Murder by Death

Murder by Death is a 1976 comedy film that spoofs the traditional whodunit mystery. The five greatest detectives are assembled in a remote mansion for a "dinner and a murder" weekend.
 * Directed by Robert Moore. Written by Neil Simon.

You are cordially invited to dinner…and a murder! taglines

Inspector Sidney Wang

 * Conversation like television set on honeymoon…not necessary.
 * Questions like athlete's foot…after a while, very irritating.
 * Man who argue with cow on wall like train with no wheels, very soon get nowhere.
 * Treacherous road like fresh mushroom...must always— [Willie drives the car away.] Idiot! Not finish mushroom story! You Idiot!
 * Someone gone to great trouble to make welcome guests, not so welcome.
 * Son will get bags. That is why I adopted him.
 * Big house like man married to fat woman…hard to get around.
 * No pulse. No heartbeat. If condition does not change, this man is dead.
 * Answer simple, but question, very hard.
 * Someone just put deadly snake in room. Wake me when it come near bed.
 * You feed cat…dog food?
 * Miss Marbles, I have admired you since I was tiny little detective.
 * Voice come from cow on wall!
 * Room filled with empty people.
 * He loved me very much, but he was not very observant. One day when I was nineteen, he called me to his study, realized for the first time that I was Oriental, and kicked me out of house!
 * Went back to theory seldom used today: "Butler Did It."

Milo Perrier

 * You should not speak with an accent when you know I'm so hungry.
 * Monsieur Twain, we have been here nearly four hours and there has not been a hint of a hot dinner or a cold corpse. I must therefore bid you adieu.
 * You don't have to say "dead butler." It's bad enough I have to put my hand in his pocket.
 * One of us will be one million dollars richer, and one of us will be going to the gas chamber to be hung.
 * Forgive me, but I was talking about patricide, not uncle-cide.
 * Mr. Twain would come to France every season…to hunt poodles.
 * I am not a Frenchie, I'm a Belgie!
 * You look taller to me. Why is that?
 * As a man you are barely passable, but as a woman you are a dog.

Tess Skeffington

 * There's nothing on him until '46, when he was picked up in El Paso, Texas for trying to smuggle a truckload of rich, white Americans across the border into Mexico to pick melons. He was sent to the Dallas state hospital for mental observation.
 * Please, excuse Sam. He was shot in the head last week. He shouldn't even be out of the hospital.

Sam Diamond

 * Why don't you ask the moose on the wall? He's been watching us since we came in.
 * All right, we'll take turns. You look over the first dead, naked body that we find and I'll look over the second.
 * That can only mean one thing—and I don't know what it is!
 * My motive is unimportant—let's just say I hated him enough to kill him.
 * Where was ya, Wang? We was worried.

Dick Charleston

 * The motive is simple: ego. If we were not to solve this crime, he would indeed be named the world's foremost detective. And with an ego like his, the fact that he had to die for it would be a small price to pay.

Bensonmum

 * Ten people for dinner, and I'm serving them hot nothing! You can't get good help today.

Dora Charleston

 * I don't understand. Why would anybody want to steal a dead, naked body? (after she is told in a whisper:) Oh. That's tacky.
 * I want you to know, Dickie darling, that if you're the murderer, I'll still love you. I don't think it would be right for us to make love, but I'd still love you.

Lionel Twain

 * You've all been so clever for so long you've forgotten to be humble. You tricked and fooled your readers for years. You've tortured us all with surprise endings that make no sense. You've introduced characters in the last five pages who were never in the book before! You withheld clues and information that made it impossible for us to guess who did it! But now, the tables are turned. Millions of angry mystery readers are now getting their revenge. When the world learns how I've outsmarted you, they'll be selling your $1.95 books for $.12!

Dialogue

 * Willie Wang: ...I covered him (Twain's body) up, Pop...I can't believe you missed it. The world's five greatest living detectives, and not one of you noticed that Twain was clutching a note in his hand!
 * Sidney Wang: Give it to me.
 * Willie: No, it's mine.
 * Milo Perrier: Oh, give it to your father, you idiot!
 * Willie: (gloating) "Idiot!?" We'll see who's the idiot, Mr. Perrier! The $1 million goes to whoever solves the crime, and that could be me just as easily as you! I've got more brains than my father gives me credit for! "#3 Adopted Son?" I'm sick and tired of being just your #3 Adopted Son. I'm Willie Wang, Young Detective! This clue belongs to me, and nobody's getting it from me, you understand? Nobody!
 * Sam Diamond: (with his gun leveled at Willie's head) Better stand back, Tess. I don't want you to get hurt when the bullet comes out his other ear. (takes the note and reads) "Please call dairy and cancel future deliveries of milk; Lionel Twain deceased." (hands back the note) So much for your clue, kid.
 * Willie: (very sheepish) Uhm...Sorry about that, Dad.

 * Dr. Watson: ...I say, old boy! Could you possibly direct us to - Hello, it's Mr. Sidney Wang!
 * Sherlock Holmes: Good evening, Mr. Wang.
 * Sidney Wang: Good evening. You need directions to where?
 * Watson: Ah, yes - We've been cordially invited to dinner and a murder by one Mr. Lionel Twain.
 * Willie Wang: Lionel Twain!? Listen, you guys don't want -
 * Sidney: (cutting him off) Never mind him, please. You just go up this road, past bridge, "22 Twain." No can miss it.
 * Watson: Ever so much obliged! Good day, then! (He and Holmes drive off)
 * Willie: I don't get it, Pop! Why didn't you just tell them it was all a ripoff?
 * Sidney: Ah, let idiots find out for themselves! Drive, please.

 * Dick Charleston: Darling, I smell crime in the air!
 * Dora Charleston: I'm not surprised; you just ran over a small animal.

 * Dora Charleston: What a godforsaken spot to get lost!
 * Dick Charleston: Yes, I saw a much better spot a few miles back.

 * Dick Charleston: I say, you don't happen to have a seen a little white...Wang!
 * Willie Wang: A white wang?
 * Dick Charleston: Good heavens, Sidney Wang! What are you doing in this godforsaken spot?
 * Sydney Wang: No doubt same as you: looking for bridge that lead to home of host, Mr. Lionel Twain.

 * Tess Skeffington: If you ask me, Sam, this is a wild goose chase.
 * Sam Diamond: Nobody asked you, baby.
 * Tess Skeffington: Yes, they did. You asked me. You asked me back there if I—
 * Sam Diamond: That was then. This is now. And nobody knows what tomorrow will be. That's the way things are, whether we like it or not.

 * Sidney Wang: Weight of two men may be too much for bridge.
 * Willie Wang: Then why do I get to drive the car?
 * Sidney Wang: Because I smart enough to get out first.

 * Willie Wang: Are you nuts, Pop? Someone's trying to kill us!
 * Sidney Wang: Yes, should make exciting weekend. Ring, please.
 * Willie Wang: I wish it was Monday morning.

 * (A dark figure walks past a draped window above)
 * Sidney Wang: Did you see that?
 * Willie Wang: No.
 * Sidney Wang: Neither did I.

 * Sidney Wang: Strange weather: storm only outside, when...inside.
 * Butler: Oh, that. That's just one of Mr. Twain's little toys.

 * Dora Charleston: What's your name?
 * Butler: Bensonmum.
 * Dora Charleston: Thank you, Benson.
 * Butler: No, no. Bensonmum- my name is Bensonmum.
 * Dick Charleston: Bensonmum?
 * Butler: Yes, sir. Jamessir Bensonmum.
 * Dick Charleston: Jamessir?
 * Butler: Yes, sir?
 * Dick Charleston: Jamessir Bensonmum?
 * Butler: (slightly annoyed) Yes, sir.
 * Dick Charleston: How odd.
 * Butler: My father's name, sir.
 * Dick Charleston: What was your father's name?
 * Butler: Howard. Howard Bensonmum.
 * Dick Charleston: Your father's name was Howard Bensonmum?
 * Dora Charleston: Leave it alone Dickie, I've had enough.

 * Tess Skeffington: Twain picked up Sam in a gay bar.
 * Sam Diamond: I was workin' a case!!!
 * Tess Skeffington: Oh, Sam - every night for six months?!

 * Willie Wang: Why would anyone want to hire a blind butler?
 * Sidney Wang: For one thing, very cheap. How butler know how much he get paid?

 * Dick Charleston: Up there, Dora, look - the blind butler.
 * Dora Charleston: Don't let him park the car, Dickie.

 * Dick Charleston: Died of what?
 * Butler: She murdered herself in her sleep, sir.
 * Dick Charleston: You mean suicide?
 * Butler: Oh, no. It was murder, all right. Mrs. Twain hated herself.

 * Marcel: You have chocolate on your face.
 * Milo Perrier: What?
 * Marcel: The candy bar, it is all over your face.
 * Milo Perrier: That is my moustache.
 * Marcel: Lick it and see.

 * Sam Diamond: And I owe Ms. Skeffington here three years and two months back pay. Ain't that right, angel?
 * Tess Skeffington: I don't care about the money, Sam.
 * Sam Diamond: Neither do I.

 * Dora Charleston: Mr. Diamond, you have a bullet hole in your back!
 * Sam Diamond: You should see the other guy.

 * Milo Perrier: One moment. Where is the soup?
 * Butler: In your dish.
 * Milo Perrier: There is nothing in my dish but my dish.
 * Butler: (sipping from empty spoon) I see what you mean, sir. If you'll excuse me, I'd better have a little talk with the cook.

 * Dick Charleston: Just as I thought. Another test that could have cost us our lives, saved only by the fact that I am enormously well-bred.
 * Sam Diamond: Lucky it wasn't me; I'da been chopped liver by now.

 * Sidney Wang: What meaning of this, Mr. Twain?
 * Lionel Twain: I will tell you, Mr. Wang, if you can tell me why a man who possesses one of the most brilliant minds of this century can't say his prepositions or articles. The, Mr. Wang. What is the meaning of this?
 * Sidney Wang: That what I said: what meaning of this?

 * Jessica Marbles: What is it?
 * Milo Perrier: A bill. Everything here has been rented for tonight - the butler, the cook, the food, the dining room chairs, everything.
 * Jessica Marbles: You mean...?
 * Milo Perrier: Yes, this entire murder has been...catered.

 * Milo Perrier: He's gone.
 * Jessica Marbles: Who's gone?
 * Milo Perrier: The butler. His body is missing. Here's the key
 * Sidney Wang: If butler gone, where you find key?
 * Milo Perrier: In his pocket.
 * Jessica Marbles: What pocket?
 * Milo Perrier: The butler's pocket.
 * Sidney Wang: Butler gone but pocket still there?
 * Milo Perrier: Exactly.

 * Sidney Wang: Man who argue with cow on wall is like train without wheels - very soon get nowhere.
 * Milo Perrier: Oh, be quiet. I'm sick of your fortune cookies.
 * Sidney Wang: Oh, man who is sick of fortune cookie...

 * Milo Perrier: What do you make of all of this, Wang?
 * Sidney Wang: Is confusing.
 * Lionel Twain: It! It is confusing. Say your goddamn pronouns!

 * Sam Diamond: I don't get it. First they steal the body and leave the clothes, then they steal the clothes and bring the body back. Who'd do a thing like that?
 * Dick Charleston: Possibly some deranged dry cleaner.

 * Milo Perrier: When is a dining room filled with people not a dining room filled with people?
 * Jessica Marbles: When it is two dining rooms!

 * (Perrier has just returned to the room, looking disheveled in the butler's clothes)
 * Milo Perrier: Don't ask me!
 * Dick Charleston: What are you doing in the butler's uniform?
 * Milo Perrier: I said don't ask me! I don't know. It all happened so quickly!

 * Dora Charleston: Is he dead?
 * Sam Diamond: With a thing like that in his back, in the long run, he's better off.

 * (Sam fires his gun at the ceiling to get everyone's attention)
 * Sam Diamond: Shut up, all of youse! Nobody move! Stay where you are, everybody!
 * Dick Charleston: What is it?
 * Sam Diamond: I haveta go to the can again! I don't want to miss nothin'!

 * Willie Wang: Why do I do all the dirty work, Pop?
 * Sidney Wang: Because your mother not here to do it.

 * Sidney Wang: One moment, please. Very interesting theory, Mr. Charleston, but you overlook one very important point.
 * Dick Charleston: And that is?
 * Sidney Wang: (giggling) Is stupid. Is most stupid theory I ever heard!

 * Tess Skeffington: He wasn't my father, he was my uncle. He was very good to me; he'd take me to the circus and give me candy. We stopped going when I was about 26. I'm sorry, Sam.
 * Sam Diamond: 26? What the hell kinda circus was it?

 * Willie Wang: Pop?
 * Sidney Wang: Yes?
 * Willie Wang: Who do you think is the murderer?
 * Sidney Wang: Must sleep on it. Will know in morning when wake up.
 * Willie Wang: What if you don't wake up?
 * Sidney Wang: Then you did it.

 * Jessica Marbles: Good God - gas!
 * Miss Withers: I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm old.
 * Jessica Marbles: No, no. The other kind of gas. The kind that kills!
 * Miss Withers: Sometimes my gas...

 * Marcel: Oh, you are unfair! I will tell everyone that you wear a toupée.
 * Milo Perrier: They already know!
 * Marcel: Then why do you wear it?
 * Milo Perrier: I didn't know that you knew.
 * Marcel: Certainly I know. It is a terrible toupée.

 * Butler: Very clever of you, Mr. Wang. As you can see, I can see.
 * Sydney Wang: So I see.
 * Butler: Tell me, as the only survivor, how did you deduce it was me?
 * Sydney Wang: Went back to theory seldom used today: butler did it.
 * Butler: I hadn't thought of that.

 * Sidney Wang: There, voice come from cow on wall!
 * Lionel Twain: Moose! Moose, you imbecile!
 * Milo Perrier: Where are they?! What have you done with the others, you short madman!
 * Lionel Twain: Aha! Stumped already! Need some clues, Monsieur Perrier?
 * Milo Perrier: Clues? I need no clues from you- I'll find my own clues, you demented lollipop!

 * Sydney Wang: Door locked.
 * Jessica Marbles: Sam Diamond probably locked it from the inside as a precaution.
 * Sydney Wang: Good thinking on Diamond head.

 * Willie Wang: I don't get it, Pop - was there a murder or wasn't there?
 * Sydney Wang: Yes, killed good weekend! Drive, please.

 * Dick Charleston: Now, let's see what we have here. We have one missing, dead, naked butler; one host with a butcher's knife in his back; and one poisonous scorpion crawling up our sheets.
 * Dora Charleston: Oh, is that what that is?
 * Dick Charleston: Yes. They can kill instantly; I suggest we don't move.
 * Dora Charleston: For how long?
 * Dick Charleston: Quite possibly, the rest of our lives.

 * Sam Diamond: You did good, Tess. How'd you find out all that information?
 * Tess Skeffington: I wrote to Twain and asked him.
 * Sam Diamond: Good thinking.

 * Butler: I'll get your bags sir.
 * Sydney Wang: No, son do that, that is why I adopted him.
 * Butler: Very good, sir.

 * Marcel: Zer is something very creepy about this monsieur, I can feel it in my buns.
 * Milo Pierre: Buns? Buns! You brought buns and you didn't tell me!
 * Marcel: No monsieur, I am talking about the buns in my body.
 * Milo Pierre: You should not speak in an accent when you know I am hungry.

P. L. Deshpande

P. L. Deshpande (November 8, 1919 – June 12, 2000) was a noted Indian writer in Marathi. He was also famous as an orator and performing artist. He wrote as Pu La (IPA: /pʊ.ɫ/) Deshpande, from his initials in Marathi.

From his various literature

 * शेवटी काय हो, आपण पत्त्याच्या नावाचे धनी, मजकुराचा मालक निराळाच.
 * Translation:In a letter, all we own is the address on the envelope. The contents are a matter of fate.
 * Alternate translation: Ultimately, it may be our name on the envelope, but someone else (God) is the one who wrote the message.
 * Pu La had a penchant for ending his humourous works with thought-provoking punchlines. In this quote from his work Post Office, he sums up on how life is a lot like the the letters that pass through the post office.

 * झाले ! म्हणजे प्रश्नातून सुटका नाही. माझीच नव्हे, कुणाचीच नाही! मग जगणे म्हणजे नुसते श्वासोच्छ्वास घेणे की लक्ष लक्ष प्रश्नांच्या उत्तरांमागून धावणे? शेवटी प्रश्न म्हणजे तरी काय आणि उत्तर म्हणजे तरी काय? हादेखील एक प्रश्नच. मी त्या प्रश्नचिन्हाकडेच निरखून पाहतो. आणि युरेका! त्या प्रश्नचिन्हातच माझे उत्तर कसल्याशा सांकेतिक भाषेत दडवले आहे हे मला ठाऊक नव्हते. प्रश्नचिन्हाच्या त्या आकड्याखालीच शून्य हे त्याचे उत्तरही असते. विरामिचन्हे इतकी विचारपूर्वक बनवली असतील याची मला कल्पना नव्हती!
 * Translation: Alas! So there is no escape from the question. Not for me, not for anyone! Then life is just breathing or running behind infinite number of questions? And then, what question is really ? And what answer is too? This too a question. I observe the question mark carefully. And Eureka ! I didn't know that my answer was encrypted and hidden in that symbol of a question mark. The dot below the curved stroke in a question mark symbolizes Zero as the question's answer itself, I never knew. Punctuation marks are so carefully crafted, I never knew!

 * जगात काय बोलत आहात ह्यापेक्षा कोण बोलत आहात ह्याला जास्त महत्त्व आहे.
 * Translation: In this world, "who is saying", is more important than "what is being said" !
 * Alternate translation: In this world, who you are is more important than what you are saying.
 * Source: Asa mi Asami

 * प्रयास हा प्रतिभेचा प्राणवायू आहे.
 * Translation: Effort is the oxygen for talent.
 * Source: These words are uttered by the lead character of his work with the same name - Sakharam Gatne.

 * लग्नापुर्वी शी न लूक्ड सो … लुकडी!
 * Translation: Before marriage, she looked so .. (Pu La completes) Thin!
 * In his hilarious work 'Mi ani majha shatrupaksha' (Me and my enemy party), Pu La criticizes people who bore others by telling them accounts of their travels, showing them pictures of holidays or discussing their housing construction plans. This particular quote is from a situation when the author is forced to sit through a painfully slow and boring display of old photographs by a husband and wife.
 * It is a play on the English word "looked" and the Marathi word "thin", which is pronounced "lukdi". The character who speaks the first part of the quote is intermingling English and Marathi in the lines.

 * मी लंडन मध्ये हमाली करून वजनी पाउंड घटवून चलनी पाउंड कमवावेत, असही सुचवण्यात आलं.
 * Translation: It was also suggested that, In London, I should work as a porter to gain some monetary pounds while losing some pounds in weight.
 * In his travelogue Apoorvai (अपूर्वाइ), Pu La describes the non-stop flow of advice before traveling to London. This quote is one advice given to him on learning on how many pounds porters charge for carrying baggage on train stations in London.

 * परिस्थिति हा अश्रूंचा कारखाना आहे!.
 * Translation:Circumstance is a factory of tears.
 * Source: These words are uttered by the lead character of his work with the same name - Sakharam Gatne.

About

 * In his writings, Pu Lu has said that he is afraid of taking a stand against the Government. This was much before the Shiv Sena-BJP Government came into power.... It may well be that he would have been deprived of government patronage - this is something that has happened to others. Or, that he would have been subjected to physical attacks. Yet, the progressives have labelled the present government as fascist, and the previous governments as democratic.
 * Ashok Chowgule, Of Pu La and progressives, Indian Express, 22-2-1997, as quoted in Elst, K. (2010). The saffron swastika: The notion of "Hindu fascism". p 799

no-intro and stub
I've re-added these tags at the beginning of the page because the introduction that is present doesn't sufficiently introduce the topic (is this page for a television show, or a character from the show, etc.). As for it being a stub, if it is a show, the page needs to be cleaned up, and there are probably a few more quotes that could be added; if it's for a character, it needs to include quotes by the character, not just ones about the character by other characters. —LrdChaos 14:28, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Karla. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Karla~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 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Re. Malcolm in the Middle
I am sorry you did not get a timely answer to your question about limiting quotes per episode. For copyright guidelines being developed, see village pump. For the reason copyright cleanup is proceeding with all due haste, see On disbanding Wikiquote. Regards ~ Ningauble 14:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I must not have read your mail to me on October 5; I apologize for having overlooked it. For the specific discussion of television pages in our revised guidelines discussion, please see Village_pump. We reached a consensus that we will have two quotes maximum per half-hour episodes and five quotes maximum per hour-long episodes. - InvisibleSun 17:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you both for your responses. In light of this, I will be resigning as an editor, as I do not believe this is a justifiable rule. Warmest regards. --Jnelson09 19:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

User page wikifying
I don't usually edit people's user pages (even if they welcome it), but I was intrigued by your mention of Invisible Pink Unicorn (being a fan of parody religions), so I felt compelled to add the Wikipedia link. (I also wikified your bolding and italicizing, by way of demonstrating simplified (and preferred) wiki formatting.) I hope you don't mind; you're welcome to reverse the changes, of course — it's your user page. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Toronto

Toronto is a major city in Canada, most populous city in the country, and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario.

The history of Toronto began in the late 18th century when the British Crown purchased its land from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The British established a settlement there, called the Town of York, which its lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe, designated as the capital of Upper Canada. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed Toronto. It was damaged in two huge fires in 1849 and 1904. Over the years, Toronto has expanded its borders several times through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998. According to the 2011 Census, the city is the fifth-most populous city in North America.

Quotes

 * York is just emerging from the woods, but bids fair to be a flourishing town.
 * John Bennett, the King's Printer in Upper Canada (1801)

 * Toronto feels especially unsafe for Jews. There's been regular news about targeted assault, arson, bomb threats and the blockade of a Jewish neighbourhood. But is it actually worse here than elsewhere? Let's look at the data...
 * Jesse Brown [via a X] (Jan 11, 2024)

 * Houses of ill-fame in Toronto? Certainly not. The whole city is an immense house of ill fame.
 * C. S. Clark, Of Toronto the Good (1898)
 * It is not squalid like Birmingham, or cramped like Canton, or scattered like Edmonton, or sham like Berlin, or hellish like New York, or tiresome like Nice. It is all right. The only depressing thing is that it will always be what it is, only larger, and that no Canadian city can ever be anything better or different. If they are good they may become Toronto.
 * Rupert Brooke (1913)
 * I found Toronto an immensely likeable city, spacious and gentle and slightly dignified, but in a low-key, friendly way. The only people who didn’t seem to think much of it were its inhabitants, who could hardly wait for you to ask directions, because that gave them the perfect opportunity to apologise for it. What they were apologising for I never understood.
 * John Cleese, So, Anyway … (2014)
 * Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.
 * Aleister Crowley, The Confessions of Aleister Crowley (1970)
 * Indeed I have always found that the only thing in regard to Toronto which faraway people know for certain is that McGill University is in it.
 * Stephen Leacock, My Discovery of the West (1937)

 * I used to think that it was way too cold 'Til I went to Canada and saw some beautiful hoes. Now I hit the Caribana every year in Toronto, Then fly to Illinois to get a taste of Chicago.
 * Ludacris, "Pimpin' All Over The World", The Red Light District (2004)
 * The foreign laborers described incidents of false promises, which included documentation, quality of housing, their work hours, and their pay. They also described living in deplorable conditions with dozens of people sleeping on mattresses on the floor, a lack of food, a lack of privacy and bug infestations
 * Det. Sgt. Gary McBride according to Police rescue 64 Mexican nationals from 'deplorable' alleged human trafficking ring in Toronto-area by Chris Fox (Updated March 3, 2023 9:56 a.m. PST Published March 3, 2023 9:02 a.m. PST)
 * Could we expect Canada to compete with European cultures that have existed for centuries? Their history is literally carved into their cities. Toronto will often claim it’s a world-class city. Paris simply claims it is Paris.
 * Mike Myers, Canada (2016)
 * Last night I Had a dream about Toronto. I was on my bicycle, cruising about in front of the old house. And, as usual in my dreams, I was a little girl again. A little girl in Toronto, with long golden curls.
 * Mary Pickford, in an interview with the Toronto Telegram (22 June 1968)
 * Parish's observant father had once commented to her that Toronto was a city of straight streets and square corners built by Scottish bankers to make money - not to look at the beautiful lake or the wonderful valleys and forests. He was mostly right, but Bay was a rare exception to the city's linear grid.
 * Robert Rotenberg, Old City Hall (2009)

 * I could put you in the condo All the way up in Toronto; Baby, put you in the fur coat Riding the Murciélago.
 * T-Pain, "Can't Believe It" (June 2008)

 * Despite recent progress, urban growth continues to put pressure on local biodiversity. The number of people using the city’s natural system is increasing; invasive species are displacing native plants and animals; and a changing climate is affecting the life cycles of many species and negatively impacting the ability of our natural areas to provide ecosystem services.
 * Toronto City Planning and Parks, Forestry and Recreation with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority according to Wild, Connected And Diverse: A Biodiversity Strategy For Toronto (September 2019)

Robert Owen

Robert Owen (14 May 1771 – 17 November 1858) was a Welsh socialist and social reformer, considered to be the father of the cooperative movement.

Quotes

 * Man is the creature of circumstances.
 * "The Philanthropist".

 * As there are a very great variety of religious sects in the world (and which are probably adapted to different constitutions under different circumstances, seeing there are many good and conscientious characters in each), it is particularly recommended, as a means of uniting the inhabitants of the village into one family, that while each faithfully adheres to the principles which he most approves, at the same time all shall think charitably of their neighbours respecting their religious opinions, and not presumptuously suppose that theirs alone are right.
 * "Rules and Regulations for the Inhabitants of New Lanark" (1800).

 * My friends, I tell you that hitherto you have been prevented from even knowing what happiness really is, solely in consequence of the errors — gross errors — that have been combined with the fundamental notions of every religion that has hitherto been taught to men. And, in consequence, they have made man the most inconsistent, and the most miserable being in existence. By the errors of these systems he has been made a weak, imbecile animal; a furious bigot and fanatic or a miserable hypocrite; and should these qualities be carried, not only into the projected villages, but into Paradise itself, a Paradise would no longer be found!
 * Statement (21 August 1817), as quoted by Jim Herrick, in "Bradlaugh and Secularism: 'The Province of the Real'" (1990).

 * I was forced, through seeing the error of their foundation, to abandon all belief in every religion which had been taught to man. But my religious feelings were immediately replaced by the spirit of universal charity — not for a sect, or a party, or for a country or a colour — but for the human race, and with a real and ardent desire to do good.
 * Life of Robert Owen (1857) his autobiography, as quoted by Jim Herrick, in "Bradlaugh and Secularism: 'The Province of the Real'" (1990).

 * The working classes may be injuriously degraded and oppressed in three ways: 1st — When they are neglected in infancy 2nd — When they are overworked by their employer, and are thus rendered incompetent from ignorance to make a good use of high wages when they can procure them. 3rd — When they are paid low wages for their labour
 * Two Memorials on Behalf of the Working Classes (1818).

 * Eight hours daily labour is enough for any human being, and under proper arrangements sufficient to afford an ample supply of food, raiment and shelter, or the necessaries and comforts of life, and for the remainder of his time, every person is entitled to education, recreation and sleep.
 * "Foundation Axioms" of Society for Promoting National Regeneration (1833).

 * The lowest stage of humanity is experienced when the individual must labour for a small pittance of wages from others.
 * Paper Dedicated to the Governments of Great Britain, Austria, Russia, France, Prussia and the United States of America (1841).

 * Is it not the interest of the human race, that every one should be so taught and placed, that he would find his highest enjoyment to arise from the continued practice of doing all in his power to promote the well-being, and happiness, of every man, woman, and child, without regard to their class, sect, party, country or colour?
 * Paper Dedicated to the Governments of Great Britain, Austria, Russia, France, Prussia and the United States of America (1841) 17th of "20 Questions to the Human Race".

 * It is therefore, the interest of all, that every one, from birth, should be well educated, physically and mentally, that society may be improved in its character, — that everyone should be beneficially employed, physically and mentally, that the greatest amount of wealth may be created, and knowledge attained, — that everyone should be placed in the midst of those external circumstances that will produce the greatest number of pleasurable sensations, through the longest life, that man may be made truly intelligent, moral and happy, and be thus prepared to enter upon the coming Millennium.

A New View of Society (1813-1816)

 * A New View of Society, Or, Essays on the Principle of the Formation of the Human Character, and the Application of the Principle to Practice

 * Happily for poor traduced and degraded human nature, the principle for which we now content will speedily divest it of all the ridiculous and absurd mystery with which it has been hitherto enveloped by the ignorance of preceding times: and all the ‘’complicated’’ and ‘’counteracting’’ motives for good conduct, which have been multiplied almost to infinity, will be reduced to ‘’one single principle of action’’, which, by its evident operation and sufficiency, shall render this intricate system ‘’unnecessary’’, and ultimately supersede it in all parts of the earth. That principle is THE HAPPINESS OF SELF CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD AND UNIFORMLY PRACTICED; WHICH CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED BY CONDUCT THAT MUST PROMOTE THE HAPPINESS OF THE COMMUNITY.
 * Essay First, The Formation of Human Character.

 * The errors of the times of superstition and bigotry still hold some sway, and compel those who wish to preserve a regard to their respectability in society to an over strained demeanor; and this demeanor sometimes degenerates into hypocrisy, and is often the cause of great inconsistency. It is destructive of every open, honest, generous, and manly feeling. It disgusts many, and drives them to the opposite extreme. It is sometimes the cause of insanity. It is founded in ignorance. While erroneous customs prevail in any country, it would evince an ignorance of human nature in any individual to offend against them, until he has convinced the community of their error.
 * Essay Third.

 * The will of man has no power whatever over his opinions; he must, and ever did, and ever will, believe what has been, is, or may be impressed on his mind by his predecessors, and the circumstances which surround him.

 * The end of government is to make the governed and the governors happy. That government then is thebest, which in practice produces the greatest happiness to the greatest number; including those who govern, and those who obey.
 * Essay Fourth, The Principles of the Former Essays Applied to Government.
 * Train any population rationally, and they will be rational. Furnish honest and useful employments to those so trained, and such employments they will greatly prefer to dishonest or injurious occupations. It is beyond all calculation the interest of every government to provide that training and that employment; and to provide both is easily practicable.
 * Train any population rationally, and they will be rational. Furnish honest and useful employments to those so trained, and such employments they will greatly prefer to dishonest or injurious occupations. It is beyond all calculation the interest of every government to provide that training and that employment; and to provide both is easily practicable.

 * All the measures now proposed are only a compromise with the errors of the present systems; but as these errors now almost universally exist, and must be overcome solely by the force of reason; and as reason, to effect the most beneficial purposes, makes her advance by slow degrees, and progressively substantiates one truth of high import after another, it will be evident, to minds of comprehensive and accurate thought, that by these and similar compromises alone can success be rationally expected in practice. For such compromises bring truth and error before the public; and whenever they are fairly exhibited together, truth must ultimately prevail.

 * It is confidently expected that the period is at hand, when man, through ignorance, shall not much longer inflict unnecessary misery on man; because the mass of mankind will become enlightened, and will clearly discern that by so acting they will inevitably create misery to themselves. As soon as the public mind shall be sufficiently prepared to receive it, the practical detail of this system shall be fully developed. For the extensive knowledge of the facts which present themselves on the globe, makes it evident to those whose reasoning faculties have not been entirely paralysed, that all mankind firmly believe, that everybody except themselves has been grievously deceived in his fundamental principles; and feel the utmost astonishment that the nations of the world could embrace such gross inconsistencies for divine or political truths. Most persons are now also prepared to understand, that these weaknesses are firmly and conscientiously fixed in the minds of millions, who, when born, possessed equal faculties with themselves. And although they plainly discern in others what they deem inconceivable aberrations of the mental powers, yet, in despite of such facts, they are taught to believe that they themselves could not have been so deceived; and this impression is made upon the infant mind with the greatest ease, whether it be to create followers of the most ignorant, or of the most enlightened systems.

 * All that is now requisite, previous to withdrawing the last mental bandage by which hitherto the human race has been kept in darkness and misery, is, by calm and patient reasoning to tranquillize the public mind, and thus prevent the evil effects which otherwise might arise from the too sudden prospect of freely enjoying rational liberty of mind. To withdraw that bandage without danger, reason must be judiciously applied to lead men of every sect (for all have been in part abused to reflect that if untold myriads of beings, formed like themselves, have been so grossly deceived as they believe them to have been, what power in nature was there to prevent them from being equally deceived? Such reflections, steadily pursued by those who are anxious to follow the plain and simple path of reason, will soon make it obvious that the inconsistencies which they behold in all other sects out of their own pale, are precisely similar to those which all other sects can readily discover within that pale. It is not, however, to be imagined, that this free and open exposure of the gross errors in which the existing generation has been instructed, should be forthwith palatable to the world; it would be contrary to reason to form any such expectations. Yet, as evil exists, and as man cannot be rational, nor of course happy, until the cause of it shall be removed; the writer, like a physician who feels the deepest interest in the welfare of his patient, has hitherto administered of this unpalatable restorative the smallest quantity which he deemed sufficient for the purpose. He now waits to see the effects which that may produce. Should the application not prove of sufficient strength to remove the mental disorder, he promises that it shall be increased, until sound health to the public mind be firmly and permanently established.

Address to the Inhabitants of New Lanark (1816)

 * "Address to the Inhabitants of New Lanark" at the opening of the Institute for the Formation of Character (1 January, 1816)

 * What ideas individuals may attach to the term "Millennium" I know not; but I know that society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, with health greatly improved, with little, if any misery, and with intelligence and happiness increased a hundredfold; and no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society from becoming universal.

 * The Institution has been devised to afford the means of receiving your children at an early age, almost as soon as they can walk. By this means many of you, mothers and families, will be able to earn a better maintenance or support for your children; you will have less care and anxiety about them, while the children will be prevented from acquiring any bad habits. and gradually prepared to learn the best.

 * They would receive the same care and attention as those who belong to the establishment. Nor will there be any distinction made between the children of those parents who are deemed the worst, and of those who may be esteemed the best members of society: indeed I would prefer to receive the offspring of the worst, if they shall be sent at an early age; because they really require more of our care and pity and by well-training these, society will be more essentially benefited than if the like attention were paid to those whose parents are educating them in comparatively good habits.
 * On educating children of the poor, and of neighboring communities.

 * Believe me, my friends, you are yet very deficient with regard to the best modes of training your children, or of arranging your domestic concerns.

The Social System (1826)

 * The Social System — Constitution, Laws, and Regulations of a Community (1826) [written in 1821, published in 1826]

 * There is but one mode by which man can possess in perpetuity all the happiness which his nature is capable of enjoying, — that is by the union and co-operation of all for the benefit of each. Union and co-operation in war obviously increase the power of the individual a thousand fold. Is there the shadow of a reason why they should not produce equal effects in peace; why the principle of co-operation should not give to men the same superior powers, and advantages, (and much greater) in the creation, preservation, distribution and enjoyment of wealth?

 * In advanced age, and in cases of disability from accident, natural infirmity or any other cause, the individual shall be supported by the colony, and receive every comfort which kindness can administer.

 * To train and educate the rising generation will at all times be the first object of society, to which every other will be subordinate.

The Book of the New Moral World then he died (1836-1844)

 * Published as The Book of the New Moral World, in 7 volumes 1836-1844; published as one volume in 1845.

 * The advanced members of the medical profession know that the health of society is not to be obtained or maintained by medicines; — that it is far better, far more easy and far wiser, to adopt substantive measures to prevent disease of body or mind, than to allow substantive measure to remain continually to generate causes to produce physical and mental disorders.
 * 3rd Part.

 * To preserve permanent good health, the state of mind must be taken into consideration.
 * 3rd Part.

 * It is the interest of the individual and of all society, that he should be made, at the earliest period, to understand his own construction, the proper use of its parts, and how to keep them at all times in a state of health; and especially that he should be taught to observe the varied effects of different kinds of food, and different quantities, upon his own constitution. He should be taught the general and individual laws of health, thus early, that he may know how to prevent the approach of disease. And the knowledge of the particular diet best suited to his constitution, is one of the most essential laws of health.
 * 3rd Part.

 * Where are these rational practices to be taught and acquired? Not within the four walls of a bare building, in which formality predominates... But in the nursery, play-ground, fields, gardens, workshops, manufactures, museums and class-rooms. …The facts collected from all these sources will be concentrated, explained, discussed, made obvious to all, and shown in their direct application to practice in all the business of life.
 * 3rd Part.

 * The advantage of pure, and the disadvantage of impure air are experienced each time we breathe, and all who understand the causes of disease know that an impure atmosphere is most unfavourable to the enjoyment of health, and an efficient cause to shorten human existence within the natural life of man. It is therefore most desirable that decisive measures should be devised and generally adopted to ensure to all a pure atmosphere, in which to live during their lives.
 * 3rd Part.

 * Women will be no longer made the slaves of, or dependent upon men ... They will be equal in education, rights, privileges and personal liberty.
 * Sixth Part.

Quotes about Robert Owen

 * There is a class of minds, of which I consider Robert Owen and Fanny Wright as specimens, who, while wanting in that fine mental balance called common sense, are supplied with a large amount of enthusiasm. Such a combination, if united with a contemplative turn of mind and lively imagination, often leads to that mysticism whose votaries reside in a world of imagination and feeling. But when united to an active and fearless temperament, and under certain influences, it tends to that practical Atheism, which is exhibited in the projects and visionary efforts of Owen and Fanny Wright. … Robert Owen and his followers proceed on a principle which, if carried out, would banish gravitation and destroy fire and water, on account of the incidental evils they involve. They spend their time and breath in collecting and portraying the evil passions, persecutions, and contentions engendered by religion, the injurious action of law, the evils attending the marriage relation, and the family state, and on account of these incidental evils would labor to banish all the blessings secured by these healthful and indispensable institutions. If they should proceed still farther in carrying out their principles, they would be seen roaming through the world, boasting of their superior wisdom while destroying fire with water, and water with fire, as mischievous principles no longer to be tolerated. I have never seen or heard of any thing attempted by persons who have claims to rationality and to an enlightened education, that to me seemed more like the wild vagaries of lunacy than the establishment of Robert Owen at New Harmony. To collect together a company of persons of all varieties of age, taste, habits, and preconceived opinions, and teach them that there is no God, no future state, no retributions after death, no revealed standard of right and wrong, and no free agency; that the laws that secure private property are a nuisance, that religion is a curse, that marriage is a vexatious restraint, that the family state is needless and unwise, and then to expect such a community to dwell together in harmony, and practice upon the rules of benevolence, what can be conceived more childish or improbable, by any person who has seen the world or known any thing of human nature! And yet such is the plan and expectation of the leaders of practical Atheism.
 * Catharine Beecher, in Letters on the Dllfiiculties of Religion (1836), Letter III.

 * Thou needest to be very right, Robert, for thou art very positive.
 * Advice to Owen by David Dale, father of Owen's wife, Caroline.

 * At this juncture, there came forward as a reformer a manufacturer 29-years-old – a man of almost sublime, childlike simplicity of character, and at the same time one of the few born leaders of men. Robert Owen had adopted the teaching of the materialistic philosophers: that man’s character is the product, on the one hand, of heredity; on the other, of the environment of the individual during his lifetime, and especially during his period of development. In the industrial revolution most of his class saw only chaos and confusion, and the opportunity of fishing in these troubled waters and making large fortunes quickly. He saw in it the opportunity of putting into practice his favorite theory, and so of bringing order out of chaos. ...The newly-created gigantic productive forces, hitherto used only to enrich individuals and to enslave the masses, offered to Owen the foundations for a reconstruction of society; they were destined, as the common property of all, to be worked for the common good of all.
 * Friedrich Engels. Socialism, Utopian and Scientific (1901).

 * No leader ever took so little care as Mr, Owen in guarding his own reputation. He scarcely protested when others attached his name to schemes which were not his.
 * George Holyoake in: The History of Co-operation in England (1875; 1902).

 * It is said by parrot-minded critics that Owen was "a man of one idea," whereas he was a man of more ideas than any public man England knew in his day. … The truth is he succeeded in more things than any public man ever undertook. If he made more promises than he fulfilled, he fulfilled more than any other public man ever made.
 * George Holyoake. Dedicatory address at the unveiling of a monument for Owen's grave, Newtown, Wales (12 July 1902).

 * He cared for no cause that reason could not win. There never was a more cautious innovator, a more practical dreamer, or a more reasoning revolutionist.
 * George Holyoake. Dedicatory address at the unveiling of a monument for Owen's grave, Newtown, Wales (12 July 1902).

 * Thanks to the doctrine of national environment which Owen was the first to preach — Knowledge is greater; Life is longer; Health is surer...
 * George Holyoake. Dedicatory address at the unveiling of a monument for Owen's grave, Newtown, Wales (12 July 1902).

 * I think that everyone who is compelled to look closely into the problem of popular education, must be led to Owen's conclusions that the infants' school is, so to speak, the key of the position. Robert Owen, discerned this great fact, and had the courage and patience to work out his theory into a practical reality. That is his claim — if he had no other — to the enduring gratitude of the people.
 * T. H. Huxley in 1871, as quoted in The Nation Vol. 75 (14 August 1902), p. 131.

 * He organised infants schools. He secured the reduction of the hours of labour for women and children in factories. He was a liberal supporter of the earliest efforts to obtain national education. He laboured to promote international arbitration. He was one of the foremost Britons who taught men to aspire to a higher social state by reconciling the interests of capital and labour. He spent his life and a large fortune in seeking to improve his fellowmen by giving them education, self-reliance, and moral worth. His life was sanctified by human affection and lofty effort.
 * Epitaph on the Owen Memorial in Kensal Green Cemetery, London, England.

 * The modern history of Europe is littered with the projects of the politics of Rationalism. The most sublime of these is, perhaps, that of Robert Owen for 'a world convention to emancipate the human race from ignorance, poverty, division, sin and misery' - so sublime that even a Rationalist (but without much justification) might think it eccentric. But not less characteristic are the diligent search of the present generation for an innocuous power which may safely be made so great as to be able to control all other powers in the human world, and the common disposition to believe that political machinery can take the place of moral and political education.
 * Michael Oakeshott, "Rationalism in Politics" (1947), published in Rationalism in Politics and other essays (1962).

 * I would class Owen in a triad as one of the three men who have in this generation given an impulse to the moral world, Clarkson and Dr. Bell are the other two.
 * Robert Southey, as quoted in The History of Co-operation in England : The Pioneer Period (1975).

 * I have always looked upon Owen as my first teacher in the philosophy of human nature and my first guide through the labyrinth of social science. He influenced my character more than I then knew, and now that I have read his life and most of his great works, I am fully convinced that he was the greatest of social reformers and the real founder of Modern Socialism.
 * Alfred Russel Wallace, My Life, Volume One (1905); reprinted in Andrew Berry (ed.) Infinite Tropics: An Alfred Russel Wallace Anthology Verso Books (2002).

 * Of the early management pioneers, history has provided us with the best records for four men: Robert Owen, Charles Babbage, Andrew Ure, and Charles Dupin.
 * Daniel A. Wren & Arthur G. Bedeian, The Evolution of Management Thought (1972); (6th ed 2009) p. 70-71.

Talk:The Perks of Being a Wallflower

p.52 - "This moment will just be another story someday."
This quote is very similar to a lyric from the Puerto Rican band Puya's 1999 album Fundamental. The final line in the Song "Montate" is: "Trata de disfrutar el momento - lo que viene despues es solo un cuento mas" which translates to "Try to enjoy the moment - what comes after is just another story". The album came out 1 month before the book was published, so I don't think it was copied, just a coincidence. Possibly means it was derived from a third source. Sublium

Newsies

Newsies is a 1992 Disney live action film musical starring Christian Bale, David Moscow and Bill Pullman. It was written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White, directed by Kenny Ortega.

Newsies is based on the true story of the Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City, who sold newspapers for Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall). Two newsboys, Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) and David Jacobs (David Moscow) are aided by newspaper reporter Bryan Denton (Bill Pullman) and vaudeville performer Medda (Ann-Margaret), as well as being hindered by Snyder (Kevin Tighe), warden of "The Refuge" juvenile detention facility, and Pulitzer. They get every newsie from all of New York to team up and strike against the big-shot newspapermen. A Thousand Voices. A Single Dream. (taglines)

Jack Kelly

 * [singing] When I dream on my own I'm alone but I ain't lonely. For a dreamer, night's the only time-a day.
 * Well, dat's da foist thing ya gotta learn - headlines don't sell papes. Newsies sell papes.
 * You got no brains! Why are we starting to fight each other? It's just what the big shots want to see that we're street trash; street rats with no brains with no respect for nothin' including ourselves! So here's how it is: if we don't act together, then we're nothin', if we don't stick together, we're nothin', and if we can't even trust each other, then we're nothin'.
 * [singing] We're a union just by sayin' so.
 * Runnin'!
 * Remember Crutchie? (Said to Morris Delancy before headbutting him)
 * We sell together, we split 70-30, plus you get the benefit of observin' me no charge!
 * Nope, it's nineteen Weasel. It's nineteen, but don't worry about it; it's an honest mistake. See Morris, he can't count to twenty with his shoes on.
 * If I hate the headline I'll make up a headline and I'll say anything I havta!

Racetrack Higgins

 * Look at this. "Baby Born With Two Heads". Must be from Brooklyn.
 * Oh, you mean Jack Kelly. Yeah, he was here. But he put an egg in his shoe and...beat it.
 * In 1899, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of newsies, peddling the papers of Joseph Pulitzer, William Randalph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw them carrying the banner, bringing you the news for a penny a pape. Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army without a leader, until one day all that changed.
 * Five bucks? We ain't got five bucks! We ain't even got five cents! Hey your honor how bout I roll ya for it, double or nothin'?
 * Five to one that Cowboy skunks 'em! Huh, who's bettin'?
 * Hey Cowboy! Nice shine-a'!
 * What are we supposed to do to the bums, kiss 'em?
 * Hey, glum and dumb! What'sa matta with you? You get your picture in the papes, you're famous. You're famous, you get anything you want! That's what's so great about New York!

Spot Conlon
Spot:Hey, Your Honor, I object! Judge:On what grounds? Spot: On the grounds of Brooklyn.
 * I say, that what you say...is what I say.
 * Never fear, Brooklyn is here!
 * Listen, they're gonna be playing with my hands alright. Cuz it ain't what they say, it's what we say. And nobody ain't gonna listen to us unless we make 'em.
 * Well if it ain't Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.,
 * That ain't good enough Jackie-boy, you gotta show me.

Crutchie

 * It's this brain of mine, always makin' mistakes. It's got a mind of its own!
 * When ya' learn from Jack, ya' learn from the best.
 * You can't let 'em beat ya, right Jack? That's what you always said!

Dialogue

 * Jack: If we go on strike, then we are a union, right?
 * David: No. We're just a bunch of angry kids with no money.

 * Jack: Extra, extra, read all about it! Ellis Island in flames big conflablataion!
 * David: Hey, where's that story?
 * Jack: Page nine. Thousands Flee in Panic!
 * David: "Trash Fire Next To Immigration Building Terrifies Seagulls"?
 * Jack: Terrified Flight from Inferno!

 * David: My father taught us not to lie.
 * Jack: Well, mine told me not to starve; so we both have an education.

 * David: You're a liar! You lied about everything. You lied about your father being out west, 'cause he's not out west! You didn't even tell me your real name!
 * Jack: So? What you wanna do about it Dave?
 * David: I don't understand you.
 * Jack: Oh, so let me spell it out for you. You see, I ain't got nobody tucking me in at night, like you. It's just me, I gotta look out for myself.
 * David: You had the Newsies!
 * Jack: Oh, what'd being a Newsie ever give me but a dime a day and a few black eyes? You know, I can't afford to be a kid no more, Dave. For the first time in my life, I got money in my pockets. Real money. Money, you understand? I got more on the way and as soon as I collect, I'm gone, I'm away.
 * David: Well, that's good! That's good because we don't need you! We don't need you! All those words you said, those were mine.
 * Jack: Yeah, but you never had the guts to put them across yourself, did ya?
 * David: I do now.

 * Jack: Heya, Race.
 * Racetrack: Hey Jack.
 * Jack: How was your day at the track?
 * Racetrack: You know that hot tip I told you about? Nobody told the horse.

 * Jack: We gotta get the word out to every newsie in New York! We need some of those...whadja call 'em?
 * David: Ambassadors?
 * Jack: Right. Okay, you guys gotta be ambastards...

 * Jack: Didja miss me, Weasel? Huh, didja? Didja miss me?
 * Weasel: I've told ya a million times...it's Wisel, and that's Mr. Wisel to you. How many?
 * Jack: Don't rush me, I'm perusin' the merchandise, Mr. Weasel!

 * Mush: So how'd ya sleep Jack?

 * Mush: Look at you Jack! You look like a gentleman!
 * Jack: Will ya please get ya fingers off my face.
 * Spot: Where does it say my name? Where's my name?
 * Jack: Will ya quit thinkin' about yourself?

 * Jack: So what about Brooklyn? Who wants Brooklyn? C'mon, Spot Conlon's territory. What'sa matta, you scared a Brooklyn?
 * Boots: [Aggresively] Hey, we ain't scared a Brooklyn! [Quieter] Spot Conlon makes us a little noivous.

 * World Employee: Hooligans!
 * Jack: So's your old lady! You tell Pulitzer he needs an appointment with me!
 * Les: [Through the crack of the closing door] Yeah!

 * David: Alright. Everyone, remain calm!
 * [Pause. Awkward tension.]
 * Jack: Let's soak 'em for Crutchy!

 * Ten Pin: Hey Cowboy! You miss the joint?
 * Jack: Whatd'ya say, Ten Pin? Listen, you got a new guy in there, Crutchy.

George Wade

 * I can't believe how small this apartment is, it's actually shocking! It's a very good thing your parents went to the movies, we'd never have squeezed in! You realize, I can actually move from one side of this apartment to the other in 6 seconds. Watch this, 1....
 * Your mother is terrifying. I thought she was going to cut me up and feed me to the poor.

Dialogue

 * Lucy: I think you are the most selfish person on the planet.
 * George: Well that's just silly. Have you met everyone on the planet?

 * June: Chess. I love chess. You know what I love even more than chess?
 * George: ...Pokémon?
 * June: Strip Chess.

 * Lucy: What did I tell you that defines an emergency?
 * George: A large meteoroid, severe blood loss and uh... what was the other thing?
 * Lucy: Death! And you're not dead!

 * Tony: Nobody wins or loses when it comes to women. You just talk about your feelings until all your breath is sucked out your body. All men are pawns when it comes to women. Especially a smart one like Lucy. She's hard to control, and you know the man has got to be control. Okay, like with me. I come home, when I walk in, I KNOW my Mama has dinner on the table!"
 * George: Alright, so..you're.... still living at home?
 * Tony: Yeah...yeah. Of course.

 * Lucy: Alright, here's somebody interesting, Polly St. Clair
 * George: Well, that's a terrific resume, Polly. And...uh..Congratulations on the baby.
 * Polly: What baby?
 * Lucy: [whispering to George]: Maybe you should check with me before you talk
 * Polly: What baby?
 * Lucy: [to Polly] I'd like to talk to you about your moot-court experience.
 * Polly: What baby??
 * George: Yeah, what baby, heh??

Do we really need the subcategories Category:Films by language and Category:Films by setting? They are all empty and don't really appear to be necessary. Any thoughts by anyone? ~ UDScott 20:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, we now have a Category:Moon-related films which is a sort of Category:Films by setting, but is for some reason categorized in Category:Adventure films. Hmm... On a related note, I am unsure of the intended use of the Category:Technology films that you created recently. I am not aware of any classification that treats technology tropes as a distinct film genre or science fiction subgenre. ~ Ningauble 20:13, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * All that I did was take the category used in Wikipedia Category:Films about technology and applied it here. On WP, this category is further subdivided into films about computers, nuclear war, space, robots, etc. I just thought the more general category could be used here. But if you feel it is not warranted, feel free to nominate it for deletion and we can discuss it there. I'm not so infatuated with it that I wouldn't be persuaded to change my opinion, but I thought it would be a useful way to group films that have technology as a theme. ~ UDScott 20:21, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really object to this sort of indexing. I can see that it has some usefulness even though it bears little relation to the taxonomies of genre in literary criticism, and even though I have doubts about the average youthful contributor's ability to distinguish between films that are actually about technology and, e.g., space operas that merely employ imagined technologies in their milieu. I would have more reservations about doing this in fictional Literature by genre, and I would not want the precedent to lead to individual productions being categorized under dozens of tropes or themes. We can navigate these imagined pitfalls if we actually come across them. ~ Ningauble 16:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
