that he did this to impress a girl, I think it’d be nice to know if it had the desired effect.
 * Principal: I don’t see how that...
 * Hannah: Because if he did impress her he may be inclined to do it again.
 * Nick: We need to know.
 * Hannah: To dissuade him. Sam?
 * Sam: I think it did impress her. She laughed and giggled.
 * Hannah: A laugh and a giggle.
 * Nick: Wait, wait. What’s the difference?
 * Principal: What? What difference?
 * Nick: Between a laugh and a giggle.
 * Sam: A giggle happens after you realized you’ve...
 * Hannah: Laughed too much. It’s a subconscious thing.
 * Sam: Right!
 * Hannah: You’re embarrassed for laughing overtly so you devolve into a nervous giggle.
 * Sam: Exactly!
 * Principal: Excuse me! What are we doing here?
 * Sam: And I do believe there was a blush.
 * Hannah: A blush?
 * Nick: Ah, now did you hear that Principal Harrison? There was a blush.
 * Principal: Yes, extraordinary. I’d like you all to leave my office now.

 * Janet: I maybe have a maybe date.
 * Hannah: What’s a maybe date?
 * Janet: As in, maybe he won’t call. Uh, maybe if he does I won’t go. Maybe it’s not even a date. Maybe I wish I hadn’t said anything.
 * Hannah: Who’s the maybe date with?
 * Janet: Maybe not ready to talk about that yet.
 * Hannah: Well I think it’s great that maybe you have a maybe date.

Secrets and Guys [1.4]

 * Ronnie: We gotta talk bro.
 * Nick: About what?
 * Ronnie: About the Commander.
 * Nick: What about him?
 * Ronnie: I think he’s dating.
 * Nick: What?! Dating? Like, woman?

 * Aubrey: I can't tell you how much I liked kissing you at Pumpkin Fest.
 * Nick: I can't tell you how much I liked being kissed by you at Pumpkin Fest.
 * Aubrey: I think we should do it again sometime.
 * Nick: I think so too.
 * Aubrey: Well, I'm free in four seconds.
 * [Dean Leslie Etwood walks in just as Nick and Aubrey are about to kiss]
 * Dean Leslie Etwood: College employees should be honest in carrying out their duties, and avoid conflicts between their private interests and their professional responsibilities. All this in a groovy little tome called the "Dufresne College Teacher Code of Conduct". Allow me to boil it down to its basic bits. Your chances of survival here are determined by which is more important to you; your class or... the lass.

 * [Sam finds Eddie at the barbecue, after he stood up Janet]
 * Sam: Interesting.
 * Eddie: What?
 * Sam: Or maybe disappointing is more like it.
 * Eddie: Your mom here?
 * Sam: No, she couldn’t make it. She’s too busy convincing the nicest person in all of Knight's Ridge that you’re not as bad as you seem right now.
 * Eddie: You’re a little out of your station here Sam, don’t you think?
 * Sam: Why didn’t you bring her? ‘Fraid of getting teased?
 * Eddie: It’s a tough lesson about getting older Sam, but everyone has a role in the big picture. If somebody stops serving that role, then, the whole thing crumbles.
 * Sam: So what’s your role?
 * Eddie: To date a…certain kind of girl…the really beautiful kind
 * Sam: You know when horses make poop? My grandmother calls it pucky.
 * Eddie: So?
 * Sam: Everything you’ve just said, I’m pretty sure is horse pucky. And Janet? I think she is the beautiful kind.

 * Ronnie: Dad?
 * The Commander: Ronnie... hey. Ahh...
 * Ronnie: [to Leslie] Who are you?
 * The Commander: Now, I, I know you’ve had your suspicions and I should have done this a lot sooner, but…this is Leslie.
 * Dean Leslie Etwood: It is so nice to meet you Ronnie.
 * Ronnie: What’s going on?
 * The Commander: Ronnie... Leslie’s my girlfriend.
 * [Ronnie looks at Leslie in disbelief]
 * The Commander: Ronnie... Ronnie, please.
 * [Ronnie hugs Leslie]
 * Ronnie: Thank you, he’s been so lonely. Thank you very much.

How to Kiss Hello [2.2]

 * Eddie: Hey Janet, can I get a beer?
 * Janet: You know this whole you and me going to the homecoming game? It's a bad idea. It's not going to work. Cause here's the thing. I'm not taxes. I'm not the dentist. I'm not something you get out of the way.
 * Eddie: What?
 * Janet: I'm also not like the other girls you've been with. I'm not a cute cashier. I don't know how to make waffle cones. I'm not another stop along the Eddie Latekka conquest trail... I'm not perky like Susan. I don't know how to bat my eyes like Lottie and I definitely don't have double D cups like...
 * [Eddie kisses her]
 * Eddie: You know what? You're not like the other girls I usually date. You're smart and funny and beautiful inside and out. And you're absolutely NOTHING like taxes.
 * [Janet laughs a little, Eddie smiles and looks at her]
 * Eddie: Excuse me.
 * [Eddie kisses her again]

The Infidelity Tour [2.3]

 * Sam: So I guess that means you'll have time to open your window business
 * Nick: Yeah I guess, truth is it's something that Eddie and I always planned on doing since we were kids. Best Friend Windows is what we called it
 * Sam: Kind of a dorky name isn't it?
 * Nick: We were ten
 * Sam: I'm ten
 * Nick: Yeah, but you're...
 * Sam: different kind of dork?
 * Nick: Different kind of 10.

 * Owen: He pulls over? He can't comfort her with one hand? One hand on the wheel, one hand comforting? How bout no hands comforting? Why do hands have to be involved at all in the comforting process?

Deck the Howls [2.4]

 * Emily: I can't believe I don't get to meet your parents tonight.
 * Physical Phil: And I can't believe you made a reindeer out of a soda can. He's beautiful.
 * Emily: "He"?
 * Physical Phil: Santa's reindeer are all male.
 * Emily: Are not.
 * Physical Phil: They have strong, masculine names like Dancer, Dasher, Prancer, Comet.
 * Emily: Nope. No sale, bub. Male reindeer lose their antlers long before December 25th, while females retain theirs until January.
 * Physical Phil: So?
 * Emily: So the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are always shown with antlers, which makes them female.
 * Physical Phil: See, now, I could argue that, and we could get into this whole disputation on gender bias in caribou, or I could simply rejoice in the fact that my girlfriend possesses that kind of arcane knowledge.
 * Emily: And I could rejoice in the fact that you just called me your girlfriend.
 * Physical Phil: Well, you are. You are the wind beneath my hooves.

 * Eddie: Where did you get this dog?
 * Janet: Monk McGillicuddy came into the bar last week with a litter of puppies.
 * Eddie: Monk McGillicuddy who set fire to the church our senior year of high school.
 * Janet: Um, I guess. Why?
 * Eddie: No reason except that this is not a puppy.
 * Janet: What do you mean it’s not a puppy?
 * Eddie: It’s a wolf.
 * Janet: What do you mean it’s a wolf?
 * Eddie: I mean it’s a wolf.
 * Janet: I got you a wolf?
 * Eddie: Yeah, you got me a wolf. I was gonna get you a leopard, but they were fresh out.

Once Around the Block [2.5]

 * The Commander: You need to go out. Find a girl.
 * Nick: That is the last thing I need. I need a vacation from girls. A girl vacation. Do you know what a girl vacation is dad?
 * The Commander: Prison?
 * Nick: No. It's spending some time with me. Just me. I need to spend some quality time with me.

Revenge of the Cupcake Kid [2.6]

 * Ikey: Minus the last few months, we've been friends for almost 20 years. I know that because every time I look in the mirror and see my bent nose, it reminds me of how I met Owen Rowan's elbow on the playground, before I met the rest of him. I just moved to the Ridge. I didn't know Jack from Jill. I remember, he felt so bad afterwards, I was just some grimy kid with a wad of toilet paper up his nose but you introduced me to your friends - and that changed everything. I wasn't David Eichorn anymore. I was Ikey. That's how Owen introduced me to you guys. I was Ikey. And Ikey's all I've ever been. You guys are a part of me. Nick, remember these skid marks? Huh? Yeah, when you dared me to ride down North Hill Road on my bike during a storm. And this gimpy pinky finger huh, Phys? I got this from those home made fire crackers you told me were 100% safe. I got my man Eddie Latekka of course, to thank for my best pick up line. [Rolls up left sleeve and reveals a scar] I tell all the girlies I got this in Desert Storm from a bayonet when actually, you just nicked me with a hedge trimmer. I know, we've come a long way since that playground, Owen. You brought me into the fold back then. I'm hoping you'll let me back in now. I can't lose you guys anymore than I can lose my own skin. You're who I am! I'm Ikey because of you guys. And while maybe, Ikey ain't so much, he's a lot less when he ain't got you guys in his life.

Spelling It Out [2.7]

 * Janet: [to Eddie] We've been dating for a while now. A while! And we still haven't seen it... "On the Waterfront". So I was thinking we should hang out at my place tomorrow night, and we should most definitely watch "On the Waterfront". Because if we don't watch "On the Waterfront" we may run the risk of never watching it. Ever. Okay?

Dancing Days Are Here Again [2.8]

 * The Commander: Life isn't then. Life isn't when. Life is this. Here. Now.

 * The Commander: When you were a little boy I warned you never to speak to strangers, never knowing that years later I'd qualify as one.

 * Jody: We're both single, no one will find you particularly attractive, and I can tell you find me a little unpleasant, but it's a lovely night, there's rain in the forecast, and I've got a great bottle of absinth back at my nest. So why don't you come over and we'll get alcoholized and bend our backs in bed?

Hat? No Hat? [2.10]

 * Eddie: [At seeing Phil naked] Whoa!
 * Nick: What's... goin' on Phil?
 * Physical Phil: Hey Guys! Just cataloging my CDs.
 * Nick: Yeah, that's not what I'm talkin' about.
 * Physical Phil: Oh, Pizza Girl had to sketch a nude for her drawing class. I was her model. And then, when we were done, it occurred to me, I wasn't really in the need to put my clothes back on.
 * Eddie: Why not?
 * Physical Phil: Oh, because sometimes I feel trapped in here. But without my clothes... [takes a step closer to the boys and they grow uncomfortable]
 * Eddie: Whoa, okay, so... you're just gonna be naked from now on?
 * Physical Phil: Not naked. Nude!
 * Eddie: Right.
 * Physical Phil: Naked implies, embarrassment and vulnerability, exposure...
 * Nick: Yeah.
 * Physical Phil: ...Nude, does not. Nude implies 'the sun on my bum', the air on my snookle. Nude implies, free!
 * Eddie: [Pointing in opposite direction] I'm going over here.
 * Nick: I'll go with you.

 * Physical Phil: [Sees Eddie sitting naked on the couch] Whoa! Okay. What're you doing?
 * Eddie: Savoring every last bit of this hot peppers and steak.
 * Physical Phil: I mean why aren't you wearing any clothes?
 * Eddie: Well, you made such a fuss about the virtues of being set free I figured I'd give it a try. And you know what? It is really liberating! I may never wear clothes again either.
 * Physical Phil: But you can't... if, if I'm... Fine. Done. My days of nudism are over.
 * Eddie: What? Why?
 * Physical Phil: Aw, c'mon Eddie. We can't live like this. One guy naked it's charming, it's quirky! But two guys, it's... It's not something I'm comfortable with.
 * [Walks away with a towel around his waist]
 * Eddie: [Triumphantly] I said it before and I'll say it again; Pizza Girl ain't the only one who delivers.

Stand Alone by Me [2.11]

 * Eddie: Pack a bag.
 * Janet: What for?
 * Eddie: We're going to Rhode Island. I got tickets for Bye Bye Birdie, Providence. Figured me and Gramps can get some naptime in.

As Soon as You Are Able [2.13]

 * Ronnie: I'm in love with you, Aubrey. I've been in love with you ever since Nick brought you home on taco Tuesday on that Wednesday. And I know it's weird because he's my brother and you guys are dating, but since he's leaving I have to tell you that. I love that when you talk you flap your hands, or sometimes you use big words that make no sense to me. And I love that no matter what room you're in, the light attaches itself to you. And most of all, I love the way that I feel when I'm near you.

 * Hannah: Sometimes it takes him ten years. Or ten hours or ten minutes, but Nick always does the right thing. He always did. He always will. You just have to have a little faith.

 * Stratton Lorb: Knights Ridge, baby! Ain't that America!

Ali Sistani

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani (born 1930 in Iran) is an Islamic cleric and the spiritual leader of Iraq's 24 million Shiite Muslims.

''Sistani has abstained from personally delivering public addresses and shunned media contacts. As a result, quotations pertaining to him are from secondary sources which were made available through interlocutors, aides, and so forth''.

Asceticism

 * People are not finding potable water and you're bringing me juice? No.
 * What Sistani Wants February 2006.

Fatwa against Israeli goods

 * It is not permissible for a Muslim to buy products of the countries that are in a state of war with Islam and Muslims, for example, Israel.
 * Ayatullah as-Sayyid Ali as-Seestani (Iraq).

Former Baathists

 * Sistani's office refuses the replacement of the law [which excludes former Baath Party members from returning to public life] because it is not an Iraqi demand but it is a political demand to please some sides.

New Iraqi constitution

 * Mr. Bremer, you are an American and I am an Iranian. I suggest we leave it up to the Iraqis to devise their constitution.
 * http://articles.latimes.com/2003/nov/16/opinion/oe-cockburn16.

 * The council that will write the constitution should be elected, not hand-picked ... The constitution will be illegal if it is written by a council, whether that is chosen by the Americans or by what is called the Governing Council or by anyone else.

Quotes about Sistani

 * Iraq — the country identified in American minds with chaos and endless warfare — is a democracy. Citizens vote, and leaders must respond to their demands; otherwise, they won’t be reelected. It’s a deeply flawed democracy, to be sure, as Salih is the first to note. Yet its institutions, created after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, have endured. Iraqis routinely take to the streets to demonstrate. The country’s top religious leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, who acts as an unofficial political arbiter, has persistently supported democratic institutions, as well as serving as a locus of Iraqi nationalism... We can let Iraq succumb entirely to Iranian influence — or we can reengage with the country, showing Iraqis that we stand with them and take their democratic aspirations seriously. There is an opportunity here that we shouldn’t miss.
 * Christian Caryl, "Iraq’s president explains why the U.S. must reengage with Baghdad" (20 March 2019), The Washington Post

 * I was sleeping in a village near Basra that night ... I saw the villagers grabbing their guns and preparing to rush to Najaf, hundreds of miles away. 'Sistani is under attack,' they told me. That was all they needed to know. The same thing happened all over Iraq.
 * One of Sistani's advisors, reported in Andrew M. Cockburn, "U.S. Ignores This Ayatollah in Iraq at Its Own Peril" (November 16, 2003).

Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah and the Bee is a 2006 film about a young girl from South Los Angeles who tries to make it to the National Spelling Bee.
 * Written and directed by Doug Atchison.

'''Changing the world... one word at a time.'''

Akeelah Anderson

 * You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, where you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that, it's called love. L-O-V-E.

Other

 * Terrence: Man, that's a white word if I ever heard one. It's a trick. Stop playing!

Dialogue

 * Mr. Welch: So whoever wins the school bee today gets to represent Crenshaw at the district bee next month.
 * Akeelah: Why would anybody want to represent a school where they can't even put doors on the toilet stalls?
 * Mr. Welch: Akeelah, if we can't show students can perform, we're not going to have money for books, let alone bathroom doors. Now, I want you to do the bee today, okay?
 * Akeelah: So everyone can call me a freak and a brainiac? No, I ain't down for no spelling bee.
 * Mr. Welch: Well, maybe you'd be down for spending the rest of the semester in detention for all your absences?

 * [at the school spelling bee in the gym]
 * Ms. Cross: Now, we're gonna start things off with "grovel."
 * Chuckie: Gravel? Like little rocks?
 * Ms. Cross: No, grovel, like "get down on your knees and grovel."
 * Chuckie: Get down on my knees? [shocked] What?!
 * Ms. Cross: Just spell the word.
 * Chuckie: Uh, G-R-A-V-E-L.
 * Ms. Cross: No, Chuckie, you spelled "gravel." I meant "grovel", G-R-O-V-E-L. You weren't listening. Sorry, Chuckie.
 * Chuckie: Who cares?

 * Akeelah: [quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
 * Dr. Larabee: Does that mean anything to you?
 * Akeelah: I don't know.
 * Dr. Larabee: It's written in plain English. What does it mean?
 * Akeelah: That I'm not supposed to be afraid?
 * Dr. Larabee: Afraid of what?
 * Akeelah: Afraid of... me?

 * Akeelah: I'm naturally inquisitive.
 * Dr. Larabee: Yes, which is also sometimes confused with being naturally obnoxious.

 * Dr. Larabee: Where do you think big words come from?
 * Akeelah: People with big brains?

 * Akeelah: Okay. But when I'm at the bee, and they tell me to spell some little fish from Australia or some weird bacteria on the Moon, we're going to wish we'd done a little bit more "rote-morizing" and not so much essay reading. If you don't mind me saying.
 * Dr. Larabee: Bacteria don't exist on the Moon.

 * Male judge: If you spell this correctly, you'll be our 10th and last finalist.
 * Female judge: "Carmagnole." [the boy looks to his mom, who gives him a thumbs up]
 * Cheating boy: Could I get a definition, please?
 * Female judge: A lively song and street dance.
 * Cheating boy: Um... C... A... R... M... A... [Kiana, watching through the door's window, sees the boy's mom mouth out the letter, "G"] G... N... O-L-E, carmagnole.
 * Male judge: That's correct, and that means you are our 10th and last finalist for the district bee. [a thunderous applause erupts, especially from the boy's mom. Akeelah is devastated]
 * Kiana: [bursts through the door, outraged] THEY CHEATED!!! THEY CHEATED!! I saw them! That boy's mama helped him out!
 * Male judge: What...? Excuse me... Who are you?
 * Kiana: I'm Akeelah's sister. I was standing right back there, and I saw that boy's mama give him the letter "G." She was saying, "geeeee."
 * Cheating boy's mom: He knew the word. I-I mean, it's one we studied. He knew it.
 * Male judge: Ma'am, did you help your child spell the word? [the boy's mom shakes her head] Ma'am, this is serious business.
 * [Silence. Finally, the boy's mom angrily springs up from her chair]
 * Cheating boy's mom: OH, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT'S SERIOUS! You know, you are gonna give these kids ulcers! Do you know how long he has studied for this?! He knew that word!
 * Cheating boy: [embarrassed] No. I didn't.
 * Male judge: I'm sorry, number 62, you are disqualified from competition.

 * Akeelah: This is all starting to sound heavy.
 * Boy: It is heavy. Spelling bees are serious. I think I'll take a shot. [throws the ball, but misses the hoop] On second thought, can I spell the word?

 * Katie Kerwin McCrimmon: [commentating on TV] Several of the kids placed very high in last year's bee, especially Dylan Chiu. He's come in second two years in a row.
 * Derrick-T: Kick his butt, Akeelah! B-U-T-T, butt!

Uyghurs

The Uyghurs (also spelled Uighur; Uyghur: ئۇيغۇر;) are an ethnic group of Central Asia. They are one of China's 56 officially recognized ethnicities.

Quotes

 * Uyghurs are the best among Turks. Their language is called Hakaniye Turkchesi (King's Turkish).
 * Kashgarli Mehmud, Divanü Lügat-it-Türk (The Dictionary of Turkic Languages), 1072.

 * Turfan (Turpan) is without doubt a forgotten Asian city of extraordinary interest. The size of it is remarkable: the inner, holy city, consisting only of temples and palace, measures 7,400 feet at the widest point of the still extant walls. Hundreds of terraced temples and grandiose vaulted edifices cover an extensive area of lane.
 * "Along the Ancient Silk Routes" show, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, April 3 - June 20, 1982

 * The Uyghur language and script contributed to the enrichment of civilizations of the other peoples in Central Asia. Compared to the Europeans of that time, the Uyghurs were far more advanced. Documents discovered in Uyghur Region prove that an Uyghur farmer could write down a contract, using legal terminology. How many European farmers could have done that at that period? This shows the extent of Uygur civilization of that time.
 * Shuyl Unver, Medicine in Uyghurs, Istanbul, 1936. pp. 4-6.

 * In Middle Ages, the Chinese poetry, literature, theater, music and painting were greatly influenced by the Uyghurs.
 * Wolfram Eberhard, History of China, Istanbul, 1947, p. 116.

 * The Uyghurs knew how to print books centuries before Guetenberg invented his press.
 * Lazlo Rasonyi, Turkic in History, Ankara, 1971, pp. 105, 107.

 * Russian scholar Pantusov writes that the Uyghurs manufactured their own musical instruments; they had 62 different kinds of musical instruments and in every Uyghur home there used to be an instrument called a "dutar".
 * Brief History of Uyghur Literature, Almaty, 1983, p. 7.

 * It is just that their thinking has been infected by unhealthy thoughts. Freedom is only possible when this ‘virus’ in their thinking is eradicated and they are in good health.
 * The Xinjiang Papers, Directive’s Question-and-Answer Guide, The New York Times (16 Nov 2019)

 * Like the waters of the Tarim we began in this place and we will finish here We came from nowhere else and we will not leave for anywhere If God made humanity God made us for this place If man evolved from apes we evolved from the apes of this place
 * Perhat Tursun, "The Tarim River"

2024

 * "Home" means different things to young Uyghurs – some of whom may have not even visited their ancestral homeland in China’s far western Xinjiang region. That was the theme of the latest annual art competition for Uyghur artists and others held by the Uyghur Collective, a -based youth group that has organized the annual event since 2019.
 * Nuriman Abdureshid, "Spirit of Uyghurs is celebrated in paintings of ‘Home’", Radio Free Asia (February 11, 2024)

Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks set in the 1960s loosely based on the life of con artist Frank Abagnale Jr.

 * Directed by Steven Spielberg. Written by Jeff Nathanson from the book by Frank Abagnale Jr. and Stan Redding.

The true story of a real fake. (taglines)

Frank Abagnale Jr.

 * You're gonna have to catch me first!
 * Ah, people only know what you tell them, Carl!
 * An honest man has nothing to fear, so I'm trying my best not to be afraid.

Carl Hanratty

 * For the last six months, he's gone to Harvard and Berkeley. I'm betting he can get a passport.
 * [When asked why Frank won't flee to New York or Atlanta] Because I'm not in New York. I'm not in Atlanta.
 * How'd you do it Frank? How did you cheat on the bar exam in Louisiana?
 * He's a kid. Our unsub is a kid. That's why we couldn't match his prints. That's why he doesn't have a record. Now, I want you to contact the NYPD for every all-points juvenile runaways in New York City. And don't forget the airports. He's been kiting checks all over the country.

Frank Abagnale Sr.

 * Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
 * To the moon!
 * Where are you going tonight, Frank? Some place exotic? Tahiti, Hawaii?

Dialogue

 * Frank Abagnale Sr.: You know why the Yankees always win, Frank?
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: 'Cause they have Mickey Mantle?
 * Frank Abagnale Sr.: No, it's 'cause the other teams can't stop staring at those damn pinstripes.

 * Carl Hanratty: Well, would you like to hear me tell a joke?
 * Earl Amdursky: Yeah. Yeah, we'd love to hear a joke from you.
 * Carl Hanratty: Knock knock.
 * Earl Amdursky: Who's there?
 * Carl Hanratty: Go fuck yourselves.

 * Mr. Strong: Frank, would you like to say grace? ...Unless you're not comfortable.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Absolutely. Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mouse, he struggled so hard that he eventually churned that cream into butter and he walked out. Amen.
 * Mrs. Strong: Oh, that was beautiful. The mouse, he churned that cream into butter.

 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Carl, how long do I have to work here [the FBI]?
 * Carl Hanratty: 8:15 in the morning, 4:00 in the afternoon. Forty-five minutes for lunch.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: No, I mean...how long?
 * Carl Hanratty: Every day. Every day, Frank...until we let you go.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Hey, Carl.

 * [Carl and Mr. Marsh are visiting Frank in prison; Carl hopes to convince the FBI to let Frank out of prison]
 * Assistant Director Marsh: I'd like for you to take a look at something, tell me what you think.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [Marsh hands Frank a fake check as Carl looks on] That's a fake.
 * Assistant Director Marsh: How do you know? You haven't looked at it.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: There's no perforated edge, right? This check was hand-cut, not fed. The paper's double-bonded, much too heavy to be a bank check. Magnetic ink, it's raised against my fingers, not flat. This doesn't smell like MICR, it's some kind of, uh, some kind of drafting ink. The kind you get at a stationery store.
 * [Carl and Mr. Marsh, who is obviously fascinated and impressed, look at each other.]
 * Assistant Director Marsh: Frank, would you be interested in working for the FBI's Financial Crimes Unit?
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I've already got a job here, you know. I, uh, deliver the mail.
 * Assistant Director Marsh: Frank, we have the power to take you out of prison. You'd be placed in the custody of the FBI where you'd serve out the remainder of your sentence as an employee of the Federal Government.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Under whose custody?
 * [Carl raises his hand]

 * [Frank is making one last attempt to run by impersonating a pilot once again. Carl catches up with him at Dulles Airport]
 * Carl Hanratty: How'd you do it, Frank? How'd you pass the bar in Louisiana?
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [Frank continues to walk. Carl walks several paces behind] What are you doing here?
 * Carl Hanratty: Listen...
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I'm sorry I put you through all this.
 * Carl Hanratty: You go back to Europe, you're gonna die in Perpignan Prison. You try to run here in the States, we'll send you back to Atlanta for 50 years.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I know that.
 * Carl Hanratty: I spent four years trying to arrange your release. Had to convince my bosses at the FBI and the Attorney General of the United States you wouldn't run.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Why'd you do it?
 * Carl Hanratty: You're just a kid.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I'm not your kid. You said you were going to Chicago.
 * Carl Hanratty: My daughter can't see me this weekend. She's going skiing.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: You said she was four years old. You're lying.
 * Carl Hanratty: She was four when I left. Now she's 15. My wife's been remarried for 11 years. I see Grace every now and again.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I don't understand.
 * Carl Hanratty: Sure you do. Sometimes, it's easier living the lie. [Frank stops, Carl catches up]
 * Carl Hanratty: I'm going to let you fly tonight, Frank. I'm not even going to try to stop you. That's because I know you'll be back on Monday.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Yeah? How do you know I'll come back?
 * Carl Hanratty: Frank, look. Nobody's chasing you.

 * [Last lines, after Hanratty waits for Frank to show up at work]
 * Carl Hanratty: There's impressions on every line... looks like the original amount was for $60...
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [walks up and takes magnifier] Mind if I take a look?
 * Carl Hanratty: [looks up] Cashed in Flagstaff a week ago. Cost the bank $16,000.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: It's a real check.
 * Carl Hanratty: Yeah. Yeah, it's been washed. The only thing original is the signature.
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: But it's perfect, Carl. I mean, this isn't hydrochloride or bleach.
 * Carl Hanratty: No. Something new. Maybe a nail polish remover where the acetone removes the ink that's not been printed?
 * [long pause]
 * Carl Hanratty: How did you do it, Frank? How did you cheat on the bar exam in Louisiana?
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I didn't cheat. I studied for two weeks and I passed.
 * Carl Hanratty: Is that the truth, Frank? Is that the truth?
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I'll bet this guy steals checks out of mailboxes. He washes off their names and he puts on his own.
 * Carl Hanratty: You're saying he's a local?
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Well, if it were me, you know, I'd call the bank first... check out the balance...
 * Carl Hanratty: Make sure there's enough money in there to make it worth your while...
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: You know, Carl, I think this guy's pretty smart.
 * [Carl laughs]
 * Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Now, all we have to do is catch him.
