Hi. Welcome to English Wikiquote. Enjoy!  Cbrown1023  talk  02:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * For a quick overview of what Wikiquote is, read Wikiquote.
 * Also see What Wikiquote is not for common activities that Wikiquote does not support.
 * To ask for help or to talk with another editor, visit our Village pump.
 * To browse Wikiquote, take a look at our browsing start page.
 * Before creating new articles, consult our guide. You may practice how to edit a page at Sandbox.
 * Please remember to use edit summaries when editing pages.
 * When posting to a discussion, please sign with a date by writing four tildes (~~) and saving.
 * Be bold.

Please fully sign your posts
As the welcome message above recommends, please fully sign your discussion-page posts by using four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of the post. When you save your edit, this automatically adds your username, including a link to your userpage, and a timestamp to your post. The link is useful because it not only indicates exactly which user is posting (regardless of what they choose to be called in the text), but also allows other editors to see what you've been editing, in case you ask a question about an article that you don't name specifically (as you did in your recent Reference desk post). The timestamp can help readers sort out who said what when, especially when users fail to follow general discussion page posting guidelines, which occasionally happens. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

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 Tinkyourmagic. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tinkyourmagic~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 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Frank Bruno

Franklin Roy Bruno (born November 16, 1961) is a British former boxer whose career highlight was winning the WBC Heavyweight championship in 1995. Altogether, he won 40 of his 45 contests.

Sourced

 * Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world.
 * From an interview, as cited by Emma Brockes in "Q: Did you feel suicidal before you were sectioned? A: Nah, I'm not that brave or clever. I wouldn't know how to tie a rope, know what I mean?", The Guardian (24 October 2005).

 * People might think that boxers are all animals and nasty people. But at the end of the day, we're all brothers: black or white, yellow or pink. We are all in the same business, and after the fight we are hugging each other like we're gay.
 * 1990 Interview with Des Lynam]

This video game page contains a probably-copyvio number of quotes, of which most are unoriginal and unmemorable. —LrdChaos (talk) 19:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closes: 20:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete unless quotes trimmed to a pithy subset and the specific sourcing somehow identified. I'm uncomfortable that we have so many electronic game (EG) pages coming up for deletion, but they are unquestionably filled with inanity and hard to verify by any reliable means. I would hope that we could establish some guidelines about how to write a proper EG quote article, but our regular editors (myself included) haven't seen this as a priority, and our EG editors haven't shown any initiative in trying to create such a guideline. Until we address this, I suspect all our EG articles are vulnerable to a reasonable deletion case. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Three of the four quotes on this page are completely about this person's music, and while the fourth does actually quote the person, the whole quote also talks about other things and the portion quoting the person includes only two questions, neither of which are at all original or memorable outside of the larger passage. —LrdChaos (talk) 19:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: This is another case of someone copying or transferring quotes from a Wikipedia article into a corresponding Wikiquote article.

Stanislav Andreski

Stanisław Andrzejewski (or Stanislav Andreski) (May 8, 1919 – September 26, 2007) was a Polish-British sociologist. He is remembered for the 1972 book The Social Sciences as Sorcery in which he sharply criticized the academic social sciences of his era for a range of perceived shortcomings.

Social Sciences as Sorcery (1972)

 * The most deadly agents of cultural infections are not the brazen cynics, but the sectarians prone to self-delusion and the timorous organization men anxious not to miss the band-waggon, who unquestioningly equate popularity and worldly success with intrinsic merit.
 * p. 10

 * [T]he reason why human understanding has been able to advance in the past, and may do so in the future, is that true insights are cumulative and retain their value regardless of what happens to their discoverers; while fads and stunts may bring an immediate profit to the impresarios, but lead nowhere in the long run, cancel each other out, and are dropped as soon as their promoters are no longer there (or have lost the power) to direct the show. Anyway, let us not despair.
 * p. 17

 * ...do not be impressed by the imprint of a famous publishing house or the volumes of an author's publications. Bear in mind that Einstein needed only seventeen pages for his contribution which revolutionized physics, while there are graphomanics in asylums who use up mounds of paper every day. Remember that publishers want to keep the printing presses busy and do not object to nonsense if it can be sold.
 * p. 86

 * Every human society which has endured long enough to leave records has had elaborate customs and institutions which were effective in instilling into the young the sentiments necessary for its perpetuation. Now for the first time in recorded history Western capitalism offers us a spectacle of a system which not only has given up altogether the task of moral education, but actually employs vast resources and the means of persuasion of unprecedented power to destroy the customs, norms and ideals indispensable for its survival; and to implant fundamentally anti-social attitudes which are incompatible with any reasonable social order. It would be miraculous if a social order which permits such massive anti-socialisation could fail to destroy itself.

 * Laughter is a mental mechanism which enables us to face reality without falling into despondency or delusion. As people who have sunk in apathy seldom bother us by rushing into print, delusion (leaving aside deceit) constitutes the chief obstacle to the progress of our understanding of society, and in this context is usually assumes the form of doctrinairism couched in a mystifying jargon. A sense of humour is the most reliable external indicator of the likelihood of immunity from this folly, and of the ability to appraise social situations realistically.
 * p. 88

 * So long as authority inspires awe, confusion and absurdity enhance conservative tendencies in society. Firstly, because clear and logical thinking leads to a cumulation of knowledge (of which the progress of the natural sciences provides the best example) and the advance of knowledge sooner or later undermines the traditional order. Confused thinking, on the other hand, leads nowhere in particular and can be indulged indefinitely without producing any impact upon the world.
 * p. 90

 * Sacrifice has always been regarded as the most convincing proof of loyalty; and its most common form involves a foregoing of the use of some organic function, as in the case of celibacy or fasting. Of at least equal significance, however, is a sacrifice of the use of reason - credo quia impossibile - and the more incredible the assertion, the stronger the proof of the devotion manifested by its acceptance. The Catholic theologians are quite explicit about this, and openly say that by affirming what to the human reason appears absurd, a believer proves his love for God. Although they are never so frank about it, the secular sects make similar demands.
 * p. 92

 * The natural sciences did not advance in virtue of the universal appeal of rationality. Their theological, classicist and metaphysical opponents were not converted but displaced. All the ancient universities had to be compelled by outside pressure to make room for science; and most nations began to appreciate it only after succumbing to the weapons produced with its aid. To cut a long story short, scientific method has triumphed throughout the world because it bestowed upon those who practised it power over those who did not. Sorcery lost not because of any waning of its intrinsic appeal to the human mind, but because it failed to match the power created by science. But, though abandoned as a tool for controlling nature, incantations remain more effective for manipulating crowds than logical arguments, so that in the conduct of human affairs sorcery continues to be stronger than science.
 * p. 92

 * Instead of entertaining visions of a final victory of reason over magic and ignorance, we have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that the norms and ideals which permit the advancement of knowledge have to be defended in every generation against new enemies, who reappear like the heads of the Hydra as soon as others are decapitated, and who employ ever-new labels, catchwords and slogans to play on the perennial weaknesses of mankind. Whatever happens in the instrumental exact sciences, we can be sure that in matters where intellectual and moral considerations mesh, the struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness will never end.
 * p. 237

Prospects of a Revolution in the U.S.A. (1974)

 * A reduction of the criteria of status allocation to one -- money under pure capitalism or power in a stalinist state -- embitters the game of status-seeking for another, though related, reason as well: namely because a plurality of criteria permits a segregation of the players into non-competitive groups. If one man prides himself on his descent, another on wealth, the third on knowledge, the fourth on convivial graces, they cannot directly challenge each other's claims; just as a mathematician cannot compete directly with an archaeologist in who is better at his job.  Thus the sophistication of culture can contribute to social peace by multiplying the number of non-comparable goals.

Stéphane Mallarmé

Stéphane Mallarmé (March 18 1842 – September 9 1898), born Étienne Mallarmé, was a poet and critic. He was a major French symbolist poet, and his work anticipated and inspired several revolutionary artistic schools of the early 20th century, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Futurism.

Observations

 * Degas was discussing poetry with Mallarmé; "It isn't ideas I'm short of... I've got too many" [Ce ne sont pas les idées qui me manquent... J'en ai trop], said Degas. "But Degas," replied Mallarmé, "you can't make a poem with ideas. … You make it with words." [Mais, Degas, ce n'est point avec des idées que l'on fait des vers. . . . C'est avec des mots.]
 * From Degas, Manet, Morisot by Paul Valéry (trans. David Paul), Princeton University Press, 1960.

 * J'invente une langue qui doit nécessairement jaillir d'une poétique très nouvelle, que je pourrais définir en ces deux mots: Peindre, non la chose, mais l'effet qu'elle produit.
 * I have finally begun my Herodiade. With terror, for I am inventing a language that must necessarily burst forth from a very new poetics, that could be defined in a couple of words: Paint, not the thing, but the effect it produces. … the line of poetry in such a case should be composed not of words, but of intentions, and all the words should fade away before the sensation..'''
 * On his unfinished work Hérodiade, in a letter to Henri Cazalis (30 October 1864); Oeuvres Complètes (1945) edited by Mondor & Jean-Aubry, p. 307, as translated in Mallarmé : The Poet and his Circle ([1999] 2005) by Rosemary Lloyd, p. 48.

 * If only I'd chosen an easy work! But, precisely, I, who am sterile and crepuscular, have chosen a terrifying subject, whose sensations, if they are strong, reach the point of atrocity, and if they are vague, have the strange attitude of mystery. And my Verse hurts me at times, and wounds me as if it were of iron! I have, moreover, found an intimate and unique way of painting and noting down the very fleeting impressions. I should add, which is even more terrifying, that all these impressions follow one another as in a symphony, and I often have entire days when I ask myself if this impression can accompany that one, what is their relationship and effect … You can guess that I write few lines in a week.
 * On his unfinished work Hérodiade, in a letter to Henri Cazalis (15 January 1865), as translated in Mallarmé : The Poet and his Circle ([1999] 2005) by Rosemary Lloyd, p. 48.

 * It is in front of the paper that the artist creates himself.
 * Letter to Eugène Lefébure (February 1865), published in Selected Letters of Stéphane Mallarmé (1988), p. 48.

 * Yes, I know, we are merely empty forms of matter, but we are indeed sublime in having invented God and our soul. So sublime, my friend, that I want to gaze upon matter, fully conscious that it exists, and yet launching itself madly into Dream, despite its knowl edge that Dream has no existence, extolling the Soul and all the divine impressions of that kind which have collected within us from the beginning of time and proclaiming, in the face of the Void which is truth, these glorious lies!
 * Letter to Henri Cazalis (April 1866), published in Selected Letters of Stéphane Mallarmé (1988), p. 60.

 * In a museum in London there is an exhibit called "The Value of Man": a long coffinlike box with lots of compartments where they've put starch—phosphorus—flour—bottles of water and alcohol—and big pieces of gelatin. I am a man like that.
 * Letter dated 17th May 1867.

 * Hyperbole! can you not rise In triumph from my memory, A modern magic spell devise As from an ironbound grammary: For I inaugurate through science The hymn of all hearts spiritual In the labor of my patience, Atlas, herbal, ritual.
 * "Prose" (1885).

 * O Spirit of litigation, know, When we keep silent in this season, The stem of multiple lilies grew Too large to be contained by reason
 * "Prose" (1885).

 * La chair est triste, hélas! et j'ai lu tous les livres.
 * The flesh is sorrowful, alas! And I've read all the books.
 * "Brise Marine", line 1 (1887), as translated in Mallarmé : The Poet and his Circle ([1999] 2005) by Rosemary Lloyd, p. 70.

 * Le monde est fait pour aboutir à un beau livre.
 * The world was made in order to result in a beautiful book.
 * Remark made to Jules Huret, who published it in his Enquête sur l’évolution littéraire (1891); as translated in Stéphane Mallarmé (1969) by Frederic Chase St. Aubyn, p. 23.

 * L'acte poétique consiste à voir soudain qu'une idée se fractionne en un nombre de motifs égaux par valeur et à les grouper; ils riment.
 * The poetic act consists in suddenly seeing that an idea splits into a number of motives of equal value and in grouping them; they rhyme.
 * "Crise de Vers", La Revue Blanche (September 1895) as translated in Mallarmé : The Poet and his Circle ([1999] 2005) by Rosemary Lloyd, p. 231.

 * L'oeuvre pure implique la disparition élocutoire du poëte, qui cède l'initiative aux mots.
 * The work of pure poetry implies the elocutionary disappearance of the poet, who yields the initiative to words.
 * "Crise de Vers", La Revue Blanche (September 1895 )as translated in Mallarmé : The Poet and his Circle ([1999] 2005) by Rosemary Lloyd, p. 55.

 * Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira Le Hasard
 * A throw of the dice will never abolish chance.
 * Title of poem (1897), as quoted in Mallarmé's Un coup de dés : An Exegesis (1949) by Robert Greer Cohn.

 * Ce n'est pas avec des idées qu'on fait des vers, c'est avec des mots.
 * We do not write poems with ideas, but with words.
 * A remark reported in Psychologie de l'art (1927) by Henri Delacroix, p. 93; as translated in Literary Impressionism (1973), Maria Elisabeth Kronegger, p. 77.

Hérodiade (1898)

 * Unfinished work (1864 - 1898) Existing fragments were published in editions of Mallarmé's poems after his death.

 * Magical shadow with symbolic powers! A voice from the distant past, an evocation, Is it not mine prepared for incantation?
 * Nurse.

 * When the sad sun sinks, It shall pierce through the body of wax till it shrinks! No sunset, but the red awakening Of the last day concluding everything Struggles so sadly that time disappears, The redness of apocalypse, whose tears Fall on the child, exiled to her own proud Heart, as the swan makes its plumage a shroud For its eyes, the old swan, and is carried away From the plumage of grief to the eternal highway Of its hopes, where it looks on the diamonds divine Of a moribund star, which never more shall shine!
 * Nurse.

 * Are you a living princess or her shadow? Let me kiss your fingers and their rings, and bid you Walk no longer in an unknown age...
 * Nurse.

 * A kiss would kill me, woman, If beauty were not death... By what attraction Am I drawn, what morn forgotten by the prophets That pours on the dying distance its sad rites?
 * Hérodiade.

 * Away with those perfumes that do me harm! I hate them, nurse, and would you have me feel Their drunken vapors make my senses reel?
 * Hérodiade.

 * How, save through obscure Terrors, imagine more implacable still And as a suppliant the god who some day will Receive the gift of your grace! and for whom, Devoured by anguish, do you keep the unknown Splendor and mystery of your being?
 * Nurse.

 * I wait, but do not know for what or why Or perhaps you are uttering the last bruised sighs, Ignorant of the mystery and of your cries, Of a childhood feeling its frozen gems Being broken off at last amidst its dreams.
 * Hérodiade.

 * I am alone in my monotonous country, While all those around me live in the idolatry Of a mirror reflecting in its depths serene Herodiade, whose gaze is diamond keen ... O final enchantment! yes, I sense it, I am alone.
 * Hérodiade.

 * The sun as it's halted Miraculously exalted Resumes its descent Incandescent.

 * I feel in my sinews The spreading of shadows Converging together With a shiver And in solitary vigil After flights triumphal My head rise From this scythe Through a clean rupture That serves to dissever The ancient disharmony With the body As drunk from fasting It persists in following With a haggard bound Its gaze profound Up where the frozen Absolute has chosen That nothing shall measure Its vastness, O glacier But according to a ritual Illumined by the principle That chose my consecration It extends a salutation.
 * Hérodiade.

The Afternoon of a Faun (1876)

 * L'après-midi d'un faune as translated by Roger Fry in Poems : Stéphane Mallarmé (1936)

 * '''These nymphs I would perpetuate. So clear Their light carnation, that it floats in the air Heavy with tufted slumbers. Was it a dream I loved?

 * All alone I gave Myself for triumph the ideal sin of roses.

 * No water murmurs but what my flute pours On the chord sprinkled thicket; and the sole wind Prompt to exhale from my two pipes, before It scatters the sound in a waterless shower, Is, on the horizon's unwrinkled space, The visible serene artificial breath Of inspiration, which regains the sky.

 * Inert, all burns in the fierce hour

 * Then shall I awake to the primitive fervour, Straight and alone, 'neath antique floods of light, Lilies and one of you all through my ingenuousness.

 * My breast, though proofless, still attests a bite Mysterious, due to some august tooth; But enough! for confidant such mystery chose The great double reed which one plays 'neath the blue.

 * I, proud of my rumour, for long I will talk Of goddesses; and by picturings idolatrous, From their shades unloose yet more of their girdles: So when of grapes the clearness I've sucked, To banish regret by my ruse disavowed, Laughing, I lift the empty bunch to the sky, Blowing into its luminous skins and athirst To be drunk, till the evening I keep looking through. Oh nymphs, we diverse MEMORIES refill.

 * Ah well, towards happiness others will lead me With their tresses knotted to the horns of my brow: You know, my passion, that purple and just ripe, The pomegranates burst and murmur with bees; And our blood, aflame for her who will take it, Flows for all the eternal swarm of desire.

 * Etna! 'tis amid you, visited by Venus On your lava fields placing her candid feet, When a sad stillness thunders wherein the flame dies. I hold the queen!

 * No more, I must sleep, forgetting the outrage, On the thirsty sand lying, and as I delight Open my mouth to wine's potent star! Adieu, both! I shall see the shade you became.

The Ricky Gervais Show: XFM Radio

The Ricky Gervais Show is a humorous audio show in the U.K. starring Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington. The show started in November 2001 on Xfm, and aired in weekly periods for months at a time throughout 2002, 2003, 2004, and mid-2005. In November 2005, the Positive Internet Company hosted the show on behalf of The Guardian as a podcast as a series of 12 shows.

Birds With Knobs

 * Stephen: Right, this is one I'm throwing right at you, Karl, err. There's only one bird that has a penis. Which bird is it?
 * Ricky: It's not a joke?
 * Stephen: No, it's not a joke, this is not a joke. It's a genuine trivia question.
 * Ricky: Ok, I'd say... I'll say, I think I've seen one on this, er, is it an ostrich?
 * Stephen: Right, you're going for ostrich, Karl?
 * Karl: I'll go for ostrich as well.
 * Stephen: Right... did you come up with that yourself?
 * Karl: Yep, I was gonna way that before he said it.
 * Stephen: Right. Well, guys you went for...
 * Karl: [Chicken?]
 * Stephen: ...ostrich, you're both wrong. It's actually the swan.
 * Ricky: [laughs] Chicken!
 * Stephen: [laughs] Yer!
 * Ricky: That's a bit worrying then, because I thought I saw an ostrich penis, so what was I looking at?
 * Stephen: I dont know, were you just examining it closely at the zoo?
 * Ricky: No, I was just, I was just...
 * Stephen: It was probably a strap-on.
 * Ricky: It was probably two lezzer ostriches giving each other one.
 * Stephen: Exactly.
 * Ricky: And that's how it can influence, things like that, dirty, filthy lezz ostriches can...
 * Stephen: Confuse a child, if he's at the zoo, and he doesn't know.
 * Ricky: A swan's got a...? That's really annoying, I'd never give a swan a knob.
 * Stephen: Hmm.
 * Ricky: It's the poofiest of all birds.
 * Stephen: It is the poofiest of all birds.
 * Ricky: "Oh, I'm protected by the Queen, but I need a knob." I'd give... if I had to give a knob to any bird, um...
 * Stephen: [laughs] Good question.
 * Ricky: [No!]
 * Stephen: No, I wish I'd posed that myself: If you could give a knob to any bird, what would it be? Phone in.
 * Ricky: Vulture!
 * Stephen: Well of course a vulture.
 * Ricky: They need a cock.
 * Stephen: What about yourself, Karl? If you could give a knob to any bird? And don't make it rude!
 * Ricky: It's gotta be a bird of prey or something like that hasn't it?
 * Karl: Just a robin, really.
 * Stephen: [laughs] That would have been amazing...
 * Ricky: [laughs] Yeah!
 * Karl: Christmas cards would be like...
 * Ricky: Yeah, but it's a normal human sized knob... on a robin. That would be great wouldn't it.
 * Stephen: That would be genius.
 * Ricky: And the other thing annoying about this, this is ironic, right, now, the male of all bird species are usually, they're called a "cock"...
 * Stephen: Yes.
 * Ricky: ...but the only bird with a cock...
 * Stephen: Yep.
 * Ricky: ...is called a "cob"!
 * Stephen: Is that what a swan's called?
 * Ricky: Yeah, they're cob and pen, not cock and hen!
 * Stephen: Right.
 * Ricky: And he's isn't a cock, but he's got a cock!
 * Stephen: Yeah, yeah, quick query there rick...
 * Ricky: Go on...
 * Stephen: When you said, then, "cock", presumably you meant male bird, the first time you said it.
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Stephen: The second time you said it, you said "cock", do you mean the penis?
 * Ricky: Well, you're showing off the whole farse of radio broadcasting...
 * Stephen: Because you're not really allowed to say "cock" when you mean penis.
 * Ricky: Exactly, no. One cock would cause great offence...
 * Stephen: Yeah...
 * Ricky: ...the other cock's fine.
 * Stephen: [laughs] Exactly.
 * Ricky: It's weird isn't it?
 * Stephen: It is strange, it is strange! So if I said now to you now, "Ooh, I like cocks"...
 * Ricky: Yeah...
 * Stephen: ...meaning birds...
 * Ricky: Yeah, that's fine.
 * Stephen: But if it meant penises it would be a problem.
 * Ricky: If you like...
 * Stephen: Right, Karl, do you like cocks?...
 * [Ricky stifles laughter]
 * ...Do you like cocks?
 * Karl: No.
 * Stephen: Right, ok, no that's fine, that's fine, I was asking if you liked...
 * Ricky: No, I like you know...
 * Stephen: Well I mean, I'm a big fan of, um, tits...
 * Ricky: ...the small birds that come down and peck at your...
 * Stephen: ...yeah.
 * Ricky: Yeah, you like tits and cocks, there's nothing wrong with... Karl, don't worry. There's nothing wrong with saying "tits" and "cocks".
 * Stephen: Because when I said "tits" I meant the little birds...
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Stephen: ...and when I say "cocks" I mean the big birds.
 * Ricky: Yeah. Do you know, when um... [laughs]
 * Stephen: Go on, no, go on...
 * Ricky: No, it's just that when you were talking about tits...
 * Stephen: Yeah?
 * Ricky: You know, at the milk... do you... they... I like the fact that they flutter away when they hear the milkman coming.
 * Karl: Argh, come on!
 * Ricky: What?
 * Stephen: What you talking about? What are you talking about? No, when the milkman's coming...

Look At Karl's Face

 * Ricky: Gotta apologise to our producer there, because he was worried about... there was nothing wrong with it, it's just like saying you, you know, you like watching birds in the garden...
 * Karl: It's just i think you're better than that.
 * Ricky: I know, it's cheap isn't it to say like, I like tits, or I like cocks, so we're gonna be a bit more literary now, one of my favorite things is "Fanny by Gas Light".
 * Stephen: Really?
 * Ricky: Yes.
 * Stephen: That's interesting, I'm a big fan of "Moby Dick".
 * Ricky: Oh, the, oh yeah, the book, "Moby Dick", not the medical condition, there's nothing inuendal, no it's the big horrible thing that used to swallow sea-men. No I, in the winter, Steve...
 * Stephen: Yeah...
 * Ricky: Steve... there's nothing I like more than to keep my hands in a warm muff.
 * Stephen: No, sure, sure, you mean those kind of furry things that, you know classy looking ladies used to have...
 * Ricky: Yeah, posh ladies, often put their hands in... you know, when you have a nice, like party...
 * Stephen: A winter party, yeah.
 * Ricky: And you might take the wrong hat or something, there's nothing I like more than to see two posh women with their hands in each other's muffs, and they're going, "Oh, this must be yours"!
 * Stephen: Yeah, that is always funny.
 * Ricky: Yeah, um, but, seriously, stop this, I've got a philosophy degree...
 * Stephen: I've just rememberd that my favorite Beatle's song is "Come Together".
 * Ricky: Yeah, now, we're gonna stop this now, Karl, because it's childish, you're right, I've got a philosophy degree, for Christ's sake, and it's about time...
 * Stephen: Who's your favorite philosopher, do you mind me askin'?
 * Ricky: Well, I would tell you, except, when I ever talk about it I always go into a cockney accent, it... it can be like "My favorite philosopher, I like a bit of Kant".
 * Stephen: Right... is that Emanuel Kant? The philosopher.
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Stephen: That's strange.
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Stephen: What's his surname again?
 * Ricky: "Kant"
 * Stephen: Oh yeah, yeah, that can be weird, can be strange.
 * Ricky: Look at Karl's face...
 * Stephen: Look at his face...
 * Ricky: Look at his face!
 * Stephen: Join in, Karl, undo your trousers, just let it all hang out, let your cock hang out.
 * Ricky: We'll be like Stan Boardman, when he told the Fokker joke.
 * Stephen: Yeah!
 * Ricky: We won't do local radio again for 10 years.

Nudism

 * Ricky: Hold on, can you have a naked transvestite? What are you then?
 * Stephen: Yeah. I suppose you're er...
 * Ricky: When Eddie Izzard's naked, is he a naked transvestite?
 * Stephen: That's a metaphorical... er, metaphysical question.
 * Ricky: Yeah!
 * Stephen: Yeah.
 * Ricky: On XFM 104.9!
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Stephen: If you know the answer to that metaphysical question, or indeed any of the famous ones... If a tree falls in the forest and no-one hears it, has it fallen over?
 * [Ricky, Stephen laugh]
 * Claire: Genius!
 * Ricky: Brilliant, that's brilliant!
 * Stephen: Yeah...
 * Ricky: What's the sound...
 * Stephen: ...If you leave the room, Rick, does it get quieter?
 * Ricky: Yeah! What's the sound of one leg hopping?
 * Stephen: [chuckles] Exactly!

Sold!

 * Ricky: Well, Karl, you're well chuffed aren't you? Tell Steve what just happened.
 * Karl: Steve's just rung up, he's put in an offer for the futon and the table. I think he definitely wanted it, but I said, "Look, you know, think about it over the weekend."
 * Ricky: Yep
 * Stephen: You're not a hustler?
 * Karl: Nope, I'm not gonna rush him into it, 'cause once he's got it he can't bring it back, I'm not messing about.
 * Stephen: No
 * Karl: Erm...
 * Ricky: The bloke said, "What sort of wood is it?", Karl said, "Er, sort of... sort of like a light brown colour", he went, "What, beech coloured?", Karl went, "Depends what beach you're on."

Have they read Shakespeare?

 * Karl: We've got, ehhhm, the- the monkey s- thing.
 * Ricky: "OOH Chimpanzee That!"
 * Karl: And when I was out last Sunday, right, at Johnny's birthday party--
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Karl: Steve was there--
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Karl: Got talkin' about stuff. Ehm, and a debate... that we didn't really finish... cropped up.
 * Steve: It blew your mind, didn't it?
 * Karl: Amazing.
 * Ricky: Oh, I know about this. Steve told me. This is the, uh, infinite amount of monkeys, uhm, or a monkey with a typewriter and an infinite amount of time would eventually come up with the works of Shakespeare.
 * Karl: Yeh.
 * Ricky: There was no debate. It's a philosophical, mathematical problem. There's no debate. It's true.
 * Karl: It wouldn't happen.
 * Ricky: No, listen Karl, listen. Infinity sorts it all out for ya... right. An infinite amount of monkeys at a typewriter, right- they would do- they would do everything. They'd type everything. Infinity just sorts it all out for ya. There's no gettin' to it and they're going, "Oh, well, let's have a look what they've done. This one's come close - he has 'Romeo and Juliop".
 * [Steve Laughs Slightly]
 * Ricky: It would do it all. It would type everything ever possible, conceivable. It--
 * Karl: Yeah but--
 * Ricky: It's a mathematical- infinity--
 * Steve: Well, we've heard your side of the argument, Rick--
 * [Ricky Laughs]
 * Steve: And I'll be honest with you, it's a persuasive one. But, let's hear Karl--
 * [Ricky Laughs]
 * Steve: Because he heard about this in a pub last week--
 * Ricky: Yeah, what's your problem?
 * Steve: So, he's got some strong ideas himself.
 * Ricky: What's your problem with it? What's your problem with it?
 * Karl: Well, f- first of all, right, you're saying it's a load of monkeys, it's not just one monkey that's- that can live forever.
 * Ricky: It depends. It- no, no, no, wait, wait... It's either a- a chimpanzee with a typewriter with an infinite amount of time, he would eventually, by definition, mathematically, type everything ever possible, okay, or it's an infinite amount of m- uhm, uh, chimps with typewriters and one of them will type it first time.
 * Karl: But already that's- that's, sort of... That's not right. You either need to have one--
 * Ricky: What do you mean?
 * Karl: Monkey--
 * Ricky: What- what- l-l- employment laws?
 * Steve: Let- let's hear his point.
 * Ricky: What do you mean, "it's not right"?!
 * Steve: Let's hear him out. Please.
 * Ricky: Okay.
 * Karl: If it's one monkey--
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Karl: With a typewriter that's got loads of ink in it and that, right, at least it knows what it's done in the past...
 * Ricky: Don't- it's not--
 * Steve: Keep going!
 * Ricky: Chri--
 * Karl: If you got a load of monkeys- it's like- it's like if you have too many- what's that saying about "too many chefs spoil the--"
 * Ricky: "Too many chimps spoil the soup."
 * Karl: Right, well it's the same thing. It's like, "Well I didn't tell ya to put salt in it. I was gonna put salt in it." and it messes it up. Whereas if it's just one, they know what's gone on. So what I'm saying is--
 * Ricky: I- I- I- I--
 * Steve: Just leave him go.
 * Ricky: I can't be bothered, Steve--
 * Steve: I want to hear- I want to hear the rest.
 * Ricky: I- i- this blows my mind. He doesn't know what this does to me. It's a mathematical problem--
 * Steve: I want to hear the rest.
 * Karl: Well, it's just- I just don't think it will happen.
 * Ricky: What do you mean you don't think it would happen? Infinity works it out for ya. By definition!
 * Karl: Well, what's stopping them typing the same thing again?
 * Ricky: They would. They'd- in fact, the problem should be, if you have an infinite amount, uh, uh, of time that, um, it would type the works of Shakespeare an infinite amount of times and everything else an infinite amount of times. But, you know, that's not- that's just- that's- that's not as--
 * Karl: But not... not Shakespeare.
 * Ricky: OHHHHHHH! SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT!
 * Steve: You know- Rick, do you know what he said to me? I said to him, uh- I explained it to him, I said--
 * Ricky: God!
 * Steve: "You've got an infinite number of monkeys, infinite number of typewriters, they will type the complete works of Shakespeare."
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Steve: He said, "Have they read Shakespeare?"
 * [Ricky Laughs]
 * Ricky: YOU'RE AN IDIOT! Play a record because I'm not having this conversation.
 * Steve: I said, "No, they're not doing it from memory--"
 * Ricky: I'm not havin' it because it (Slapping the Desk) really, really winds me up.
 * Karl: But you're saying they'll do it with no spelling errors?
 * Ricky: Wh- they'll do it a- a- they'll do it an infinite amount of times. And they'll do it- they'll do it wrong an infinite amount of times. And they'll do it- and they'll spell, uhh, the last full stop, uhh, wrong an infinite amount of times and they'll do it- and they'll get one thing wrong in "Hamlet" wrong an infinite amount of times. They'll do everything an infinite amount of times.
 * Karl: But are they going off a story that they've already--
 * Ricky: PLAY A RECORD, Karl because I'm gonna knock you out!
 * [Steve Giggles]
 * Karl: I'm just saying...
 * Ricky: SHUT UP!
 * Karl: Do they know the story?
 * Ricky: Aww G--
 * Steve: They're monkeys!
 * Ricky: Oh, Christ. Right, okay, shut up--

Daytime TV & Innovations

 * Stephen: Another thing is the.. anything like Claims Direct
 * Ricky: Oh, yeah
 * Stephen: Reconstructions of an accident, like tripping over a paving slab, one particularly chilling one of guy who's with his kid watching football. He's thinking, "Wish I could join in". There's a flashback of him up a ladder, on a very shiny surface, with no one supporting it, frankly.
 * Ricky: Oh, no. He's just asking for trouble
 * Stephen: Frankly, I blame him.
 * Ricky: Yeah
 * Stephen: The ladder topples for no reason, wind lets say, whenever I see it...
 * Ricky: I hope he never walks again.
 * Stephen: He falls off it, erm...
 * Ricky: Did he smash his face in? ...
 * [Stephen laughs]
 * ...did he fall on a spike? Because if he's gonna go up that ladder on a shiny surface, with no one holding it, right? Did he fall... did he crack... did he fall backwards on his head? The little f...
 * [Claire Sturgess laughs]
 * Stephen: Worse still, Gervais.
 * Ricky: Did he do the splits and crush his nuts? The f...
 * Stephen: Worse... than that...
 * Ricky: Go on.
 * Stephen: He made a considerable lump sum of cash. Thanks to...
 * Ricky: Aarrrgh... God. Oooh, no!
 * Stephen: Right? His negligence has...
 * Ricky: Hold on, Steve. Was there a yokel with a pitch-fork looking up as he fell on it?
 * Stephen: Nothing.
 * Ricky: Oooh, for f...
 * [Claire Sturgess laughs]
 * Stephen: I think he must have bruised his ankle, or...
 * Ricky: Oh, that's not enough, that hasn't taught him anything!
 * Stephen: It hasn't taught him a lesson, if anything, it's taught him to be more foolhardy in the future. 'Cause if you're gonna give out 5...3...5 grand, willy-nilly, to these... people... these lunatics... these oafs... these simpletons...
 * [Gervais giggles]

Episode 41, June 7, 2003

 * [The Flaming Lips' Fight Test]
 * Stephen: The Flaming Lips, and that's Fight Test
 * Ricky: Lips and Test...
 * Stephen: Lips Test
 * Ricky: ...on M
 * Stephen: We were talking there about homosexual people, and I'm sure we'll move on to other topics. Erm, but I'll just mention, I was talking to a friend of mine in the week. And he overheard, er, you know, you piece together, sometimes if you overhear a conversation you can piece together what they're talking about?
 * Ricky: Yeah
 * Stephen: And, erm, it sort of transpired from what he could make out, that one gay guy had just realised, or just found out, that his gay boyfriend had, er, maybe been having an affair. And was on the phone, erm, and had called this person, the third party...
 * Ricky: The other one was crying, wasn't he?
 * Stephen: The other one was crying, in tears. Obviously they had just had a big argument about it. And all he heard, on the phone, was the guy saying, in very kind of earnest tones, "I'm gonna do everything in my power to destroy you"...
 * [Ricky giggles;Stephen laughs]
 * ...And I just like to think what that was.
 * Ricky: "No more guest-list, to G-A-Y"
 * Stephen: ...G-A-Y" Er, "I'm going to slash your Diesel jeans, with a pair of scissors"!
 * Ricky: What if they're listening now?
 * Stephen: It's probably an emotional time for them
 * Ricky: They probably don't realise we're talking about them, it's probably happened quite a lot this week!

Episode 48, July 26, 2003

 * Karl: As long as you say something good about someone you can always say something bad about someone.
 * Stephen: How does that work?!
 * Ricky: Go on then. Give us an example.
 * Karl: Well, Chinese.
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Karl: Yeah.
 * Ricky: Yeah.
 * Karl: Great people, right?
 * [Ricky sniggers]
 * Ricky: Good.
 * Karl: Women, women really good looking, as younger people.
 * Ricky: NOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?
 * Karl: I'm just sayin', as long as you, you know what I mean there's good and bad in everything.
 * Ricky: Well, what are the old ones like?!
 * Karl: They, they don't age well!
 * Ricky: OHHFFFFFF-
 * Stephen: What do you mean?
 * Ricky: Agh!
 * Karl: The fella in Karate Kid - the teacher, was only about 36!
 * [Ricky and Steve laugh]
 * Ricky: [whilst laughing] we started this, we started this!
 * Karl: Fact.

= Season III =

Episode 1, November 1, 2003

 * [REM's What's The Frequency Kenneth?]
 * Ricky: What's the frequency, Kenneth? I'll tell you, it's 104.9 XFM. I'm Ricky Gervais, and with me, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington. [imitates American accent] Karl "The User" Pilkington...
 * Stephen: Just takes, takes, takes...
 * Ricky: ...takes, takes, takes. Destroyed a man...
 * [Gervais, Merchant giggle]
 * ...over to you, Steve.
 * [Merchant laughs]
 * Stephen: You should talk like that more. It's both cool and sexy.

Episode 5, November 29, 2003

 * Stephen: I've got another fact for you, Karl, might be of interest to you, the final one: The Ancient Babylonians... Had...
 * Karl: Ca...
 * Stephen: What?
 * Karl: Can I just stop you there? What's a "Babylonian"?
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Ricky: My heads gonna burst! What do you mean "What's a Babylonian?"?
 * Karl: I've never heard of one before.
 * Ricky: Well, think, work it out... what's an Evertonian?
 * Karl: Someone... fro... who supports Everton...
 * Ricky: Well, or from...?
 * Karl: From Liverpool.
 * Ricky: Right. So, what's a Babylonian?
 * Karl: From Baba...
 * [Ricky laughs]

Episode 6, December 6, 2003

 * Stephen: We get e-mails all the time, they're coming through... a lot of 'em, everybody's contributing, it's brilliant. But we can't absorb everything, there's too much coming through. So, I tend to open them quickly, I have a look to see if there's anything we can sort of, make sense of and... sometimes Karl looks at the e-mails as I'm opening them. One opened just a minute ago... did you... you saw his face?
 * Ricky: Yeah, what was it?
 * Stephen: His face was just stunned, absolutely dumbfounded...
 * Ricky: Yeah, what was it?
 * Stephen: It was like he'd just seen something extraordinary, right?
 * Ricky: And you closed it quickly...
 * Stephen: I did close it quickly, I'll tell you why. Always gotta bear in mind how Karl's mind works, er... all he saw... was the name of the band... that this e-mail was promoting...
 * Ricky: Right...
 * Stephen: ...so all he saw, all Karl saw... imagine how excited he was... "Half-man, Half-biscuit"
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...that's... that's all he saw...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Ricky: I've never seen anyone so excited! Oh, God!

Episode 6, January 9, 2006

 * Karl: The only time I wanted a wig was when I did jury duty once and it was annoying that I was sat on the jury right in front of these criminals. Everyone else has got disguises, the judges have got them wigs on.

Karl's Diary

 * Ricky: You started a diary?
 * Karl: Yeah.
 * Ricky: And, what are you gonna do? Did you... Did you keep it up, everyday?
 * Karl: Yeah just, er...
 * Ricky: Oh, can I read it, please?
 * Karl: Well, a diary's meant to be sort of...
 * Ricky: Ca-- Please can I read some out on this podcast? I... Karl?
 * Karl: Some of it, though, is only relevant to me. It's sort of...
 * Ricky: Oh, this is... Please, give me it. Oh my God.
 * Karl: I mean, this isn't... I haven't just--
 * Ricky: Look how big it is!
 * [Ricky & Stephen laugh]
 * Stephen: It's one of those desk diaries!
 * Ricky: Oh my good-- It's huge! It's about a foot long. And it's ma-- Oh, that is amazing! Imagine if Anne Frank's had been like that, as she got it out, "doofsh!" Right, everyone would have heard it clank down on the desk.
 * Karl: Yeah, but me writin's quite big, innit?
 * Ricky: Oh, look! Give us that!
 * Stephen: Oh...
 * Ricky: Give us that!
 * Stephen: Do you know... Do you know about joined-up writing? Have you heard about that?
 * Ricky: This is amazing!
 * Karl: There's no point. Sometimes you can't read it, can you? So it's best to...
 * Ricky: Right, okay, oh...
 * Karl: Look at... Look at ancient times...
 * Ricky: ...oh, look, this, oh my God, it starts on the first day. This is wonderful...
 * Going on holiday to Gran Canaria today. Woke up to the news that Tony Banks had died. There was a piece on the news about how everyone was shocked. Got me thinking about an invention that would be good...
 * [Ricky stifles laughter]
 * ...right...
 * ...a watch that counted down your life. If it says you've got three days left...
 * [Ricky stifles laughter]
 * ...go to the doctor's.
 * [Ricky & Stephen laugh]
 * Told Suzanne about invention. She said she wouldn't buy one, but she said that about the iPod.
 * [Ricky stifles laughter]
 * Stephen: How, er... And how would this device work, this watch? I mean, how would you, er... How would you know when you were about to die? Have you-- Is that a concer-- Again, not for you to worry about, presumably the boffins'd just sort that out?
 * Karl: No all I was thinkin' is that Tony Banks fella; you know, he died and everyone was shocked about it. But if you had, like, a little watch on...
 * Ricky: But, how d-- W-- You can't just say, "Wouldn't it be good?" How-- How would this work? Y-- I imagine you in the patent office, going, "Got an idea." They go, "Oh, certainly, er, Mr Pilkington, what's your idea?" "Watch that counts down your life." "Oh, how does that work?"
 * Karl: Just wear it-- Just pop it on your wrist.
 * Ricky: No, no. Not-- No, what do you mean "Just pop it on your wrist"? How does it work? "Just pop it on your wrist." Brilliant. You're an idiot.
 * Stephen: Well, it's interesting that he goes on...
 * The flight to Gran Canaria was a bit bumpy, I thought about the clock that counts down you life, again and I wondered whether it would know if you were going to die in a disaster.
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...now, he's querying his own inventions.
 * Ricky: He's wondering if he'd know...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Stephen: Er...
 * A fella on the plane was reading Koi Mag. It was a fishing magazine. I glanced over and noticed he was reading the "Pond Of The Month" article...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...don't think they could make it into a weekly magazine.
 * Stephen: Well I've seen someone on a train reading Carp Monthly, a magazine dedicated entirely to carp. And it had "Carp Of The Month". And, I remember thinking about three months in, the editor must be stressing, "Have we got anymore carp?"
 * Ricky: I reckon if they used the same carp twice, no-one would make any complaints. "OOh that's the carp they used two years ago"
 * Stephen:
 * There was a really fat bloke on the plane...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...he was playing on a PSP. While I was waiting to go to the toilet, I looked at what game he was playing. It was darts. He's that fat and lazy...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...he can't play a more active game on a games console.
 * [Ricky laughs and claps]
 * Me and Suzanne got off the coach along with a couple of old people. One of them was in a wheelchair. I don't think it was wise of them to come to a volcanic island with a wheelchair...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...everywhere's pretty rough paving and sloping. Guess I'll keep an eye on it as the weeks go on.

 * Day 2 in Gran Canaria...
 * Ricky: Brilliant, we're only at day 2!
 * Stephen:
 * ...the hotel's a bit odd, I've never seen as many cross-eyed people in one location...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Karl: That's enough innit?
 * Ricky: Amazing!
 * Stephen: You may as well let me read on a bit more...
 * Ricky: This is amazing... This is a brilliant diary, this might be the best diary ever written.
 * Stephen:
 * '...While I sat listening to The Kinks on my iPod, I wondered if everybody thinks in their accent. I know I do.
 * What's this? What are you talking about?
 * Karl: Well I was sitting there on me lounger...
 * Ricky: How do you know you think in your accent? Tell me a typical thought
 * Karl: Because, because, what I mean is, say if I was like, if I saw something, right? D'you know how I say "that's a bit weird, innit?"?
 * Ricky: No, but, I don't, ha... when you think I don't think the sentence as like I'm saying it, it's just a thought, the thought appears, it's conceptual and it's already there. It's not like I go, "Rick?" "What?" "Just err... looking at that fella over there were you?" "Yeah, I was yeah. Erm, I was think he looked a bit weird" "Oh, so was I", I don't think out whole sentences...
 * Stephen: Whereas, you have, "Karl? Karl? Karl? Stop listening to The Kinks for a minute. Look over there, more cross-eyed people"
 * Karl: Well, that's...
 * Stephen: Is that how your mind works?
 * Karl: In a way, yeah
 * Ricky: Brilliant
 * Stephen: That explains a lot!
 * Ricky: It's great, he has to think out whole sentences!
 * Karl: I thought "that's weird innit?" not "that's weird isn't it?" and I thought "I actually think in my accent" and then I thought "Does Stephen Hawking, does he, when he's doin' his maths and that, does he..." I don't know where he's from so I don't know what he's accent is like
 * Ricky: I think he's from err... Kent, or Cambridge, or Oxford or somewhere.
 * Karl: Right. So...
 * Stephen: So you think he might think in his accent?
 * Karl: In his voice... in that voice thing...
 * Stephen: Computer...?
 * Had lunch inside today due to shite weather. Sat next to an old fella. Old peoples ears and noses carry on growing as they get older. Suzanne noticed his fingers were fat too. Maybe they continue to grow. Suzanne didn't laugh when I said her arse had the same problem...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * ...Day 3, cloudy start to the day. Had pie and chips in a cafe. Had a bit of an argument with Suzanne when I said it was daft we were paying for food when we were on an all inclusive holiday. Changed my mind when I saw they sold pie though. The cafe we were in was called Tattoos, the fella who owned it didn't have any tattoos, but we never saw his wife.
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Ricky: Oh, brilliant
 * Stephen:
 * Had a drink in a bar, everyone sat and watched one of the local cats lick its bollocks.
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Ricky: It's the greatest holiday in the world! Have they no entertainment in that town?
 * Stephen:
 * Went back to the hotel and had a sleep before tea...
 * I love the fact... you're moaning about old people but you're just as bad
 * [Ricky, Stephen laugh]
 * Ricky: You've done nothing so far!
 * Stephen: He's done nothin' an' he's got to have a kip!
 * Woke up to news about ducks being badly treated. There was a really ugly one with bent legs.
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Ricky: I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! Why does he write this down?! Oh, God, oh
 * Stephen:
 * There was a fat bloke from Bolton, who is in the pool as I write this. He's got a big tattoo on his back but I can't work out what it is... he just got out of the pool and burped.
 * Just felt like you had to keep us abreast of that?
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * Ricky: Everything's in the diary! I just want it to get to the point where you go: "Breathed in, breathed out again"
 * Stephen:
 * There was a big fat fella in the sea who kept his T-shirt on. If you're big and fat, is there more chance of you getting burnt because there is more of you on show? I asked Suzanne, and she said she "didn't know" in that sort of not listening kind of way. I wanted to hang around and see if the fat bloke was going to get in the kayak...
 * [Ricky laughs]
 * '...but Suzanne said we had to head back.''
 * So we're waiting to see if he's gonna capsize?
 * We go home today, so we got up early to get the last bit of cloud.
 * Karl: It's that it wasn't er... it wasn't sunny all the time. I was sat in weather that, if it was like that here, there's no way I'd be sat in the garden. But because you're on holiday you've got to sit in it, put your coat on.
 * Stephen: So are you gonna continue to write this dairy?
 * Karl: Yeah
 * Ricky: It's amazing, keep this diary up. It's amazing
 * Karl: No, no I will. I will keep it up...

 * Karl: And... Jimmy 'The Hat', who...
 * Steve: "Jimmy 'The Hat'"?
 * Karl: Yeah.
 * Steve: And did he always wear a hat?
 * Karl: No he didn't... that... that was the point there. That he never wore a hat.
 * Ricky: That's amazing!
 * Steve: Brilliant.
 * Ricky: How can you pick up on someone never wearing a hat!?

Episode 5, April 4, 2006

 * Ricky: What would you do, though, if you was swimming, right, it was a nice little thing... you're on holiday, right? And there's this octopus there, and you're goin' round, right? And you see it start spittin' at you, poison?
 * Karl: Yeah...
 * Ricky: What would you say?
 * Karl: ...well it's too late then, I'd kick it...and I'd say, "knob-'ead". But what's the point? What's the point in gettin' annoyed? 'Cause it's, it's done it's stuff, ennit?
 * Ricky: I like the way he's kickin' it and callin' it a "knob-'ead"! Under the water! What is this octopus thinking?! Ohh, God! Oh, G- I'd go, "You fuckin' eight-legged shit"...
 * Karl: Not bothered, I'm not bothered, I don't know why you're sayin'...
 * Ricky: ..."You fuckin'...fuckin' cunt of a mollusc"...
 * Karl: ...it'd just spit at you again, it's not bothered.
 * Ricky: ..."You slimy, little fuckin' boneless wanker"...
 * Stephen: Are you still talking to the octopus?

Episode 1, August 22, 2006

 * Ricky: Hello, and welcome back to the first in the third series of the Ricky Gervais Show. With me, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant...
 * Stephen: Hello there.
 * Ricky: ...and the fool, the round-headed buffoon, that is... Karl Pilkington.
 * Karl: A'right.
 * Ricky: We've been away filming our second series of Extras, leaving Karl to his own devices, in a sweltering London. We've had a heatwave here in the capital city, haven't we, Karl?
 * Karl: It's been hot yeah.
 * Ricky: It's been up to a hundred degrees, record breaking temperatures.
 * Karl: Yeah.
 * Ricky: So, what you been doing though?
 * Karl: Sort of enjoyed it a little bit, was out and about...
 * Ricky: Yeah?
 * Karl: ...gettin' to see the place, having loads of walks walks an' that, I like to have walks...
 * Stephen: Like a dog.
 * Ricky: [laughs] Yeah, when he jumps off the couch, and starts scratching against the door...
 * Stephen: Suzanne thinks "It's time for a walk"

 * Ricky: So, while we've been filming a TV show, you've been watching insects.
 * Karl: Yeah, 'cause everybody knows the insects are out there, but no-ones keeping an eye on 'em.
 * Stephen: Why, what are they up to? What are you worried about?
 * Karl: Well, Steve, you wouldn't be laughin' like that, if you'd watch 'em, 'cause they do some weird stuff an' that, is what I mean.
 * Stephen: What sort of stuff, any examples?.
 * Karl: Err, I saw a bee have ' heart-attack.
 * [Ricky, Stephen laugh]
 * Stephen: You saw a bee have a heart-attack?
 * Karl: Yep.
 * Stephen: How were you sure it was a heart-attack?
 * Karl: 'Cause what happened...
 * Ricky: Did it clutch its chest with all six legs?
 * Karl: No, I...
 * Stephen: Were there little bee paramedics?
 * Karl: No, I'd just been out in the park anyway, just looking at caterpillars knocking about, all the butterflies an' stuff...
 * Ricky: [laughs] So, when Susanne goes to work, she goes, "Karl, don't you waste the day, just 'cause you don't work at the radio station anymore, I want you to do some constructive stuff", and you go, "Yeah, I am, yeah." So, in your head, suddenly goes, [whistles tune]. And he goes out, and, "Ooh, there's a moth."

Karl's Poem No.1: "If Moths Had Eyes"

 * Karl:
 * If moths had eyes, would they be happier?
 * How do they know they're not dead?
 * Cavemen hunting for food,
 * But not before they style the hair on their head
 * What would last longer in dinosaur times?
 * A blind man didn't stand a chance. Not with all them rocks about
 * I'd rather be a blind moth

Karl's Poem No.2: "Bubbled Wallpaper"

 * Karl:
 * Bubbled wallpaper, what a mess
 * Washer dryer knackered, what a mess
 * Siamese twins separated, one leg less

Karl's Poem No.3: "Jellyfish"

 * Karl:
 * I don't like jellyfish, they’re not a fish, they're just a blob
 * They don’t have eyes, fins or scales like a cod
 * They float about blind, stinging people in the seas
 * And no one eats jellyfish with chips and mushy peas
 * Get rid of them

Episode 5, September 19, 2006

 * Stephen: Well, I don't know about you, Rick, but I would love to see, perhaps on the Web, it's very easy to put stuff on webpages now...some kind of illustration, computer-generated, could be drawn by hand, of the new model Karl. Bear in mind, people, that he's got testicles underneath his ears...
 * Ricky: And a big thumbnail on his forehead.
 * Stephen: ...big thumbnail on his forehead.
 * Ricky: And, talking of Karl, I wanna see his head everywhere, it's the roundness that I like, okay, so, do a viral campaign, anyone out there with a picture of Karl, just get it everywhere. 'Cause I want, eventually, everyone to...as they walk past him in the street, to shout, "You shaved monkey!", or, "look at that bald head!", or, "look at fuckin' coco-nut face, you got a head like a fuckin' orange!".

Karl's Poem No.6: "My Ward"

 * Karl:
 * Me, a Chinese fella and an old bloke,
 * Who looked like Mr Burns from 'The Simpsons',
 * Don't know what was wrong with him,
 * But breaking wind was the symptoms.

 * No one visited him or called him.
 * He seemed quite lost to me.
 * As well as wind problems,
 * He had a colostomy.

 * When I left,
 * I said "see ya" to the old man.
 * Turned out the other fella wasn't Chinese,
 * He was from Japan.

 * I never found out what was up with him.

Part III: Christmas, December 25, 2006

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 We. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name We~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 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
