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

Talk:King of the Hill

Okay I have made drastic changes to this Wikiquote.
I have started this page in the right track. All improvements are helpful. This page was very unorganized when I came to it. After I finish this I want to clean up and improve the Dumb and Dumber one. If anyone wants to join forces drop me a line. --Guitarist6987876 03:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I added the "I am inducing vomit" quote. Man, my sister loves that one. Anyone know the exact episode it's from?

I think the quote "there better be a naked cheerleader under your bed" isn't correct. I am pretty sure bobby didnt have a cheerleaders uniform, but instead, threw something under the bed suspiciously. I am not sure enough to edit it though. Confirmation would be great.

 * The "I Am Inducing Vomit" is from "High Anxiety" (Second part of a story arc of who shot Debby Grund), after Hank realizes he smoked a joint. The "Naked Cheerleader" is rather accurate... I don't have the actual episode, but I strongly recall that scene being used as a commercial spot a couple years ago.  --Ahanix1989

I really like a qoute by Dale Gribble in the episode that they all get put into an insane asylum. He says something to the effect that people are allergic to peanuts because peanuts are tired of being eaten, so they're fighting back. If anyone could possibly get what episode that was, it would be great.-NotASurfer

Ive added two quotes by Dale, one about about peanut allergies, and the other to his turtle. NotASurfer 06:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "...which is why so many people are allergic to peanuts. The peanuts are emitting toxins as an evolutionary defense mechanism. They're tired of being eaten and now they're fightin' back!" is from Naked Ambition, Season 4, Episode 15.  Without commercials, it's found between 10min 3sec and 10min 15sec.-NevynTheNomad

More changes
In line with Guitarist6987876's work, I've made many changes to this page, with the aide of my Media Center PC, Firefox's spellchecker, and my basic English skills (High school English classes for the win!). Some quotes were removed for... not being quotes. Examples: Bobby Hill: "Okay". Bill: "Now, Hank". Others were fixed to the actual dialog, and still more were moved. I took repeated lines/catchphrases (Wingo!, I'm gonna kick your ass) and put them at the top of each respective character's list (Hank should have his start with asskicking, not grass-apologizing).

Questions, comments, criticism, death threats? Post them. Ahanix1989 01:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

i just watched the Hank's Back epp. of KOTH, and there was a dale gribble quote about how the orfans who use to slave for disney land later became the ny yankees. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THE EXACT QUOTE OR A SOUND BITE?

Thanks for adding all of this stuff. This is guitarist6987876. I forgot my password, but it is cool that someone took up where I left off.

Overhaul 2.0
Okay, I spent time with this article and attempted to get it to conform with the tv show template. However, as you can tell, there is still a plethora of orphaned quotes. Help as much as you can. If you see a quote and know its eppy, put it in its proper place. Being bold and all that.TheTito 07:59, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

 * "When in doubt, stare at your feet."
 * I spent three months on a small island one spring studying Western Gull breeding behavior—most of it spent in a cramped bird blind writing cryptic notes on who fucked whom, and as well as on everything else they (usually) did when they weren't procreating. Every once in awhile a seagull will face it's head down as if it was staring at their large webbed feet. There is probably a much better explanation for the behavior, but I like mine.

Charles Manson

Charles Milles Manson (12 November 1934 – 19 November 2017) was an American criminal who led the "Manson Family", cult members of a quasi-commune, in late-1960s California. He was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder in the cases which became known as the Tate–LaBianca murders carried out under his instruction.

Quotes

 * We're all our own prisons, we are each all our own wardens and we do our own time. I can't judge anyone else. What other people do is not really my affair unless they approach me with it. Prison's in your mind. Can't you see I'm free?
 * Trial testimony (November 19, 1970)

 * Rubin, I am not of your world. I've spent all my life in prison. When I was a child, I was an orphan and too ugly to be adopted. Now I am too beautiful to be set free.
 * As quoted by Jerry Rubin in recounting his visit with Manson in We Are Everywhere (1971)

 * A lot of you young people, even though you go through college, you still don't understand that courtroom. That courtroom is the court of the kings and lords of the world. We as human beings can invoke the ground here called the United States of America. And the reason our system has perpetuated in such a way is because all the powers of Europe and England and monarchies and all those big people; we have come over here and started another world where each man in the United States has that power because he has that courtroom. That courtroom belongs to every human being in the United States. And if you take that courtroom away from one human being, you're taking that courtroom away from all human beings. Then what follows is you got kings and queens of yesterday – they're gonna come and play croquet with your heads. They're gonna take your courtrooms. They're gonna take your money and they're gonna take your country. They're gonna take your resources. They're gonna rip you off in every way you can think of because you didn't give your own children the benefit of the courtroom that your fathers fought in battles and died for.
 * Interview with KALX radio at Vacaville

 * Will of God... whatever you wanna call it... you call it Jesus, call it Mohammed, call it goobybob, call it nuclear mind, call it blow the world up, call it your heart. Whatever you wanna call it, it's still music to me. It's there. It's the will of life.
 * Interview by Geraldo Rivera (1981)

 * Pain's not bad. It's good. It teaches you things. Like when you put your hand in fire: Ow! You know not to do that again.
 * Charles Manson's first prison interview by 60 Minutes Australia (1981)

 * Money is a game. It's only real to the people who work for it. It's a monopoly game. It's a game of paper. It's all on paper.
 * Interview by Penny Daniels (1989)

 * I've been 15 years in the nut ward for trying to stop the trees from being cut down, from trying to rearrange the lifestyle of a bunch of people who don't want to change. But they're gonna change because a cold wind is blowing. You're gonna change or else there's going to be no life left on the planet Earth.
 * Interview by Penny Daniels (1989)

 * We use the word God. God hooks all the other words up. I'm the pope. I'm ten times the pope. I'm fifty times the pope. But I'm the pope in the hills and in the mountains.
 * Interview by Penny Daniels (1989)

 * So how do you communicate to a whole group of people? You stand up and take the worst fear symbol [ swastika] and say "There, now I've got your fear. Now I've got your fear." And your fear is your power and your power is your control. I'm your king of this whole planet. I'm gonna rule this whole world.
 * Interview by Penny Daniels (1989)

 * Who do you think I am, girl? If you could pick all the words of the vocabulary that your mother taught you, who do you think I am? And this is only a couple hours, can you imagine what it would be like a couple days with me? I live a hundred years a day.
 * Interview by Penny Daniels (1989)

 * You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays, everybody's crazy.
 * Interview by Diane Sawyer (1994)

 * If you are gonna do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.
 * Interview by Diane Sawyer (1994)

 * I wanna say this to every man that has a mind, to all the intelligent life forms that exist on this planet Earth. I wish the British would say this to the Scottish Rites and the Masons and all the people with minds who have degrees of knowledge, and who are aware of courts, laws, United Nations, governments. In the 40s, we had a war, and all of our economies went towards this war effort. The war ended on one level, but we wouldn't let it end on the other levels. We kept buying and selling this war. I'm not locked in the penitentiary for crimes, I'm locked in the Second World War. I'm locked in the Second World War with this decision to bring to the World Court - there must be a One World Court, or we're all gonna be devoured by crime. Crime, and the definition of crime comes from Nuremberg, when the judges decided that they wanted to call Second World War a crime. Honor and war is not a crime. Crime is bad. When you go to war and you're a soldier, and you fight for your God and your country, that's not criminal. That's honorable. That's what you must do to be a man. If you don't fight for your God and your country, you're not worth anything. If you have no honor, then you're not worth petty's pigs. Truth is, we've got to overturn this decision that you made in the Second World War, or the Second World War will never end. Degrees of the war was written in Switzerland, in Geneva, at conferences that were made by the men at the tables, clearly stated that anyone in uniform would be given the respect of their rank and their uniforms. Then when the United States and got all the Germans in handcuffs, they started breaking their own rules. And they've been breaking their own rules ever since. War is not a crime, but if you judge war as a crime in a court room, then turn around: If 2 + 3 = 5, and 3 + 2 = 5; if you say war is a crime, then crime becomes your war. I am, by all standards, a prisoner of war. I've been a prisoner of war since 1944 in Juvenile Hall, for setting a school building on fire in Indianapolis, Indiana. I've been locked up 45 years trying to figure out why I got to be a criminal. It matters not whether I want to be; you've got to keep criminals going to keep the war going because that's your economy, your whole economy is based on the war. You've got to get your dollar bills off the war, you've got your silver market sterling off of the war, you've got to take your gold and your diamonds off of the war - You've got to overturn that decision, that hung 6000 men by the neck. You killed 6000 soldiers for obeying orders. It's wrong. And the world has got to accept that's wrong. When you accept you're wrong and you say you're sorry for all the things you've done, then that will be a note on that court and we'll have some harmony going on this planet Earth, now.
 * Interview with Bill Murphy (1994)

 * I don't want to take my time going to work. I got a motorcycle and a sleeping bag and 10 or 15 girls. What the hell I want to go off and go to work for? Work for what? Money? I've got all the money in the world. I'm the king, man! I run the underworld, guy! I decide who does what and where they do it at! What am I gonna run around and act like I'm some teeny-bopper somewhere for somebody else's money? I make the money, man. I roll the nickels. The game is mine! I deal the cards.
 * Interview

 * Nobody. I'm nobody. I'm a tramp, a bum, a hobo. I'm a boxcar and a jug of wine. And a straight razor if you get too close to me.
 * Interview

 * I was so smart when I was a kid that I learnt that I was dumb fast.
 * Interview on the album All the Way Alive (2003)

 * Progress? There's no such thing as progress. There's only change. You dig a hole in the ground, you build up a city, and you fight a war, and you call it progress?
 * Interview track from Charles Manson Sings (2006)

 * As long as there's hate in your heart, there'll be hate in the world. You can't fight for peace and you cannot capture freedom.
 * Interview track from Charles Manson Sings (2006)

 * Look down at me and you see a fool; look up at me and you see a god; look straight at me and you see yourself.
 * As quoted in 101 People You Won't Meet in Heaven: The Twisted Achievements of the Most Brutal and Sadistic Individuals the World Has Ever Known (2007) by Michael Powell, p. 148

Rolling Stone interview (June 1970)

 * If I had a desire, it would be to be free from desire.

 * They're looking for something dirty in everything, and if you're looking for something, you'll find it. You have to put up some kind of face for them, and that's the only face they understand.

 * A baby is born into this world in a state of fear. Total paranoia and awareness. He sees the world with eyes not used yet. As he grows up, his parents lay all this stuff on him. They tell him, when they should be letting him tell them. Let the children lead you.

 * Anything you see in me is in you. If you want to see a vicious killer, that's who you'll see, do you understand that? If you see me as your brother, that's what I'll be. It all depends on how much love you have. I am you, and when you can admit that, you will be free. I am just a mirror.

 * I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.

 * Have you ever seen the coyote in the desert? Watching, tuned in, completely aware. Christ on the cross, the coyote in the desert — it’s the same thing, man. The coyote is beautiful. He moves through the desert delicately, aware of everything, looking around. He hears every sound, smells every smell, sees everything that moves. He’s in a state of total paranoia, and total paranoia is total awareness.

 * Death is psychosomatic.

NBC interview (1987)

 * Interview by Heidi Schulman

 * Maybe I should have killed four, five hundred people. Then I would've felt better. Then I would've felt like I really offered society something.

 * If I wanted to kill somebody, I'd take this book and beat you to death with it, and I wouldn't feel a thing.

 * Do you feel blame? Are you mad? Uh, do you feel like wolf kabob Roth vantage? Gefrannis booj pooch boo jujube; bear-ramage. Jigiji geeji geeja geeble Google. Begep flagaggle vaggle veditch-waggle bagga? [ph.]

 * I lived in Hollywood and I had all that, the Rolls Royce and the Ferrari and the pad in Beverly Hills. I had the surf board and the Beach Boys and the bishkis and the Neil Diamond and the ramskam and the Jimmy shriffen [ph.] and the Elvis Presley's best of bestlies and all them guys. The Deana Martins and the Nancy Sinatras and the cops and sovereigns, "Will you do it to me? I hear you do it good honey" and all that kind of "Will you come up to my house later?" So I went through all that and I seen that was a bigger prison than the one I just got out of and I really didn't care to go back in prison. See, prison doesn't begin and end at the gate. Prison is in the mind. It's locked in one world that's dead and dying, or it's open to a world that's free and alive.

 * I've never killed anyone. I don't need to kill anyone. I think it. I have it here. [points to head]

 * There's nothing wrong with being incompetent. It just means you don't have to do as much.

 * Believe me, if I started murdering people, there'd be none of you left.

 * I'm a hobo a bum, a boxcar and a jug of wine, interview.

Diane Sawyer interview (ABC, 1993)

 * Clip (YouTube)

 * [Y]ou know, it's like you think the second world war is over ... [the] second world war is not over ... d'you understand what i'm telling you ... th'second world war is not over

You got your rings, you think I don't understand your blue rings and your yellow (deliberate garbled speech) ... you think you're anything [deliberate garbled speech] ... yeah yeah yeah yeah ... yeah and then behind that, then you know there's another (deliberately mumbles & fades off)

 * [W]e'll hold you on the table, and we'll deal this hand to you - hey you got a hippie cult leader - i'm not a hippie cult leader, I never was a hippie, i don't know what a hippie was man ...

 * I see blood in here every day, every day someone's getting shot, someone's getting cut, someone's getting beat ... i've lived in that all my life woman, that don't wrinkle up my forehead ... you can pile 100 dead bodies up in front of my cell and it don't set me to do nothing ...

 * Changed? I was a changed man when I got out last time, I learned ... I learned ... I learned my lesson well ...

 * I don't exist in your world, i'm only what is ... what it is! It is what it is! ... Ten-hut!

Quotes about Manson

 * Though movies (Taxi Driver for John Hinckley Jr., would-be assassin of Ronald Reagan), books (The Catcher in the Rye for Mark David Chapman, John Lennon’s murderer) and songs (Helter Skelter” for Tate-LaBianca murders mastermind Charles Manson) may articulate specific criminals acts, they don’t inspire the person’s desire for violence. Science has proven that in numerous studies. It’s tempting to blame movies, video games and rap music because they often express humanity’s worst impulses, but impulses are not actions for most of us. And for the mentally ill seeking violence, anything can set them off. Alek Minassian, the self-described incel (involuntary celibate) who deliberately drove his van into a crowd in Toronto in 2018, killing 10 people, said he was motivated by his resentment toward women for having sexually rejected him in favor of giving “their love and affection to obnoxious brutes.” Should we then demand that studios producing romantic comedies and publishers of romance novels be shamed into contributing to anti-incel causes? The 2017 Las Vegas shooter killed 59 and injured 851 during a country music festival. Should country music bear some responsibility?
 * Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, “Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Why the 'Joker' Gun Violence Protests Miss the Mark”, Kareem on Hollywood & Politics, The Hollywood Reporter, (10/2/2019).

 * I don't believe you're leaving 'cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream.
 * Tori Amos, in the lyrics of the song "Tear in Your Hand" from Little Earthquakes (1991)

 * Charlie was always preaching love. Charlie had no idea what love was. Charlie was so far from love it wasn't even funny. Death is Charlie's trip. It really is.
 * Testimony of Paul Watkins, as quoted in Helter Skelter : The True Story of the Manson Murders (1974) by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry, p. 379

 * Let's clap our hands for the president and Jesus Christ and did I mention Charlie Manson and everybody else, who was nice.
 * Daron Malakian in the song of 3005.

 * Charles Manson was a bloody aberration in a decade that preached peace and love. A perverted and pathological fantasist, he used his devious powers of manipulation to snare others into his depraved web of hatred and violence, attracting a small band of twisted devotees who were prepared to commit cold-blooded murder on his command.
 * Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women (2009), p. 345

 * In appearance a typical product of the 1960s hippie revolution, Manson's warped and sadistic mind was the complete antithesis of the ideals behind the so-called 'Summer of Love'. Tapping into the fears and prejudices of contemporary America, he harnessed savage bigotry and drug-fuelled decadence to play out his perverted fantasies.
 * Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women (2009), p. 348

 * Here is a man who was guilty, directly or indirectly, of eight murders without reason. Here is a man, yet who as far as the coverage was concerned, appeared to be rather a glamorous figure, a glamorous figure to the young people whom he had brought into his operations.
 * Richard Nixon, remarks before a meeting with Law Enforcement Assistance Administration personnel (3 August 1970)

 * If Manson lived 2,000 years ago, we might have churches worshiping him now. So it was easy for me to imagine a completely fraudulent scamming huckster named Jesus.
 * Aron Ra, "Jesus never existed", Patheos (November 3, 2015)

 * While I was working on Downward Spiral, I was living in the house where Sharon Tate was killed. Then one day I met her sister. It was a random thing, just a brief encounter. And she said: "Are you exploiting my sister's death by living in her house?" For the first time, the whole thing kind of slapped me in the face. I said, "No, it's just sort of my own interest in American folklore. I'm in this place where a weird part of history occurred." I guess it never really struck me before, but it did then. She lost her sister from a senseless, ignorant situation that I don't want to support. When she was talking to me, I realized for the first time, "What if it was my sister?" I went home and cried that night. It made me see there's another side to things, you know?
 * Trent Reznor, on his residency at 10050 Cielo Drive, as quoted in Rolling Stone (6 March 1997)

 * Overdo it, and our schizotypalism in the Western religious setting is what we call a "cult," and there you are in the realm of a Charles Manson or a David Koresh or a Jim Jones. You can only do post-hoc forensic psychiatry on Koresh and Jones, but Charles Manson is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. But get it just right, and people are gonna get the day off from work on your birthday for millennia to come.
 * Robert Sapolsky, "Emperor Has No Clothes Award" acceptance speech at the Freedom From Religion Foundation convention, San Diego (23 November 2003), Excerpt published as "Belief and Biology" in Freethought Today Vol. 20 No. 3 (April 2003)

Boomtown (2002 TV series)

Boomtown (2002–2003) was a television show that depicted crime in Los Angeles from the very different perspectives of the four groups most intimately involved in the pursuit of justice -- the police, the citizens, the politicians, and the media -- and artfully illustrated how they interconnect.

Pilot [1.1]

 * Elderly black man: [referring to the L.A. River] Not quite the Ganges, is it? Not really a river anymore. Used to flood like a son of a bitch when I was a boy. They paved it all up in the '50s. London's got the Thames, Paris got the Seine. Vienna's got the Blue Danube. L.A.'s got a...concrete drainage ditch. It's all we've got. It'll have to do.

 * Andrea: Why are we here?
 * David: We're here Andrea because someone was shot.
 * Andrea: Given that that happens every day in the city, why are we all here for this one?
 * David: Because this happens every day in this city. I didn't see a crowd of reporters at 163 and Florence two days ago when Conchita Escovito was killed by a stray bullet while she sitting at her kitchen table feeding her baby girl. You're damn right I had my assistant call your editors and news directors because I knew that me being here could get you here. Now, look. I don't blame you because you don't go to the scene of every shooting. When something happens every day, it stops being news. I'm no saint above this myself. The only reason I knew those two names I just mentioned is because they're ongoing cases. You ask me who was murdered on this day six months ago? I wouldn't know. Not their names, anyway. I tend not to forget the faces.

 * Boss: [referring to David] What do you think of him?
 * Andrea: I don't ...think of him. He's a politician.
 * Boss: He seems real to me.
 * Andrea: Yeah, well, you know what they say about politicians. The key to success is sincerity. Once they learn that, they've got it made.

 * Ray: [to Tom, referring to Joel] What, are you in love with the guy?
 * Tom: Shut up.
 * Ray: I'm serious. The way you're looking at him. What's your problem with him?
 * Tom: Everything comes easy to him -- sailing through The Academy and making detective.
 * Ray: Yeah, I'm tired of good things happening to the good. It's high time we celebrated mediocrity. Just let go of that crap.
 * Tom: Yeah, like you?
 * Ray: My situation is a little different. He thinks I'm soiled. Spend five years in The Heights, go fishing with a guy, you go to his kid's birthday parties, ipso facto you're dirty. Guilt by association, that's all it is. Nothing I'd like better than to do a dance in a dark stairwell with that self-righteous son of a bitch. I don't let that show. I smile, I make nice, I let him think I'm his best friend in the world.

 * Mr. La Fontaine: I've been trying to think of a prayer, but I'm coming up blank. It's been a long time. You, you, got any?
 * Joel: No, no, I'm all out.
 * Mr. La Fontaine: How about you? Prayer?
 * Fearless: I don't have any prayers, but I do have a story.
 * Mr. La Fontaine: Okay.
 * Fearless: There was this wave, way out on the ocean. And he was just racing along having a great time -- and just sunlight glinting, spray just flying -- until one day he looked ahead, and he saw wave after wave in front of him crashing on the beach, and he got scared. And this older wave in front of him said, 'I know exactly what your problem is. You've been having so much fun being a wave, that you forgot you're really just part of the ocean.'
 * Mr. La Fontaine: I like that. Part of the ocean. Okay. [pours his grandson's ashes into the river] River, take my grandson home.

Possession [1.2]

 * Operator: Hello, this is the operator. Was anyone shot at your home? Okay, thank you, have a nice day. Hello, sir, are you dead? No? Is the lady of the house dead? Is the person that handles your long-distance provider dead?

 * David: Let me tell you why I'm here. The police asked me if there was any legal reason I could find to compel you to help them.  Trouble is, I couldn't find a reason.
 * Mike: That's exactly what I told them.
 * David: They could get you a search warrant.
 * Mike: Search warrant? To search what, my brain?  I have nothing written down.
 * David: Even then, it would be too late, the guy's wife's gonna be dead in, what, an hour and a half?
 * Mike: Look, I don't want any harm coming to any one, but my business depends upon discretion, who attends my parties must remain my secret, or I'm out of business.
 * David: No, I understand your position. Now, I want you to understand mine.  As I said, the police think I'm in here working up some kind of legal strategy to force you to give them the information that they need.  But that's not why I'm here.  The reason I'm here is, I'm gonna ask you a favor.
 * Mike: I wish I could.
 * David: Shhh. I think you're gonna want to hear this.  As a kid, growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, it's this tough little suburb just outside Boston.  My father had the title of Supervisor of Public Works.  But that's not what he did.  Wanna know what he did?  He fixed things.  People of power needed things to be done, they called ol' Jackie boy, and let me tell you, he got things done.  Now, my father taught me lots of things, lot of things.  One of the things he did teach me was how to hurt someone without leaving any bruises.  We're talking excruciating pain without leaving any marks.  You know how he did it?  Went for the internal organs.  Let me show you how he did it.  Here Mike, could you hold this for me?
 * [David hands the man his jacket.]
 * David: Thanks. What he'd do is that you wanna go for the spleen.  You see, right underneath the rib cage.
 * [David punches the wall.]
 * David: Or you then maybe one in the liver.
 * [He punches the wall again.]
 * David: One of his favorites was going for the kidney, cause believe me, I know, was going for the kidney and--
 * [He punches the wall a third time, slamming his fist right through the drywall.]
 * David: One good kidney shot and you're pissin' blood for a month. So the favor I'm gonna ask is really quite simple.  Don't help the police.  Don't tell them who was at your party last night.  Don't help them stop a guy from killing his wife.  Just don't.  Cause let me tell ya, I'm not in a good mood today, and there is nothing I'd rather do than beat that supercillious look off of your face.  You get me?

 * Rental Agent: There are stains on the throw rug in the upstairs bathroom.
 * Ivan: I'm sure there are.
 * Rental Agent: What are they?
 * Ivan: What do you think?
 * Rental Agent: That's disgusting.
 * [Joel and Fearless enter]
 * Rental Agent: [to Joel and Fearless] Yes?
 * Joel: L.A.P.D.
 * Rental Agent: What do you want?
 * Ivan: It's probably about the snuff film we shot in the basement. Wait til you see those stains.
 * Rental Agent: What?!
 * Ivan: I'm kidding! I'm just kidding.  You detectives know I'm kidding, don't you?
 * Joel: Yeah, yeah, looks like you had some party here last night.
 * [Ivan makes a call]
 * Ivan: [on phone] Jared, it's Ivan. How are you?  Well, I'm here at the Bolaby house and two detectives from the L.A.P.D. have come to visit. [to Fearless] My lawyer would like to have a word.
 * Joel: We don't wanna speak to him.
 * Ivan: [on phone] Yes, okay. Well I can assure you that my party was fully permitted.  All my parties are, I'm scrupulous in that regard.  We've had people around here try to shut us down on dozens of occasions, and each time I've come out smelling like a rose.
 * Joel: Excuse me.
 * Fearless: So what exactly happens at your parties?
 * Ivan: I provide the very best in exotic private dancing entertainment for a select clientele.
 * Joel: Private strip shows for rich people.
 * Ivan: How very to the point. Lest you concern yourselves, there are no drugs, the girls are all over 21 and there's no sex.  Just the illusion of sex.  The promise of sex, sex is in the very air, but no sex per se.
 * Fearless: We need to know who was at your party last night.
 * Ivan: I'm afraid I can't help you with that.
 * [Joel gestures for the phone.]
 * Ivan: [on phone] Ah, one of them does want to talk to you.
 * Joel: [on phone] Yes, you can tell your client we're not here about permits. We're here because someone who came to his party last night was murdered this morning.  And if we don't find the murderer within two hours, your client is going to be facing obstruction, interfering in an official investigation, and aiding in the commission of a homicide.  Have you got him a permit for any of that?
 * [Ivan listens to his lawyer on the phone.]
 * Ivan: Yes. [He hangs up] My lawyer says, to get a warrant.
 * Joel: Listen to me you son-of-a-bitch, a woman is going to be murdered.

 * Joel: That call's getting better and better. Vanessa Griggs, we have some good news and some bad news.  The bad news is, your husband was murdered by some guy that you dance for, and now he wants to kill you too.  The good news is, he's also the guy in the car chase on TV.

 * Luis: One thing I do not understand. I know I stole the truck, my mission from God notwithstanding. But why were there so many police chasing me? It's not like I killed someone. Whose truck did I steal?

All Hallows Eve [1.5]

 * Tom: C'mon. I'm sweatin' like a Backstreet Boy in a holding cell.

The David McNorris Show [1.9]

 * Marian: But you see David, there's no room for supporting roles in a one man show.

Execution [1.14]

 * Little: What are you gonna do?
 * David: What I do best.
 * Little: You gonna have sex with him?
 * David: Wow. Thank you.
 * Little: Sure. What are you going to do?
 * David: Make a closing argument.

Haystack [2.4]

 * Detective Katherine Pierce: You blame yourself for this?
 * David: I'm Irish-Catholic, detective, I blame myself when it rains.

The Big Picture [2.6]

 * Tom: McNorris, I stood two feet away from that girl. I did nothing. You have no idea what that's like.
 * David: You're right. I don't. I have no idea what it's like to be a cop. But I do know my fair share about one thing: guilt. Wallowing in it. Numbing myself in it. Getting in knock-down, drag-out brawls with it. So, I can tell you this much: it never ends up being a fair fight. Careful, Tom.

Grand Theft Auto III

Grand Theft Auto III (2001) is a game in the Grand Theft Auto series by Rockstar Games.

Dialogue

 * Newscaster [Intro]: Liberty City is in shock today, as the police and Emergency Services deal with the aftermath of a devastating attack on a police convoy this morning. As yet, no details have been released about the prisoners being transferred in the convoy, and no group has claimed responsibility. The convoy left police headquarters early this morning for a routine transfer of felons to the Liberty Penitentiary. The attack took place on the Callahan Bridge, leaving few witnesses, and the bridge itself severely damaged. Some of the convicts are thought to have perished in the explosion that followed the initial attack. Revelations as to the professionalism of the attack struck police hours afterward, when identification of the missing felons were further hampered by an attack by computer hackers on police headquarter databases. With the Porter Tunnel project falling behind schedule, this disaster leaves Portland isolated from the rest of the city.

 * Colombian Cartel member: Come on! Señor dickhead! It's no problem to kill you! You gonna be sorry. A'right, a'right. Get lost.

 * Toni: You did good back there kid, real good. C'mon let's introduce you to the Don.
 * Salvatore: Hey Luigi!
 * Luigi: Oh, my girls have been missing you so much. Salvatore, you've been away too long.
 * Salvatore: You tell them, when this unfortunate business has been taken care of, we'll go down to the club and celebrate. There is my boy.
 * Joey: Hi, Pop!
 * Salvatore: Have you got yourself a good woman yet? You know your Momma, god bless her soul would be turning over in her grave, if she ever saw you without a wife.
 * Joey: I know, I'm working on it.
 * Salvatore: TONI! How is your Momma? She's a great woman, you know! Strong, firenze.
 * Toni Cipriani: She's good... fine.
 * Salvatore: Terrific, Terrific. Now listen you guys, you go inside while I talk to our new friend here. I have nothing but good things for you, my boy...

 * Miguel: [during the mission, Cutting The Grass, after following Curly Bob, he gets out of his taxi to go meet up with Miguel and Catalina at the docks in Portland Harbor] Here comes our little friend, Mr. Big Mouth himself.
 * Catalina: Were you followed? You know what goes on here is our little secret, amigo.
 * Curly Bob: No, no, I-I wasn't followed. [sniffing] You got my stuff?
 * Catalina: Here's your SPANK, squealer. Now talk!
 * Curly Bob: Okay, so the Leone's are fighting wars on two fronts. [sniffing] They're in a turf war with the Triads with no sign of either side giving up. Meanwhile, Joey Leone has stirred up some bad blood with the Forellis. Every day they're losing men and influence in the city. [sniffing] Salvatore is becoming dangerous and paranoid. [sniffing] He suspects everybody and everything.
 * Catalina: [chuckles] With loyalty like yours, what has he possibly got to worry about?
 * [she and Miguel leave Curly, then Claude shows up and kills him]

 * Asuka Kasen: [for the mission, Two-Faced Tanner] Maria and I have gone shopping. Our source in the police has informed us that one of our drivers is a strangely animated undercover cop! He's more or less useless out of his car, so we've tagged it with a tracer. Make him bleed!

 * Lazlow Jones: What? Hanging out with loads of naked chicks? I mean I see the fun in it, but... I just think that clothes have distinct advantages. Like... like not accidentally cooking yourself, or... or when you're working on a building.
 * Naked Man on Chatterbox: We're not swingers! It's not about sex! It's about being one with the world.

 * Lazlow Jones: Belief in what, I mean, look Jeff, I... I admire your passion, really I do, but... what will people be marching for? Wh... what's your rally about?
 * Jeff: It's about justice, Mr. Low! A chance to shine and make a difference. [...] Look... look, do you wanna help or not?
 * Lazlow Jones: I don't know what I'm helping!
 * Jeff: You're helping America! What kind of patriot are you? It's a rally!
 * Lazlow Jones: You don't know what it's for, do you?
 * Jeff: It's for hope. Please come, everybody! It'll be real good!
 * Lazlow Jones: Alright, you fight the power, brother!

 * Momma Cipriani: Toni's off making people bleed, or trying to. He'll never be as tough as his Pop, but he left you a note on the table.
 * Toni: The laundry has agreed to pay - you did real good kid! Go collect the cash and bring it back here. Watch out for the Triads. They may be shoving a firecracker up your ass, but don't take no crap. Nobody, I mean nobody, messes with TONI CIPRIANI!

 * [introducing the song "Shake It Up" by Giorgio Moroder and Arthur W. Barrow]
 * Toni: This one reminds me of waking up on the [static] band tour bus. What's his name? The one with the highlights and the mascara? He was wearing this great jacket with shoulder pads and he started playing along to this song on a kazoo. We were wild.

 * [repeated line]
 * Lazlow: What are you talking about?

 * Old Woman: [having her car stolen] I'm an old lady, for Christ's sake!

 * Old Woman: [stuck in traffic] I gotta get my face plucked!

 * [at Joey's garage, Joey is fixing a car]
 * Misty: Are you ready already? I want to play with your "thing" again.
 * Joey: Just this one more, then...
 * [Joey notices, that The Player has arrived]
 * Joey: Ah, my friend!

 * Pedestrian: You can look but you can't touch!

 * Freddy: When I was a boy in England, I had a nanny. She was very strict, Lazlow. [...]
 * Lazlow: How old is your son?
 * Freddy: Excuse me?
 * Lazlow: How old is your son?
 * Freddy: I don't have children! I can't stand the little brats! But Freddy needs a nanny...
 * Lazlow: Alright, that's enough of him! God, who gave this guy a green card?

 * Gay Construction Worker: In the Navy!

 * [Lazlow finishes a conversation with a caller on Chatterbox]
 * Lazlow: This is really going nowhere. Do you have anything else to say?
 * Caller: Yes...
 * [yells]
 * Caller: Free Kevin!

 * Chinatown Pedestrian: Mo money, Mo problems!

 * Gay Construction Worker: Young man!
 * [later]
 * Gay Construction Worker: There's a place you can go.
 * [later]
 * Gay Construction Worker: Call the YMCA.

 * Caller: I'm promoting my organization, Citizens Raging Against Phones.
 * Lazlow: Crap? Your organization is called CRAP? How many people are there in this crap?
 * Caller: Citizens are raging against phones!
 * Lazlow: How many people?
 * Caller: There are three of us. It's hard organizing meeting without the phone. We've had to resort to carrier pigeons and they keep disappearing.
 * Lazlow: Wait a minute, you want to stop people from using the phone? But you're calling up on a phone to tell the world about it!

 * Joey: "Chunky" Lee Chong is pushin' spank for some new gang from Colombia... or Colorado... or something, I'm not really sure... who needs details anyway? That rat has sold his last stirfry. I want you to take him out! Sort yourself with a nine, you know where it is, right?

 * Diablo: You gonna die now, Homes!

 * Columbian: You're a brave man, eh?

 * Kenji Kasen: YOU! How fitting you should choose this moment to show your worthless face! It would appear your attempts to dissuade the Jamaicans from becoming bed fellows with the Cartel were wholly inadequate! Yardie pushers line Liberty's streets selling packets of SPANK like they were selling hotdogs! Those Cartel pigs are laughing at us, at me! I will give you one last chance to prove my sisters faith in you to be well founded! Run these scumbags into the ground and wash your shame in rivers of our enemies blood!

 * Salvatore Leone: Me and the fellas need to talk business so you're gonna look after my girl for the evening. HEY MARIA! MOVE YOUR BUTT! Dumb broad does this every time. And here she is, the one and only Queen of Sheba! What were you doing up there? Whatever it was, I bet it cost me money.
 * Maria: Well, you don't think I hang around for the conversation, do you?
 * Salvatore Leone: Get in that car and keep your big mouth shut. Take the limo but bring it back in one piece, yhear me? And watch her, she can be trouble.
 * Maria: Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm sure your new lap dog has everything covered, and isn't he big and strong? Hey Fido, Let's go visit Chico and get some party treats! He's at the rail station at the Chinatown waterfront I think.

 * Maria: M-E-N, Oh, it's a dirty word but there's only three letters.

 * Maria: You broadcasters are all the same, aren't you, I mean I heard about you, you're always out on boys nights!
 * Lazlow: Whoa, Whoa what are you talking about, I'm married!
 * Maria: One of those convenience jobs to protect you, I bet? I know what you're all like! You know more about men than I know about leopard-skin furniture!

 * Reed Tucker: Our ancestors didn't eat chicken wings, they lived at one with nature and their eco-system. Existing on a diet of nuts, berries and leafy vegetables.
 * Lazlow: Yeah, and they threw stones at their own shadow and died of old age and fear at twenty-four!

 * Police helicopter co-pilot: We're gonna KILL YOU!
 * Police helicopter pilot: [to pilot] You can't say that it's not in the book!

 * Donald Love: Experience has taught me that a man like you can be very loyal for the right price, but groups of men get greedy.

 * Pedestrian: Give me a doughnut! I'm hungry!

 * Caller: Countries that don't have guns aint American!
 * Lazlow: You're right, countries that don't have guns aren't American...

 * Maria: You broadcasters are all the same, aren't you, I mean I heard about you, you're always out on boys nights!
 * Lazlow: Whoa, Whoa what are you talking about, I'm married!
 * Maria: One of those convenience jobs to protect you, I bet? I know what you're all like! You know more about men than I know about leopard-skin furniture!

 * Caller: Wow, I got through! Uh, Lazlow, I think your last two callers are a perfect example of manners in this city! People are rude, and they don't seem to care about anything but themselves. Perfect example: the other day, I stopped at the store to pick up an exercise bar because I hadn't had breakfast or lunch. So I go up to pay, and the lady's like, "A dollar twenty-five please." So I get out my checkbook, and this guy behind me is like, "Oh come on lady, you don't have two dollars?" And I said, "As a matter of fact, I don't! I spent my last two dollars last night buying gas at these ridiculous gas prices. And besides, who are you anyway? Can't you see that I'm wearing my 'I walked for the cure' T-shirt?" People are so inconsiderate!
 * Lazlow: Well, you'll get no argument from me. I mean, I get every inconsiderate moron in Liberty City calling into this show. I mean, people think that I have no feelings what-so-ever!
 * Caller: Exactly! Another perfect example: the other day I'm over at the hospital to have my lunch with my girl friend Cherice, and this maniac comes right up on my bumper, flashing his lights, and I'm like, "Hey guy, the light is red, you can't just come up behind me honking and flashing your lights!" Then he gets over this megaphone and says, "To the woman in the teal Maibatsu Monstrosity, please move to the side!" Can you believe it? I mean, who has a megaphone hooked into their car? People are sooo obnoxious these days! And rude! I mean, I tell my nanny to teach my kids some manners.
 * Lazlow: You know, I think that's a lesson to us all! All right, hello next caller, you're on Chatterbox.
 * Freddy: Hello Lazlow...
 * Lazlow: ...ugh...
 * Freddy: ...did that woman say she was a nanny? Because Freddy needs a nanny because he's been a very naughty boy...
 * Lazlow: *Nooo, no nannies*!

 * Lazlow Jones: Get off! Get lost, you're just a cheap pimp from upstate get out of my studio!
 * Fernando Martinez: I saved your daddy! I saved your husband! It is a miracle
 * Lazlow Jones: Get out of here!

About

 * GTA III was a showcase for the powerhouse PS2. Earlier games in the series were fun, prankishly rude ditties; you played a criminal, and observed the gridlike world from an omniscient, top-down perspective. GTA III created an entire three-dimensional world, setting you at ground level in a city that could be freely explored. It wasn’t the first game to combine different genres into one, but the component parts of GTA III‘s gameplay were well integrated: it was a driving game, a third-person shooter, an RPG-inflected adventure, a crime thriller. The Casual Gamer — a primordial notion, five years pre-Wii — probably thought that GTA III was less a single videogame than an entire entertainment system unto itself. GTA III kickstarted whole host of changes in the videogame industry. Along with Halo: Combat Evolved, released in November 2001 as an Xbox launch title, it’s a central to the paradigm shift in the early ’00s that transformed videogames either into “a legitimately cool and important cultural force” or “that annoyingly fashionable Hot New Thing that meant Lindsay Lohan attended the launch party of Saints Row The Third” — depending on your perspective. (I’ll never forget watching The O.C. and noticing that Seth Cohen had a Rockstar Games poster up in his bedroom.)

 * "Most of the delay in releasing the game, which was only a couple of weeks, was a product of the fact that our office in New York was pretty close to Ground Zero and so any work that had to be done there was made impossible for a period," Houser added. "The mood in the office... It was very upsetting, very unnerving and overwhelming. It was the same for us as it was for anybody. But we also felt we'd come this close to making this great game and that despite these problems, just as despite the problems of Take Two, it was our duty to finish it."

 * According to what we have termed an identity simulation account, these effects are a consequence of identification with deviant video game characters (e.g., Fischer, Kastenmüller, & Greitemeyer, 2010; Konijn et al., 2007) and self-perception of correspondent deviant personality characteristics and attitudes (e.g., Uhlmann & Swanson, 2004; Fischer et al., 2009; Hull et al., 2012). Although we do not have measures of the extent to which participants identify with game characters in the current research, we can distinguish protagonists in the games they report playing in terms of their motives and values. Specifically, in Grand Theft Auto III, the primary character is an underworld thug working his way up the criminal hierarchy, whereas in Spiderman II the primary character is a superhero using his powers to fight villains. Although these games are similar insofar as both lend themselves to unlimited aggressive behavior, in support of the proposition that the character and motives of the protagonist matters, 13 of 15 specific comparisons between these two games were statistically significant: Play of GTA III was associated with greater behavioral deviance than play of Spiderman II. These differences even extend to our primary measure of aggression.

 * Before “Grand Theft Auto,” there wasn’t a lot of freedom in games. You might be able to choose the order of missions, but if you wanted to just explore the world, it wasn’t possible. “GTA” encouraged that and gives you lots of ways to do so. You can fly planes, drive tanks or ride jetpacks. You can steal an ambulance and respond to emergency calls. Carjack a taxi? Pick up fares to earn extra money. Rockstar dubbed its game a sandbox for players - a term that has stuck as other developers have copied the formula.

Dialogue about

 * Q: Okay, let’s get theoretical here. You’ve had the ’80s-era game, the ’90s-era game. Say you want to do a Grand Theft Auto that is set in 2001, when Grand Theft Auto III came out. How would the new game be different from GTA III? What kinds of stuff would you want to incorporate into it? What’s your vision of the early 2000s?
 * A: I think we got pretty close in some ways. We had things that seemed very important then, like absurd websites. That was just at the end of the first dotcom boom. The bust had happened in early 2000, but the Internet was still hot new news. And things like SUVs… Now, they’re completely acceptable, but that was when suddenly everyone was beginning to drive SUVs, and not worrying about their fuel bills anymore. That was a big issue. Real estate was becoming a big issue. It really hadn’t fully kicked off in 2001. And that was before 9/11. The game came out about six weeks after 9/11, but was set before 9/11. If my memory serves me correctly, in that particular period — apart from the stock market collapse that was then obscured by the credit bubble — there was very little pain in the world. People were still believing it was a sort of post-historical world. To mine some of that — what now seems like naiveté — you couldn’t not do that now.
