Saw II

Saw II is a 2005 horror film; it is the sequel to the 2004 film Saw. Seven ex-convicts, and a teenager wake up in a house filled with poisonous nerve gas and must work together to find a way to escape alive, while a SWAT team interrogate the nefarious Jigsaw Killer in his own lair for the whereabouts of his victims.

 * Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. Written by Leigh Whannell and Darren Lynn Bousman.

Oh, Yes. There Will Be Blood (taglines)

Quotes

 * I want to play a game.
 * What would you have done five years ago? Would you have followed the manual then? Would you have broken my jaw with a flashlight?
 * Not long to go now until your son is pissing blood.
 * [Whilst Eric Matthews has forced a pistol into his mouth] Game—Game over. I'll take you to the house.
 * [Directing Eric to the house] It's the last house on the left.

Tapes

 * Hello, Michael. I want to play a game. So far, in what loosely could be called your life, you have made a living watching others. Society would call you an informant, a rat, a snitch. I call you unworthy of the body you possess. Of the life you've been given. Now we will see if you are willing to look inward, rather than outward, to give up the one thing you rely on in order to go on living. The device around your neck is a death mask. The mask is on a string timer. If you do not locate the key in time, the mask will close. Think of it like a Venus Flytrap. What you're looking at right now is your own body, not more than two hours ago. Don't worry. You're sound asleep, and can't feel a thing. Taking into account that you are at a great disadvantage here, I am going to give you a hint as to where I have hidden the key. So listen carefully. The hint is this: [TV screen shows an x-ray.] It's right before your eyes. How much blood would you shed to stay alive, Michael? Live or die, make your choice.
 * Greetings...and welcome. I trust that you are all wondering where you are. I can assure you that while your location is not important, what these walls offer you is important: salvation, if you earn it. Three hours from now, the door to this house will open. Unfortunately, you only have two hours to live. Right now, you are breathing in a deadly nerve agent. You've been breathing it since you arrived here. Those of you familiar with the Tokyo subway attacks will know its devastating effects on the human body. The only way to overcome it and walk out that door is to find an antidote. Several are hidden around this house. One is inside the safe in front of you. You all possess the combination to the safe. Think hard. The numbers are in the back of your mind. The clue to their order can be found over the rainbow. Once you realize what you all have in common, you will gain a better understanding of why you're here. X marks the spot for that clue, so look carefully. Let the game begin.
 * Hello, Obi. I want to play a game. For years you have burned those around you with your lies, cons, and deceits. Now you will have a chance to redeem yourself, for the games you've played with others, by playing one of mine. Inside the device in front of you are two antidotes for the poison coursing through your veins. One is my gift to you for helping me kidnap the others. The second is yours to donate. However, one will come with a price. Remember Obi: Once you are in Hell, only the devil can help you out.
 * Hello, Xavier. I want to play a game. The game I want to play is very similar to the game you've been playing as a drug dealer. The game of offering hope to the desperate, for a price. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate. So, I offer you hope. The price you pay is that you must crawl into the same pit of squalor you force your customers into. By entering this room, you have started a timer. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock it and retrieve the antidote inside. I will give you just one hint where to that key is: It will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Let the game begin.

Michael Marks

 * Help! Anyone? HELP!!!
 * Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck are you?! Who the fuck are you?!
 * Someone, help me!
 * Help me!!!
 * (Last words) No,no,no no,no,no,no,no,no,no!

Eric Matthews

 * [To Daniel] Your mother gets to keep custody, I get to take you into custody.
 * [To Daniel] Well then go!
 * [To Jigsaw] Hey. Is this close enough?
 * [To Jigsaw, about his son] You MOTHERFUCKER!! WHERE IS HE?!
 * I don't want to talk to him.
 * The clock is ticking, John.
 * It's a little hard to follow the manual when you've got my son, John.
 * First, you said you wanted to talk. Then you said you wanted to play a game. You're talking, but it means NOTHING!
 * Putting a gun to someone's head and forcing them to pull the trigger is still murder.
 * Shut the FUCK up!
 * [Amanda locks him in the bathroom from the first film] I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! No! NO!!! [Screams fade away]

Jonas

 * We don't even know what's in those syringes. You willin' to stick yourself in the arm to find out?
 * Whatever we do, we've got three minutes to get it done.
 * You and me, we can keep going at each other like we're back in the yard, or we can come together and figure out who's doing this to us.
 * You remind me of me. No matter what kind of fucked-up situation you're in, you always got to find yourself a enemy. You know what? I got enemies, man. Outside these fucking walls, bro. And they're looking for me. And if they don't find me, they're going after the ones closest to me. My family. You understand?
 * All I'm saying is let's just take our time and come up with a game plan

Xavier

 * [To Addison] Look who's talking. The only door you know how to open...is between your legs!
 * It's just me and that's the way I like it.

Dialogue

 * Daniel: Took you long enough.
 * Eric Matthews: [Sarcastically] I'm sorry. I didn't have it penciled in on my schedule.

 * Daniel: I just think I should go back to Mom's early.
 * Eric Matthews: What did you say?
 * Daniel: What, can you not hear me?
 * Eric Matthews: No, I can't hear you. Say it again.
 * Daniel: [Slowly] I think I should go back to Mom's--
 * Eric Matthews: Well, then go!

 * Kerry: It was the arriving officer who called it in as your buddy.
 * Eric Matthews: He wasn't my buddy. He was an informant. This officer IDed him just by looking at him?
 * Kerry: Well, he wasn't positive. That's why I wanted you here.
 * Eric Matthews: All right. Well, let me get a look at his face. I'll tell you in two seconds if it's him or not.
 * Kerry: Therein lies the problem.

 * Kerry: All right, let's just pretend for a second that this is new to us, all right? Can you think of anyone that would want to do this to your guy?
 * Eric Matthews: Well, he's an informant, Kerry. You want a list of possible suspects? Grab a phone book.
 * Kerry: Crackhead county punks don't have engineering degrees. Now I'd say that our cause of death here narrows that list down just a little bit, wouldn't you?

 * Eric Matthews: You know, you and that guy have a lot in common, Kerry.
 * Kerry: Oh, yeah?
 * Eric Matthews: Yeah. You both like playing games with people.
 * Kerry: Excuse me?
 * Eric Matthews: Don't ever pull some shit like that again on me at a crime scene.
 * Kerry: I'm not the one taunting you. He is.
 * Eric Matthews: Doesn't mean I have to take the bait. Besides, I got a full caseload as it is.
 * Kerry: A bunch of desk errands and shit work.
 * Eric Matthews: Yeah, well, between that and the IA breathing down my neck, my son's budding criminal career and my wife's fucking divorce lawyers, I'd say my hands are pretty full, wouldn't you?
 * Kerry: Yeah. Look, I'm sorry. I was hoping, maybe, that I could bring you in on this one.
 * Eric Matthews: We're not partners anymore, Kerry.
 * Kerry: Hey, forget that we're not partners. What about the fact this guy wrote your fucking name on the wall, huh? He asked for you!
 * Eric Matthews: It's not the first time some psychopath called me out.
 * Kerry: All right. What about the fact that I'm asking?
 * Eric Matthews: Can't help you.
 * Kerry: [Sarcastically] Wow.
 * Eric Matthews: You're the Jigsaw expert.
 * Kerry: When did you stop being a cop?

 * Kerry: Thought your caseload was big enough as it is.
 * Eric Matthews: Just taggin' along for the ride.

 * Eric Matthews: Hey. This close enough?
 * Rigg: Get his ass out of here.
 * [Eric starts to leave]
 * John: Actually, I will need to remain here while you deal with your problem, Detective Matthews.
 * Eric Matthews: What problem?
 * John: The problem in that room.

 * Eric Matthews: What the fuck is that?! Hey! HEY! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
 * John: It's your son Daniel. You remember him, don't you?
 * Eric Matthews: I know who he is, you piece of shit! What is he doing on that fucking monitor?!
 * John: Well, I haven't looked at the monitors for some time, so it would be hard for me to say, but I would imagine he's cowering in a corner with a look on his face--
 * Eric Matthews: You motherfucker! [Runs forward - Rigg restrains him] You motherfucker! Where is he?! WHERE IS HE?!
 * John: Where is he? That's a problem you're gonna have to solve before it's too late. He has about... two hours before the gas creeping into his nervous system begins to break down his body tissue and he begins to bleed from every orifice he has. [Smiles] Oh, yes. There will be blood.
 * Eric Matthews: Tell me where he is.
 * John He's in a safe place.

 * Gus: How do you just wake up in a room and have no idea where you are?
 * Xavier: I guess you've never been drunk before.
 * Gus: I've been drunk. I spent three years at college drunk. This isn't drunk. This is kidnapping.

 * [Amanda pulls out a loose section of bricks, finding a tape recorder]
 * Jonas: What is this?
 * Amanda: Everything you need to know is on this. [Starts the tape]

 * Jonas: You better start talking right now! What is this?!
 * Amanda: It's a game.
 * Jonas: AIN'T NO FUCKING GAME! MY MAN JUST GOT HIS HEAD BLOWN OFF!
 * Amanda: He's testing us.
 * Jonas: Who's testing us?!
 * Amanda: Jigsaw.
 * Jonas: Who the hell is Jigsaw?!
 * Addison: You don't watch the fucking news?
 * Jonas: No. Who is he?
 * Addison: He's a serial killer.
 * Amanda: No, he's not. He's testing us. He wants us to survive this. But you have to play by the fucking rules!
 * Jonas: OK, I'm gonna ask you again. How do you know all this?
 * Amanda: Because I've played before.

 * Eric Matthews: What do you want with me?
 * John: A little of your time, Detective.
 * Eric Matthews: I don't have any time.
 * John: You asked me what I wanted and I told you. Believe me when I tell you your son is in a lot of trouble.
 * Eric Matthews: And if I give you a little bit of my time? What then?
 * John: I only want to talk to you. Everyone else must leave. Those are my conditions.
 * Eric Matthews: No. It's a crime scene. Nobody leaves.
 * John: They don't have to leave the building. They just have to leave this area long enough for me to talk to you. If you agree to that, then you will see your son again.
 * Eric Matthews: If I don't see my son, I swear to god I'll rip your fucking head off.
 * John: I don't intend to mock you, Officer, but I'm a cancer patient. How could you possibly put me in any more pain than I'm already in?

 * Kerry: Should have your tech team here in about an hour or two.
 * Eric Matthews: He said he wants to talk to me.
 * Kerry: Well, maybe you should talk to him.
 * Rigg: Well, fuck that. Five minutes. Old-school method.
 * Kerry: He's not gonna respond to phone-book treatment. You know that.
 * Rigg: Don't underestimate a tried and true method here.
 * Kerry: I am the one who's been working on this case since day one. I have been spending every waking moment piecing it together.
 * Rigg: Maybe that's why you ain't got no family for yourself and you can't understand what this man is going through.
 * [Kerry approaches Eric]
 * Eric Matthews: Don't.
 * Kerry: Look.
 * Eric Matthews: I don't want to talk to him.
 * Kerry: Listen, you already lost your son one time before because you got involved with me. It's not gonna happen again.
 * Rigg: This is bullshit! What are we gonna do?
 * Kerry: Just humor him. Buy us a little more time. You can win this, Eric. You can beat him. Come on.
 * Eric Matthews: All right.

 * Eric Matthews: Okay. Let's talk.
 * John: Sit down. [Eric grabs a chair and sits in it] I want to play a game. The rules are simple. All you have to do is sit here and talk to me, listen to me. [Eric puts a walkie-talkie on the floor] If you do that long enough, then you will find your son in a safe and secure state. We haven't been properly introduced. My name's John.
 * Eric Matthews: I thought you like to be called Jigsaw.
 * John: No. [Laughs] It was the police and the press who coined the nickname Jigsaw. I never encouraged or claimed that. The jigsaw piece that I cut from my subjects was only ever meant to be a symbol that that subject was missing something. A vital piece of the human puzzle. The survival instinct.
 * Eric Matthews: This is all really, really interesting, John. But right now I'd really like for you to talk to me.
 * John: I am talking to you. You're not listening. Don't forget the rules.
 * Eric Matthews: I am listening to you, but all I'm getting is the same sick fucking bullshit that comes about two seconds into every interview I've ever done with one of you fucking people.
 * John: Well, that's an interesting approach to police work, isn't it? Aren't you supposed to be convincing me that I'm your friend, lulling me into a false sense of security so that I'll confide in you?
 * Eric Matthews: It's a little hard to follow the manual when you've got my son, John.
 * John: The manual? What do you really want to do to me right now, huh? What would you have done five years ago? Would you have followed the manual then? Would you have broken my jaw with a flashlight?
 * Eric Matthews: You seem to know a whole lot about me.
 * John: I know you were once considered a fearless police officer. Do you feel a whole lot safer now that you only sit behind a desk?
 * Eric Matthews: I feel a whole lot of things right now.
 * John: But you feel alive. That's what you feel, and that's the point. [Pauses] Would you... kindly get me a glass of water? [Holds up a paper cup] I would very much appreciate that.

 * [Xavier tries to break open a door with the bat, but steel bars behind the doors block their escape]
 * Xavier: Fuck!
 * Addison: Well, we've established that the macho-bullshit approach isn't opening the door. Any other suggestions?
 * Xavier: Look who's talking. The only door you know how to open... is between your legs!
 * Addison: [lunges toward Xavier] Why don't you just shut the hell up?!
 * Jonas: Come on, man.
 * Xavier: [to Addison] Why don't you shut the hell up?!
 * Addison: I'm sick of your bullshit!
 * [Jonas tries to separate the two]
 * Xavier: That's right! Back up, bitch!
 * Addison: That's your luck, bending on over in prison, you little dickhead! Asshole!
 * Xavier: What you gonna do? Bitch!
 * [Jonas finally separates them]
 * Jonas: Hey! Hey! Okay, man. Nobody takes shit from nobody. We've established that.

 * Xavier: "Obi?"
 * Jonas: What the fuck is a Obi?
 * Obi: Ah-bee. It's my name.

 * Laura: You put us in here! You can get us out of here!
 * Obi: No, I can't.
 * Xavier: Then you're a dead man.
 * Obi: So are you.
 * [Xavier approaches Obi to kill him]
 * Addison: He's not gonna... [Restrains him] Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait. Listen to me. Okay, we got two antidotes at the back of that oven. We're wasting time here.
 * Laura: Wasting time?! Are you kidding me?! He kidnapped me in the middle of the night!
 * Jonas: We don't even know what's in those syringes. You willing to stick yourself in the arm to find out?
 * Daniel: Okay, wait. So who gets them? I mean, there's two. So which two people get the antidote?
 * Xavier: We'll work that out later! [Grabs Obi] Right now, you're going in there... [Holds the knife to Obi's throat] Or I'll kill you where you stand!
 * [Obi calmly slits the knife across his throat, much to Xavier's shock]
 * Obi: If you're gonna threaten me with a knife, you might as well cut me a little. I guess I'm going in there to get those needles. But I get one.

 * Rigg: Another one down, Kerry. How much more time are we gonna waste on this bastard?
 * Kerry: We are not wasting time. We are doing exactly what we should be doing before the tech team gets here.
 * Rigg: It's not what it looks like to me.

 * John: You see, Detective. Darwin's theory of evolution and survival of the fittest, based on his little trip to the Galápagos, no longer applies on this planet. We have a human race that doesn't have the edge or the will to survive.
 * Eric Matthews: What the fuck do you want?!
 * John: It's hard to remain calm, isn't it? When your son is walking around on those monitors.
 * Eric Matthews: I can't give you what you want if you don't tell me what the fuck it is.
 * John: I told you what it is. Just remember the rules.
 * Eric Matthews: No, you said you wanted to talk. Then you said you wanted to play a game. You're talking, but it means NOTHING!!
 * John: What do you think the cure for cancer is, Eric?
 * Eric Matthews: What?
 * John: The cure for cancer? What is it?
 * Eric Matthews: I don't know what it is, but I know it's not killing and torturing people for your own sick fucking pleasure.
 * John: I've never murdered anyone in my life. The decisions are up to them.
 * Eric Matthews: Yeah, well, putting a gun to someone's head and forcing them to pull the trigger is still murder.
 * John: Since when has force been a problem for you? Why are you so desperate to get your son back?
 * Eric Matthews: 'Cause he's my son...
 * John: What's the last thing you said to him before you left him?
 * [Flashback]
 * Eric Matthews: Well, then go!
 * [Present]
 * John: Seems to me that the knowledge of your son's impending death is causing you to act. Forgive all his sins, to wipe the slate clean. Why is that we're only willing to do that, when a life is at stake?
 * Eric Matthews: I've always loved my son. That's never changed.
 * John: No... no... It's changed now. You see, the knowledge of death... changes everything. If I were to tell you the exact date and time of your death... it would shatter your world completely. I know. Can you imagine what it feels like to have someone sit you down and tell you that you're dying? The gravity of that? That the clock's ticking for you. In a split second, your world is cracked open. You look at things differently, smell things differently. You savor everything, be it a glass of water or a walk in the park.
 * Eric Matthews: The clock is ticking, John.
 * John: But most people have the luxury of not knowing when that clock's going to go off. And the irony of it is that that keeps them from really living their life. It keeps them sleepwalking. It keeps them drinking that glass of water, but never really tasting it.
 * Eric Matthews: You can still fix this, John.
 * John: Yeah, but can we fix you?
 * Eric Matthews: Me?
 * John: I'm not fixable. I've got cancer.
 * Eric Matthews: [in disbelief] You're using cancer as an excuse for what you do?
 * John: No. The cancer isn't what started me in my work. It was the moment I decided to end my life... that started me in my work. I had literally driven myself to suicide, and I had failed. My body had not been strong enough to repel cancer cells, yet I had lived through a plunge off a cliff. But, to my amazement, I was alive. And I was determined to spend the rest of my days testing the fabric of human nature. Do you understand, Eric?
 * Eric Matthews: You got a chance to do something. Do it right now, John. Just tell me where my son is. I'll help you.
 * John: I don't need your help, and I can tell you still don't understand. Those who don't appreciate life do not deserve life.
 * Eric Matthews: My son appreciates his life.
 * John: But do you appreciate yours? Do you appreciate your son's?
 * Eric Matthews: [Hits the table] Oh, this is shit! [Stands and walks away]
 * John: Don't forget the rules. If you want to find your son.
 * [Eric ignores him and leaves]

 * Daniel: Amanda, you said you survived this, right?
 * Amanda: I what?
 * Daniel: This, guy, whoever's doing it, you said that you've played before and you survived.
 * Amanda: [Flips over a couch] Yeah.
 * Daniel: So that means we could survive?
 * Amanda: Maybe.
 * Daniel: Amanda, why did he pick you?
 * Amanda: Because I was a fucking junkie. And the funny thing is, I passed his little test.
 * Daniel: If you passed his test, then why are you back here?
 * Amanda: I wasn't being very good to myself.
 * Daniel: How long have you, um...?
 * Amanda: I started in jail.
 * Daniel: What were you arrested for?
 * Amanda: Possession. [Walks up a staircase]
 * Daniel: But I thought you said that...
 * Amanda: Maybe you should talk to the cop who arrested me.

 * Kerry: Look, I know how this guy works, okay? He's playing a game. Eric just needs to stay in it a little bit longer.
 * Rigg: [points at the clock which now reads 30:00] Take a look at the clock. You need to start thinking outside the box, or his son is gonna end up in one.

 * [Eric begins tearing apart and trashing John's files]
 * John: How will you get your conviction without all this evidence, Eric?
 * Eric Matthews: I don't need this shit to convict you.
 * John: So go ahead. Destroy it.
 * Eric Matthews: I will.
 * John: Destroy it all. Just know it will not save your son if you do.
 * Eric Matthews: You kill my son, I kill you.
 * John: Go ahead. Why wait? We both know the sort of person you are, sir. The sort of person who guns down an unarmed suspect. In fact, the sort of person who plants evidence in order to obtain a conviction. The sort of person whose wife leaves him and his son hates him.
 * Eric Matthews: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

 * Jonas: [laughs] You remind me of me. No matter what kind of fucked-up situation you're in, you always got to find yourself an enemy. You know what? I got enemies, man. Outside these fucking walls, bro. And they're looking for me. And if they don't find me, they're going after the ones closest to me. My family. You understand?
 * Xavier: No. I don't understand. It's just me, and that's the way I like it. Now, turn around.
 * Jonas: What?
 * Xavier: Turn... [Brandishes a knife] ...around.

 * [Eric awakens, chained in the bathroom from the first movie and discovers a tape. He starts it.]
 * Tape: [Amanda's Voice] Hello, Eric. You probably don't even remember me, but you changed my life once. You sent me to prison. I was guilty of a lot of things, but not the drug charge you framed me for. You wouldn't know the things you lose when you're locked away. The second time somebody changed my life, I was guilty.
 * [Flashback]
 * Tape: Hello, Amanda.
 * Tape: [Narrating] But my life was saved that day.
 * Daniel: You said you survived this, right?
 * Amanda: Yeah.
 * Tape: [Narrating] I found myself a father. A leader. A teacher.
 * John: You must meet death... in order to be reborn.
 * Amanda: He helped me.
 * [Present]
 * Tape: What is the cure for cancer, Eric?
 * [Flashback]
 * John: Those who don't appreciate life do not deserve life.
 * Tape: [Narrating] The cure for death itself? The answer... is immortality.
 * [Present]
 * [Eric realizes he is chained to a pipe]
 * Eric Matthews: Daniel!!
 * Tape: By creating a legacy, by living a life worth remembering, you become immortal. So now you find the tables are turned.
 * [Flashback]
 * Kerry: He asked for you!
 * Eric Matthews: What the fuck do you want?!
 * John: I told you.
 * Amanda: He wants us to survive this.
 * John: I want to play a game.
 * Amanda: You have to play by the fucking rules!
 * John: The rules are simple. All you have to do is sit here and talk to me.
 * Eric Matthews: What?
 * John: If you can do that long enough, you will find your son in a safe and secure state.
 * [Kerry finds Daniel in a safe]
 * Eric Matthews: What the fuck is that?
 * John: It's your son, Daniel. You remember him, don't you?
 * Daniel Matthews: My dad's a... he's a real hardass.
 * Tape: [Previous] I call you unworthy. Of the life that you've been given.
 * John: The knowledge of your son's impending death is causing to forgive all his sins. Why is that we're only willing to do that when a life is at stake?
 * Eric Matthews: DANIEL! [To John] I'm done listening to you.
 * John: Don't forget the rules.
 * Eric Matthews: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
 * Kerry: He's playing a game.
 * Eric Matthews: I don't want to talk to him. [To John] You're not saying shit!
 * John: We both know the sort of person you are. Not long to go now until your son is pissing-- [Eric hits him] I'll take you to the house.
 * Eric Matthews: [In the bathroom, reaching into the bathtub] Daniel?
 * [A figure in a pig mask injects him with something]
 * John: There's something I haven't told you, Eric.
 * [Amanda removes the pig mask]
 * Tape: [Narrating] It is I who will carry on John's work after he dies...
 * [Present]
 * Eric Matthews: DANIEL!
 * [Flashback]
 * John: So go ahead. Destroy it.
 * [Present]
 * Tape: ... and you...
 * Eric Matthews: [Reaching for his gun] Daniel!
 * Tape: ... are my first test subject. Now you are locked away. Helpless...
 * ''[Amanda appears in the doorway,]
 * Tape: ... and alone.
 * Eric Matthews: You fucking bitch.
 * Amanda: Game over.
 * [Amanda locks the door of the bathroom.]
 * Eric Matthews: I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! NO! NO! NO! [Screams fade away]

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

 * Anticipate charity by preventing poverty; assist the reduced fellow man, either by a considerable gift or a sum of money or by teaching him a trade or by putting him in the way of business so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity. This is the highest step and summit of charity's golden ladder.

 * No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.

 * One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.

 * The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.

Little Shop of Horrors (film)

Little Shop of Horrors is a 1986 American horror comedy musical film about a nerdy florist who finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.
 * Directed by Frank Oz. Written by Howard Ashman, based on his play and the 1960 film.

Don't feed the plants.taglines

Narrator

 * On the twenty-third day in the month of September, in an early year of a decade not too long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence. And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do, in the most seemingly innocent, and unlikely, of places...

Seymour

 * [singing] Poor! All my life I've been poor! I keep asking God what I'm for! [Mushnik glares at him the moment he stops work so he hastily resumes] And he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure! Sweep that floor, kid!" Oh I started life as an orphan, child of the street, here on Skid Row. He took me in, gave me a shelter, a bed, a crust of bread and a job... treats me like dirt. Calls me a slob, which I am. [he walks dejectedly along the streets with the passers-by as his backup singers]] So I live... downtown... [all: "downtown"] That's my home address. So I live. [all: "Downtown."] Where my life's a mess. So I live [all: "Downtown."] Where depression's just status quo. Down on Skid Row.... [wanders into an alley] Someone show my the way to get outta here, [beggars slowly appear from nowhere and climb the gateway at the end of the alley] Cos I'm constantly praying I'll get out of here, someone give me one shot, or I'll rot here.

 * Wait for me, Audrey. This is between me and the vegetable!

 * [singing about Mr. Mushnik] And he calls me a slob, which I am …

Audrey

 * [singing about her dream house] With a washer and a dryer, and an ironing machine…somewhere that's green.

Audrey II

 * [repeated line] Feed me!
 * I'm starving!
 * [asking Seymour what he wants] Money? Girls? One par-ticu-lar girl! How 'bout that Aaaaauuuudrey? Think it over! There must be someone you can 86 real quiet-like, and get me some LUNCH!!!
 * DOES THIS LOOK "INANIMATE" TO YOU, PUNK?! If I can talk and I can move, who's to say I can't do anything I want?!
 * [after Seymour deduces that Audrey II wants to take over the planet] No SHIT, Sherlock!
 * [Seymour says he won't feed the plant, due to the guilt] Tough titty. [Seymour then tells him to watch his language.] Aw, cut the crap. Bring on the meat!
 * [singing] I'm just a mean, green mother from outer space and I'm bad!

Dialogue

 * Seymour: The Audrey II is not a healthy girl.
 * Mr. Mushnik: Strictly between us, neither is the Audrey I.

 * Seymour: You see, sir, if you were to put a plant like this in the window, then maybe…
 * Mr. Mushnik: Maybe what? Maybe what! Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Just because you put a strange and interesting plant in the window, people don't suddenly…
 * Customer: Excuse me. I couldn't help noticing that strange and interesting plant. What is it?
 * Seymour: It's an Audrey…II!

 * Audrey: Seymour's first radio broadcast! I wanted to hear it so bad. I tried to be on time, but…
 * Mr. Mushnik: Don't tell me. You got tied up.
 * Audrey: No. Just handcuffed a little.

 * Audrey II: Feed me.
 * Seymour: Under no circumstances.
 * Audrey II: Feed me.
 * Seymour:I will not, so stop asking.
 * Audrey II:Feed me!
 * Seymour:No! No more! I can't take living with the guilt.
 * Audrey II:Tough titty.
 * Seymour: Watch your language.
 * Audrey II:Ah, cut the crap! Bring on the meat!
 * Seymour: I'll run to the corner, pick you up some nice ground round. How about that?
 * Audrey II: Don't do me no favors!
 * Seymour: Well?
 * Audrey II: Hmm…?
 * Seymour: It's my last offer. Yes or no?
 * Audrey II: You sure do drive a hard bargain.
 * Seymour: Done! Fine. Great. Don't think you're getting dessert!

 * Seymour: Every household in America. Thousands of you, eating. That's what you had planned all along, isn't it?!
 * Audrey II: [smugly] Noooooooooo shit, Sherlock!
 * Seymour: We're not talking about one hungry plant here. We're talking about world conquest!
 * Audrey II: And I wanna thank you!
 * Seymour: You won't get away with this! Your kind never does! [Audrey II laughs maniacally] I don't care what it takes, only one of us gets out of here alive!

 * Mr. Mushnik: Seymour, what is going on down there?
 * Seymour: Very little Mr. Mushnik!

 * Audrey II: [meekly] Feed me!
 * Seymour: I beg your pardon?
 * Audrey II: [gloomily] Feed me!
 * Seymour: Tuey! You talked! You opened up your - trap, your thing, you said--
 * Audrey II: [suddenly aggressive] FEED ME KRELBOURN! FEED ME NOW!
 * Seymour: I can't!
 * Audrey II: I'm starvin'!
 * Seymour: Look, maybe I can squeeze a little out of this one,
 * Audrey II: More, more, more, more, more!
 * Seymour: There isn't any more! Whaddya want me to do, slit my wrists?! [The plant sighs, almost saying "Well..."] Oh boy Look. I got an idea. I'll run down to the corner, and pick you up some nice chopped sirloin.
 * Audrey II: Must be blood!
 * Seymour: [creeped out] Tuey, that's disgusting.
 * Audrey II: Must be fresh!
 * Seymour: [covering his ears] I don't wanna hear this!
 * Audrey II: Feed me!
 * Seymour: Does it have to be human?
 * Audrey II: Feed me!
 * Seymour: Does it have to be mine?
 * Audrey II: Fee-eed me!
 * Seymour: Where am I supposed to get it?
 * Audrey II: [singing] Feed me, Seymour / Feed me all night long - That's right, boy! - You can do it! Feed me, Seymour / Feed me all night long / Ha ha ha ha ha! / Cause if you feed me, Seymour / I can grow up big and strong.

 * Audrey II: You think this's all a coincidence, baby? The sudden success around here? The press coverage?
 * Seymour: Look, you're a plant; an inanimate object! [Audrey II then pulls a chair up from under Seymour, bring him closer to the plant]
 * Audrey II: DOES THIS LOOK "INANIMATE" TO YOU, PUNK?! If I can talk, and I can move, who's to say I can't do anything I want?
 * Seymour: Like what?
 * Audrey II: Like deliver, pal! Like see you get everything your sick, greasy little heart desires! [singing] Would you like a Cadillac car?/ Or a guest shot on "Jack Parr"?/ How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?/ You gonna get it! If you want it, baby./ How would you like to be a big wheel?/ Dinin' out for every meal./ I'm the plant (that) can make it all real!/ You gonna get i-i-it../ Hey, I'm your genie, I'm your friend! I'm your willing slave.../ Take a chance, feed me, yeah./ You know the kind of eats, the kinda red hot treats, the kinda sticky-licky sweets I craa-aave, Oh!

About Little Shop of Horrors

 * Going back to the beginning, Howard and I were in David Geffen’s office and we both wanted to retain the original ending, with the plant winning and the key people dying, and David was against that. He said you can’t do that, but again he knew Howard and I wanted to, so David supported us. The film was completed two years later and we went to San Jose for the first preview and everyone was very excited about it. This was, I think, the most expensive film Warner Bros. had done at that time. For every musical number there was applause, they loved it, it was just fantastic…until we killed our two leads. And then the theater became a refrigerator, an ice box. It was awful and the cards were just awful. They were saying that they hated us killing them. You have to have a 55 percent “recommend” to really be released and we got a 13.

"I am not a Labor Leader"
This page describes Debs as "an American labor and political leader". And yet it quotes him as saying "I am not a Labor Leader; I do not want you to follow me or anyone else". Among radicals, he's not alone here. The anarchist Kropotkin preferred the term "initiator", not "leader". Should we consider an alternative label? --Las tortugas (talk) 21:09, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to Eugene V. Debs. --Antiquary 19:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

 * It is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it.

 * Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, cold and impassive as the granite foundations of a skyscraper. If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results.

 * The people can have anything they want. The trouble is, they do not want anything. At least they vote that way on election day.

Updated page to include "Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact..." along with a citation. -- Anonymous

Debs on voting
"It is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it," is probably a misquote, rather than spurious. In the speech, "Competition versus Cooperation," delivered at Central Music Hall, Chicago, on 29 Sept. 1900, Debs said, "It is infinitely better to vote for freedom and fail, than to vote for slavery and succeed."

 * I added and cited this quote. 173.228.106.67 01:33, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

The original reference appears to be a 1912 almanac printed by the Socialist Party with statements attributed to Debs, including: “I’d rather vote for what I want and not get it, than for what I don’t want and get it.” This probably doesn't meet Wikiquote standards for a precise quote. --Sentience (talk) 03:28, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Shneur Zalman of Liadi

Shneur Zalman of Liadi (or Reb Schneur Zalman or Baal HaTanya or Alter Rebbe ("Old Rebbe" in Yiddish) or The Rav) (September 4, 1745 – December 15, 1812) was an Orthodox rabbi and the founder and first Rebbe of Chabad Lubavitch, a branch of Hasidic Judaism.

 * "Tachlis Brias Olam Hazeh, Hu she'nisaivah Hakadosh Ba-ruch Hu Le'hios Lo Dirah B'tachtonim."-'The ultimate purpose of the creation of this physical world, is that G-d Desired to have a dwelling-place in the lower world.'

 * ולכן נמשלה התורה למים: מה מים יורדים ממקום גבוה למקום נמוך, כך התורה ירדה ממקום כבודה, שהיא רצונו וחכמתו יתברך, ואורייתא וקודשא בריך הוא כולא חד ולית מחשבה תפיסא ביה כלל. ומשם נסעה וירדה בסתר המדרגות ממדרגה למדרגה בהשתלשלות העולמות, עד שנתלבשה בדברים גשמיים ועניני עולם הזה, שהן רוב מצוות התורה ככולם והלכותיהן, ובצרופי אותיות גשמיות בדיו על הספר, עשרים וארבעה ספרים שבתורה נביאים וכתובים, כדי שתהא כל מחשבה תפיסא בהן, ואפילו בחינות דבור ומעשה שלמטה ממדרגת מחשבה תפיסא בהן ומתלבשת בהן.

 * Translation: And so the teaching (Torah) was likened to water: like water comes down from a high place to a low place, so the teaching descended from its honorable place, as it is His will and wisdom, and the light of Him that be blessed and thought cannot grasp it at all. From there it went in the secret stairway via the worlds, until it was dressed in material things and matters of this world, which are all the ordinants (mitzvot) and their ways, in combinations of material letters in ink on the book, twenty four books in the Tanakh, so thought will be able to comprehend it, and even speech and act, below the level of thought.

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 Turophile. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Turophile~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 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:00, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Doctor Breen
"...ancient stars colonized by sentient fungi. Gas giants, inhabited by vast meteorological intelligences, worlds stretched thin across the universe where dimensions intersect...Impossible to describe with our limited vocabulary."

I swear he says "worlds stretched thin across the membranes". I'll edit it, do it again if I'm wrong. Jetro 10:00, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's "membranes" too.

Does what Breen saying remind any of you of Lovecraft? I guess it was just the word fungi that did it, but would anyone agree this is worth noting?

Found the original game text files and changed it accordingly. 155.207.254.51 20:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

2/16/2006 Update
I noticed the banner at the top that said it needed revising, so I started taking it in a new direction. What do you guys think so far? Should I finish it up this way? SovietChicken 23:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Breencasts
I'm also taking a look at the Breencasts and I'll change them to be exactly the same as the original game text file. 155.207.254.51 20:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Done, I just left a few punctuation marks so that the text can be read more easily. 155.207.254.51 21:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Commentary
I would also like to suggest that we cut the commentary. It seems rather out of place. What do you think? 155.207.254.51 21:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

DoneStringtheory

The All-Knowing Vortigaunt
Just about everything it says can be heard from a regular Vortigaunt if you prod it enough. Are there any quotes just for the All-Knowing? If there are not, perhaps we should change it to simply 'Vortigaunts.' 24.15.167.167 15:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Resistance Soldiers
Where did that James thing come from?

 * Also, scripted lines should not be in the random, use-key provoking lines that soldiers say arbitrarily (such as Leon's line and warning Freeman about the striders)

Civil Protection/Combine Overwatch/NP Security
I came to this page looking for the spoken lines from these guys, and didn't find any, much to my dismay. Their communications can be difficult to work out by ear. Thus, reading them in text form could make recognising them audibly considerably easier.71.30.52.116 20:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been working to find some, too. Here's some that I've figured out:

"Pick up that can." Near the beginning of Point Insertion, a CP Officer decides to be a douche

"Five, four, three, two, one." Counting down a grenade's fuse, or near the beginning of Entanglement when they shoot out flares and count down when to sart attacking.

"Grenade!" Duh?

"Look out!" When close to a live grenade

"Shit!" I've heard a lot of snipers say this when a grenade lands in their lap

I'll try to figure out some more tonight.

Raikoh Minamoto 17:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

How about these?

"Help!" Obvious one, but mostly said when CP's are set on fire.

"Contact Confirm, Prosecuting" Whenever enemy combines see Gordon.

"Bouncer! Bouncer!" Just a different grenade warning. ("Bouncer???!!")

"Overwatch, advise: We have heavy resistance" Duh...

"Ready charges!" I believe this is said when Gordon and Barney is stuck in a Combine trap and the soldiers are cutting through the metal doors with lasers.

"We have free parasites!" When combines see headcrabs.

"Request medical!" When soldiers become injured.

"Officer down, I am 10-99! Repeat: I am 10-99!" When a CP realizes that one of his allies have died.

"Officer down! All units, code 3 to my 10-20!" Same as above.

"Suspect, prepare to recieve civil judgement!" Whenever you piss a CP off and he starts chasing you around trying to beat you up. Kinda funny in a way. (I mean, what kind of civil judgement is that? Is there no democracy in the world???)

"Outboard Nomad, re-activate perimiter restrictor and report. [static] Outboard Nomad, re-activate your perimiter restrictor and report. [more static] Nomad, get those restrictors back online: your sector shows active biotics!" -After Gordon shuts down a coastal thumper and clears one of the bunkers full of combine (during the coastal Nova Prospekt raid at night with antlions by his side) There are two othere bunker transmissions, but the other two were almost completely inaudible at the end.

"Warning: primary target is... uh, it... it's in, uh, command and control tactics with biotics. Repeat: primary target has tactical C&C of biotics." -Dunno where's this from. I got this from GCFScape. But it's obviously referring to the fact that Freeman has control over the antlions using bugbait. It's also interesting to see that combines can actually stutter.
 * First sentence is actually "Warning. Primary target is engaged in -- uh -- command and control tactics with biotics." 70.176.14.193 08:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Also, "Shit" isn't in HL2's source files for some reason. (???)

--Darthkillyou 00:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I just checked on that--turns out snipers use Metrocop voice files. "Shit.wav" exists indeed. Their lingo is pretty amusing, too. As Darthkillyou pointed out, they sometimes call grenades "bouncers". Here are a few more:

Antlion = Bug

Zombie = Necrotic

Headcrab = Parasitic, parasite, or "free parasitic"

Manhacks = Viscerators

Biotic = I'm not entirely sure. It could refer to anything non-Combine or anything non-Combine and non-human.

Outside of City 17/Nova Prospekt = Outland (usually used as a an adjective; e.g. "I've got an outland biotic in here")

Malignant = basically interchangeable with "hostile"

Feesh 23:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Zombies
Do you guys think we should post up what the Headcrab Zombies say? From what I read they are infact still alive after being infected with one.

I know they say these lines: Oh god, Oh god no, No, Why?, Why god, and they make crying noises.

Zbigniew Herbert

Zbigniew Herbert (29 October 1924 – 28 July 1998) was a Polish poet, playwright and essayist.

Quotes

 * And if the City falls and one survives he shall carry the City within on the roads of exile he shall be the City
 * Report from the Besieged City.

 * Jeśli tematem sztuki będzie dzbanek rozbity mała rozbita dusza z wielkim żalem nad sobą to co po nas zostanie będzie jak płacz kochanków w małym brudnym hotelu kiedy świtają tapety
 * if the subject of art will be a broken jug a small broken soul with a great self-pity what will remain of us will  be like tears of  lovers in a small dirty hotel when wallpapers dawn
 * Why the Classics.

 * Go where the others have gone, to the tenebrous limit for the golden fleece of void, your ultimate prize go upright among those who are on their knees among those turning their backs on and those fallen to dust.
 * Message of Mr. Cogito.

 * And do not forgive indeed it is beyond your power to forgive in the name of those betrayed at dawn

Ouida

Ouida (January 7, 1839 – January 25, 1908) was the pen name of the English novelist Maria Louise Ramé (although she preferred to be known as Marie Louise de la Ramée).

Quotes

 * Even of death Christianity has made a terror which was unknown to the gay calmness of the Pagan and the stoical repose of the Indian.
 * "Has Christianity Failed?", in the The North American Review (February 1891)

 * Take hope from the heart of man and you make him a beast of prey.
 * A Village Commune (1881)
 * Cited in: Pratiyogita Darpan , February 2009

Under Two Flags (1867)

 * It is the trifles of life that are its bores, after all. Most men can meet ruin calmly, for instance, or laugh when they lie in a ditch with their own knee-joint and their hunter's spine broken over the double post and rails: it is the mud that has choked up your horn just when you wanted to rally the pack; it's the whip who carries you off to a division just when you've sat down to your turbot; it's the ten seconds by which you miss the train; it's the dust that gets in your eyes as you go down to Epsom; it's the pretty little rose note that went by accident to your house instead of your club, and raised a storm from madame; it's the dog that always will run wild into the birds; it's the cook who always will season the white soup wrong—it is these that are the bores of life, and that try the temper of your philosophy.
 * Chapter I

Two Little Wooden Shoes (1874)

 * What use was it to argue with a little idiot like this? Indeed, peasants never do argue; they use abuse.
 * Chapter I

 * When one has not father, or mother, or brother, and all one's friends have barely bread enough for themselves, life cannot be very easy, nor its crusts very many at any time.
 * Chapter II

 * Brussels is a gay little city that lies as bright within its girdle of woodland as any butterfly that rests upon moss.
 * Chapter II

Syndicate Wars

Syndicate Wars is a video game created by Bullfrog Productions in 1996, and is the third title in the Syndicate Series.

The Book of Cataclysm

 * A hundred elephants can wreck the outer walls of a fortress. One diseased rat can kill all those inside.

 * A war refugee sought the Master. He said, "You are wise and serene. Teach me to escape the horrors of this world." And the Master blinded him with fire-irons.

 * All knowledge is stored somewhere. Be it in books, heads or deep under glaciers. And when we find it, we make it ours. Faith is bricks; knowledge is mortar.

 * Bravery will take you into the most dangerous of places. Overwhelming firepower will see you safely through them.

 * Even the salamander sometimes burns.

 * Faithful minds are not enough. Deliver unto us brains also.

 * Follow the more successful thief and steal his ideas.

 * He who lives in the eye of the storm is a mote in the eye of an angry god.

 * He who shouts loudest can only hear his own voice. Those with true knowledge listen to those with true faith. And those with closed ears never hear the swing of the reaper's blade.

 * "Here!" said the Master. "Build me a great tomb in this place." His apprentices did. It glittered in the sun. "Now go inside," said he. They entered. An earthquake then destroyed the tomb, burying those within. The Master smiled. "Even the faithful are not always chosen. This is called sacrifice."

 * In the darkest times, the true believer hones his combat skills.

 * Mark thine enemy, for all that separates the damned from the chosen is a dot of monochrome light, projected onto the back of a neck.

 * Not only will all eyes be on the leaders of men, but all combat sights as well.

 * Poor workers blame their tools. Good workers build better tools. The best workers get their tools to do the work for them.

 * Remember, the meek shall inherit nothing.

 * The apprentices asked the Master. "When shall we achieve immortality?" And the Master answered, "Not in this life."

 * The brave hide behind technology. The stupid hide from it. But the clever have technology, and hide it.

 * The courageous enter dark caves alone. The clever send in the courageous first. The cleverest wait behind the clever.

 * The Master has no need for money. But still he sits and counts it. As a meditation.

 * The Master told his pupils, "Forget being taught and concentrate on learning. When you're sure, question everything."

 * The non-believers climbed for days to confront the master in the mountains. "Where do you get your so-called faith?" they asked. "You brought it," the master replied. "You've all climbed so high."

 * The people stood like corn in the high fields and listened to the Master. As the reaper's blade scythed them all, the Master fell silent. The lesson would be learned by others.

 * The world shall turn and the human race shall pass. Everything begins anew. The faith has run its course and it is over.

 * There is pleasure in stealing the souls of machines.

 * To take one life is sin. To take a thousand is religion.

 * The Master held his palms aloft. "Behold my wounds," said He. The onlookers observed the cauterization and the sunlight that shone through His great hands. "Let there be pain."

 * These require citations to adequate sources before being placed into the main article.

 * I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.

 * If I were well behaved, I'd die of boredom.

 * (On seeing a former lover for the first time in years) I thought I told you to wait in the car.

 * I Was there in the South of France When Zelda Fitzgerald, poor darling, went off her head. She had gone into a flower shop and suddenly for her all the flowers had faces. Of course, some flowers, such as pansies, do have faces.

 * All my life I've been terrible at remembering people's names. I once introduced a friend of mine as Martini. Her name was actually Olive (on why she famously calls people "dahling".

 * The only reason I took [that part] was to fuck that divine Gary Cooper! (On why she left the London stage for Hollywood)

 * The less I behave like Whistler's mother the night before, the more I look like her the morning after. (In a retort to Dorothy Parker, who had quipped "Has Whistler's Mother left yet?" as a drunk Tallulah was escorted from the party the previous night)

 * It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.
 * They used to shoot her through gauze. You should shoot me through linoleum. (Referring to Shirley Temple)
 * (On why she called everyone "dahling"): Because all my life I've been terrible at remembering people's names. I once introduced a friend of mine as Martini. Her name was actually Olive.
 * Don't think I don't know who's been spreading gossip about me... After all the nice things I've said about that hag (Bette Davis). When I get hold of her, I'll tear out every hair of her mustache!
 * Well, I don't know, darling -- he's never sucked my cock. (When asked for her opinion on whether a male celebrity of the time was a homosexual.)

 * (Tallulah): " Funny, it doesn't smell like cum to me!"

 * Acting is a form of confusion.

Quotes about Bankhead

 * The only other actresses whose drawing power is as equally magnetic are Helen Hayes, Katharine Cornell, Lynn Fontanne... and Gertrude Lawrence. But of them all, Tallulah is the only vivid prima dona in the gusty tradition of eccentricity and crazy temperament. Compared with sedate Helen Hayes, sober Miss Cornell, quietly sophisticated Gertrude Lawrence and safely married Ms. Lunt, Tallulah is dangerous, daring, unpredictable, dynamic, whimsical, unconventional and quite utterly mad.

Retaining sourced quotes and variants
I just returned from an excursion a short while ago, and checked in on this page, and realized some notable and sourced quotes and notable variants of some had been removed, and I restored them. I might do a bit more, here, today, off and on, but I remain busy with many other things, so probably won't be here but maybe a few times in a few hours, but will probably source a few more quotes, or do so more thoroughly on a few. Sourced quotes AND variants of them should generally be RETAINED, unless there is clear consensus to remove them for some particular reasons. Normally, if they are sourced to published works, and yet there are credible reasons to consider them highly dubious, they can be moved to a "Disputed" section, with clear REASONS for doing so — and if there are highly credible evidence to regard them as definitely or almost certainly spurious, they can be moved to a "Misattributed" section — they should NOT be entirely removed simply because some editor does not like them, or personally regards them as unlikely, without definite evidence, and it can also OFTEN be important to retain VARIANTS (especially variant PUBLISHED translations of statements), even when they are apparently errors that differ from the actual original sources available, because often such variants are often searched for, and the correct forms are more likely to be found here, when the variants are also included, and any reasons for NOT giving them as much credence as some other forms can be provided. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 04:51, 31 January 2016 (UTC) + tweaks

Compliment
Man, whoever created and added episode by episode. Wow. Thank You Very Much! I LOVE GREY'S ANATOMY! Great Work!

I LOVE GREYS ANATOMY
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO WHOEVER ADDS QUOTES EVERY EPISODE!! <33

Split reverted, overquoting
I've reverted User:Cbrown1023's split of this article into individual seasons. I assume that the reason is was split was that the individual page was getting large. However, the reason that it was getting large is because of overquoting, not sheer number of episodes (as is the case with The Simpsons and Stargate SG-1, for example). As a general rule, no episode should have more than about 8 quotes; some of the ones here are up around 20. Too many quotes per episode, whether on one page or several, makes it more likely for the content to be considered a copyright violation, something that we must be careful to avoid. In this case, the best course of action for reducing the size of this page is to trim each episode down to only a few, pithy quotes. —LrdChaos (talk) 16:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've begun the process of trimming the quotes on this page -- I've gotten through the first season so far. ~ UDScott 17:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Season 2 is done. ~ UDScott 19:56, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This page needs to be watched, as some have tried to put back many of the quotes I cut - recent edit activity had the first two episodes back up to around 20 quotes per episode before I reverted the changes. We need to keep this at a reasonable level. ~ UDScott 01:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Season 3 is done. As of now, the page has a reasonable amount of quotes per episode, and does not represent a copyright violation. BUt it should be watched to prevent quote creep from occurring. ~ UDScott 16:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've had to add the checkcopyright tag back to this page - it is once again in a state of overquoting. ~ UDScott 17:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Limit on Quotations and Page Size (380kB now)

 * Should be 5 per episode, which as far as I can tell it is. The page size is now 380kB over 8 seasons.
 * Even IF the pages were split into individual seasons, they'd still be about 48 kB long, and I can see from previous discussion that splitting was unpopular (or seems to encourage overquoting).
 * Do you want me to split it anyway? Or should it be trimmed further? Soph (talk) 21:29, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I would recommend that you go ahead and split it into pages for the individual seasons - but we must remain vigilant so that the number of quotes do not start to creep up again (which has happened several times in the past). To that end, wWhen you do create the individual season pages, please also create a talk page for each and place the Quote limit tag - - on each to warn about remaining within limits. Thanks! ~ UDScott (talk) 00:15, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Split Complete
Seasons 2 and 3 are both still very big (100k each) even though, as far as I can see, they both conform to 5 quotes or less per episode. I think part of the problem is:
 * a) The sheer number of episodes.
 * b) The quotes themselves are very long quotes (quotes should aim to be about 250 words or less).

Please remember to observe fair use policy to avoid breaching copyright.
Soph (talk) 02:51, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

 * As with your work on other pages - great work once again on making this split. Thanks! ~ UDScott (talk) 13:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Meredith's Voiceovers
I propose a new page for Merediths voiceovers; mostly because they take up 2/5 quotes per episode, and also personally because they're always much better quotes than the rest of the episodes. Anyone else agree or am I being weird? Soph (talk) 03:09, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * My opinion is that that might be a bit much. I would rather keep them with the episodes as they are. ~ UDScott (talk) 13:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Not weird, but probably not a good idea. Forking multiple pages for the same production makes it difficult to manage the limits on quotations in aggregate. See also Fictional characters and the discussion behind it. If the soliloquies are the best part then that is the part to quote, and forget the less quotable bits. ~ Ningauble (talk) 13:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
