This page archives requests in 2005.

Kalki
I am already an administrator (sysop), but have begun requesting "Bureaucrat" status for myself, so that more sysops can be created within the project, without having to go elsewhere for the recieving of sysop status. ~ Kalki 20:20, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: Kalki is the most active sysop on this project and it is helpful that each project has its own bureaucrat. --Aphaia 17:36, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * More support. I didn't realize this project had any other sysops. He's running the show; might as well acknowledge it. --RPickman 18:45, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Clearly he is a busy bee around here. Are there any bureaucrats on this project? I see a list of Admin at the bottom of this page. Rmhermen 15:33, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Kalki has been, to me, by far the most useful human resource on Wikiquote (and we've got some really good folks here, too!). I've always been able to turn to him for help with tricky questions or issues, and he's been the most active admin on all the situations I've been involved in. — Jeff Q (talk) 23:14, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Became bureaucrat 31 March 2005.

Sams (Iddo999)
Hello everyone, I'd like to be an admin here. I've been working mostly on the Noam Chomsky page so far, comments are welcomed of course... Thanks:) Sams 18:22, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for all the comments. Just adding a note here that I'm still interested... Sams 14:43, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Neutral: I don't know Sams personally and am afraid his activities and interests are "narrow and deep". I have seldom seen his maintenance activity or participant to discussion. But he seems to be on a good faith, therefore I am neutral on him. --Aphaia 10:04, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: Sams is currently active on both VP and VFD. He have a will to fight vandalism. Though he are still learning how the system works or policies are built, it doesn't mean he is too young to work as sysop on the project, I suppose. All of us are learning on this ever-growing project. And I think it is good for Wikquote sysop team to introduce a new blood. --Aphaia 18:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Sams' general activity on the wiki has expanded since the March application for adminship, and some of my previous concerns that this activity perhaps exhibited too narrow a focus of interests has diminished. I believe most of us were then reluctant to make any definite assessments, based on the limited activity we had to go on, at that time. ~ Kalki 12:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: Sams has been increasing participation in VfD and fighting vandalism, and he was instrumental in getting our nascent IRC channel going. I think he'll be a useful addition to the sysop team. — Jeff Q (talk) 13:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. This should not be a big deal, as Jimbo has said. Everything I have seen about this (still quite new) user has been positive. jni 06:21, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sams is now a sysop. ~ Kalki 04:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Sams, by request, was renamed to Iddo999 ~ Kalki 11:40, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Jeff Q
I am nominating Jeff Q as an administrator (sysop) here. He has proven himself both a skillful and helpful user, with much to contribute. I have asked him if he is interested, and he has confirmed that he is. ~ Kalki 20:20, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Kalki has already mentioned that I accepted his nomination (via talk pages), but I see you'd like me to reply here, so here's my explicit acceptance. Thank you for your consideration, whatever you decide. — Jeff Q (talk) 23:17, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. --Aphaia 17:40, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, I strongly support making Jeff Q an administrator. His knowledge is impressive. He's been a huge help in teaching me wiki basics, and has done so with commendable patience. --RPickman 16:52, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Became an admin (sysop) 31 March 2005

Aphaia
Aphaia is already an admin on the Japanese Wikiquote since August 2004, and has periodically created many interlang links with the Wikiquote projects in other languages, which is a very important way to help expand all the projects. I am thus nominating Aphaia for adminship here. ~ Kalki 13:35, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind introduction and notices, Kalki, I accept hereby your nomination gratefully. As Kalki refered, on Japanese Wikiquote I am active mainly, but I care for English Wikipedia, specially for promoting multilingualism of the entire Wikiquote project. it is therefore my great preasure to cotribute to this project being more involved. I will appliciate your consideration, whatever you will decide. --Aphaia 14:34, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah I forgot to add I had been a temp sysop on Ja.wq (and parmanent since last fall). Now I am a sysop on meta and Wikimania wiki, and an editor on the Foundation wiki. --Aphaia 17:40, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Aphaia's multilingual background can provide a uniquely useful perspective for the admin crew. — Jeff Q (talk) 07:36, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Became an admin (sysop) 31 March 2005

Rmhermen
Rmhermen has been an administrator at the English Wikipedia since 5 July 2004, and has become very active here recently, performing many checks and cleanups of the articles. I am thus nominating him for adminship here. ~ Kalki 13:35, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I gratefully accept this nomination. Mostly I have been doing cleanup but I do own an old public domain copy of Bartlett's. I have also been trying to invigorate the category scheme. I suspect Kalki has nominated me because I nominated so many blank pages for deletion. Rmhermen 16:10, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: according to the French Wikipedia (and other projects), if you visit frequently VfD, then you are in danger to nominate as a sysop candidate ... *g. Anyway the clean-up is one of main tasks of administrators, if I understand correctly. --Aphaia 17:44, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: Knack for cleanup and proofreading are perfect for this particular project. --RPickman 18:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Support: Rmhermen's cleanup and maintenance efforts alone are an important aid to the growth of Wikiquote.— Jeff Q (talk) 23:44, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Became an admin (sysop) 31 March 2005

RPickman
RPickman, while relatively new to the Wikimedia projects, has been an active and responsible contributor here since 31 December 2004, and has shown interest in considerably expanding the Movie quote articles. I am thus nominating him for adminship here. ~ Kalki 13:35, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm flattered by the nomination, but think I should decline. I'm still learning some pretty basic stuff (see most of Jeffq(talk) for partial details) and am still embarrassingly prone to blunders. I'm afraid at this point I'd potentially do more harm than good as an admin. I'd also be nearly useless in terms of giving pointers to newbies (aside from "contact an admin who knows what he's doing"). In short, I just don't think I'm up to the job - but again, thanks. ~ RPickman

 * Since he is declining for now, this nomination will remain dormant until he feels more comfortable with things; but eventually, whenever he feels ready anytime in the months ahead, I believe he will make a good admin. That he is intent on helping the project grow, and has a proven will to act responsibly are definitely two of the things that matter most. ~ Kalki 01:02, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

jni
--Aphaia 09:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I nominate jni for a sysop candidate. Jni is fairly active on English Wikiquote with over 200 edits as for today. Jni has been active since April 8, very recent, so not a Wikiquote oldbies, but experienced on English Wikipedia as a sysop, and even we consider Jni's activities only on this wiki, Jni's edits prove this editor is skillful with a serious concern to the project, both on article edits, maintenance and on project related discussions like block policy. And Jni's attention to vandalism on this wiki is really respectable.
 * I'm glad to accept. Thanks Aphaia! Since I'm still relatively new user here, I would like to ask others to check also my contributions to other wikis, if they want to do a "background check". I have been dealing with vandals in English Wikipedia almost daily for last six months, and no (legitimate) user has complained so far. In Wikiquote, I intend to continue adding new material, mostly about people or films, and also keep us in synch with Wikipedia and the (still very small) Finnish Wikiquote. jni 10:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Jni has been doing everything a non-sysop can do to help with recent vandalisms and other infrastructure issues. Wikiquote would greatly benefit from his sysop experience from other wikis. — Jeff Q (talk) 10:23, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. He is already doing a lot of good behind the scences work around here. Rmhermen 14:21, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Jni's work is impressive, and I recognize the immediate need for new sysops, with the growing activity (and vandalism) that we are experiencing. ~ Kalki 16:12, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Jni cleaned up after me by adding my newly created page (Richard Halliburton) to List of people by name. Wikiquote needs such people to help get the ball really rolling. -- Tetraminoe 06:53, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Jni is now a sysop. ~ Kalki 01:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

MosheZadka
As I had hinted earlier (in a VP discussion, I believe), I would like to nominate MosheZadka for sysop. He has been editing here not quite three months, but he's made over 1300 edits, worked on a growing variety of articles, added quite a few himself, participated in some ugly anti-vandalism efforts, and been a regular VfD contributor. Furthermore, he and I have had some significant disagreements on some issues, which I perversely enjoy because it keeps me on my toes. I think he would make a useful and energetic addition to the sysop team. — Jeff Q (talk) 5 July 2005 04:28 (UTC)
 * I hereby accept your nomination. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 5 July 2005 04:41 (UTC)
 * Support, of course, as I nominated him. (Sorry 'bout any confusion by my omission.) — Jeff Q (talk) 5 July 2005 07:26 (UTC)
 * Support Though his and my preferences are different, he is now a integrited part of our community, very industrious. And I appreciate his efforts to organize TV shows quotes. His concerns to build the community, for example, organizing QoTD vote or his latest proposal of Featured Article (see WQ:VP) are very suggestive and helpful. --Aphaia 5 July 2005 04:33 (UTC)
 * Support - many of his preferences seem to differ from mine as well, but this is a good thing. Diversity is definitely welcome in collecting the wit, wisdom, and weirdness of the world that is exhibited in quotations. ~ Kalki 5 July 2005 04:39 (UTC)
 * Support - he does more administrative work than anyone else. Sams 5 July 2005 05:13 (UTC)
 * Support. Agree with other's opinions above. jni 17:45, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

MosheZadka is now a sysop. ~ Kalki 06:02, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

UDScott
I am nominating UDScott to be an admin. He has done much excellent work here over the past few months and has shown great interest and involvement in developing the project's film and TV pages, among others. I have asked if he was interested and he responded that he would be. Further comments and voting on the matter is invited. ~ Kalki 15:50, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I accept this nomination and look forward to contributing even more to Wikiquote. Thanks! UDScott 16:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Support has contributed wonderful pages, works great with others ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Good nomination. Such a tireless editor will be a good asset of Wikiquote. --Aphaia 17:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, with reservations. UDScott is undeniably a conscientious editor, and has contributed excellent material to Wikiquote. My concern is that such an editor has no need of admin capabilities unless they participate in maintenance activity that is enhanced by sysop rights (e.g., vandal reversion, VfD participation), which UDScott has not done in any substantial way to date. However, two points reduce the import of my concern. First is the Wikipedia principle that adminship is "no big deal"; i.e., is mainly based on solid, sustained contributions (by which UDScott definitely qualifies), and is not directly predicated on maintenance work. The latter is traditionally expected even on WP, but it's become a near-requirement here only because we're so short on editors willing to do maintenance. Second, I'm hardly in a position to raise objections to lack of maintenance activity, as I've become practically useless on that point myself. (If I don't recover from my current spate of uselessness soon, I might even request de-adminship.) Ultimately, I support UDScott because I think he (?) will continue to do good work here, and is certainly doing much more of it than I am now. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:42, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Good point. Also I am much happier if I see UDScott more involved into maintenance work like voting on WQ:VFD. There are now some controversial arguments which welcome voters as many as possible. --Aphaia 21:31, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I know you weren't necessarily looking for a dialogue here, but I wanted to say that the point is taken. I had previously been spending most of my time adding pages and tweaking my favorites. My forays into the other "sysop" activities you mention have been few and far between mainly because I wasn't quite sure if it was my place. I've obviously since learned differently, and I've been more watchful of vandals lately -- although truthfully, again watching pages of interest to me more than others. I will join in such activities more now. Truth be told, I'm happy plugging away as I have been, since there is still so much more material that I would like to add, but if you choose to have me join the ranks, I will certainly contribute more in these other areas. I would consider it my duty to the rest of the community.UDScott 21:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Support --iddo999 13:45, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

UDScott is now an administrator ~ Kalki 08:59, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Braveheart

This is actually a quote from the Braveheart film, spoken by Mel Gibson. To my knowledge, there is no source which shows Wallace actually spoke these lines. - Berek(wikipedia) 5th April 2005

 * Thank you for your comment. I don't know either of them, so I can't judge, but it makes a sense. This seems to be spoken in the Modern English, not Middle English spoken in that era. So it should be moved or merged with Braveheart?--Aphaia 13:07, 5 Apr 2005

(UTC)

 * William Wallace's real quotes should not be merged with those of Mel Gibson in Brave Heart. Eagleamn 14:39, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

Glad to see this got cleaned up - looks much better - Berek 5th August 2005

Quote missing
The most famous quote of that movie is They can take our lives, but they can never take our freedom or something like that. I don't understand how it's not in here.
 * It's there -- check out the seventh piece of dialogue. It's at the end of that. (Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!) ~ UDScott 17:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Move to Wikisource

In the past, many full speeches and other complete works have been moved from Wikiquote to Wikisource, with the following link left in the article:
 * This speech has been transferred to Wikisource:Speeches

This was apparently done to preserve the link between projects that the transwiki process insists on. However, there are two problems with this approach: This may very well have been done to save time when a massive amount of material was being moved by a very small number of people.
 * This link doesn't act like a standard redirect, so the reader winds up looking at an administrative message rather than the content they expect.
 * The link doesn't point directly to the transwiki'd article, just to a general Wikisource page, from which one must still look up the relevant article.

Now a question has been raised on Votes for deletion (under the entry for A Tryst With Destiny) about whether we should keep or delete these pages, or perhaps edit them to provide more useful linkage. I suggest we discuss alternatives here and decide how we want to handle these and future transwiki candidates. — Jeff Q (talk) 15:23, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I think these page are harmful because they first do not show the content the title implies or direct you to it correctly. Secondly the discourage anyone from adding legitimate quotes to these possible articles as it appears a "executive decision" has already been made not to have a Wikiquote article on these subjects. Better I think to delete them and allow them to be recreated without obstacles as "proper" pages. Listing the contribution history on the talk page at Wikisource should be more than adequate. Rmhermen 03:57, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Rmhermen, those are excellent points that also demonstrate a problem with the generic transwiki process. On the one hand, we want to have a link to the full works, if they're available; on the other, we really want to encourage people to add excerpts here, which I agree this format discourages. Perhaps we could add a procedure for Wikiquote->Wikisource moves that somehow gets the full article (with history) moving toward Wikisource, but leaves a legitimate (possibly stubby) quote article here. I don't want to take any serious actions (like deletions) until we have a chance to figure out how best to do this. (That implies that I should get moving on getting transwiki docs over here, which I'm behind on. ☺) — Jeff Q (talk) 04:32, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe that the pages for speeches which have already been transferred to Wikisource can be safely deleted from here. The history of edits were transferred to the talk pages of the new pages at Wikisource and that should suffice. The transfers date from some of my own earliest days as a sysop, when I was far more reluctant to delete some things than I am now, and I probably created the links to direct people towards the relatively new Wikisource project as the place to properly add full speeches. I actually created the page for speeches at Wikisource, and it originally had a far different appearance (and far fewer speeches) than it does now. ~ Kalki 04:45, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I think Jef Q's proposal very neat but doubt its scalability at the same time. So I prefer to hae it not as a rule but a recommendation. Simple deletion is ok if the history is adequately preserved (and here it is). So personally I like to keep them as a redirect but don't oppose to delete them.
 * By the way would you let me make a silly question? Where can I get teh list of those already moved articles? On this category I can find nothing but Polybius ... --Aphaia 07:20, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't see the scaleability issue. The list Rmhermen came up with is a years' worth of moved articles. Normally, we won't have that many people creating entire speeches. HOWEVER, the more I think about it, the more I realize it isn't really necessary to leave even a stub behind, because most quotes aren't listed by speech name, but by person. If someone is really anxious to quote elements of a speech in a separate article (when they could instead add to the person's article, even emphasizing it with its own section), I suppose they could just create a new article, and they won't be discouraged by Wikisource link, as Rmhermen noted. That said, I guess I favor deletion rather than redirect, to avoid surprising people with an unannounced interproject jump. (That happened to me yesterday, when somehow I clicked on a Wikiquote link and got the Wikisource main page. It was quite disturbing.) But I could go with redirect if it went directly to the appropriate article instead of the main page. — Jeff Q (talk) 09:28, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

MediaWiki talk:Recentchangestext

/Archive 1

This page is for suggestions on what to include at the top of the Recent changes page.

Redesign
I just overhauled the page, using species:MediaWiki:Recentchangestext as a guideline. I kept all the links; this was just a visual overhaul, not a content one. The only thing I changed was to break Votes and Maintenance into separate sections. I also thru some noinclude tags around the interwikis, in case someone wants to transclude this onto a page in their userspace, and added a unique ID ("rchangestext-extralinks") to the "edit this page | talk" links so that they can disable it for themselves in their monobook if they so choose.

For those that are curious: before and after.

Personally, I think it looks much better, though I'll admit that it is smaller text than before; this is partly due to the fact that there is so much stuff crammed into the template. I personally think it could do with some pruning, but that's just me. EVula // talk // ☯  // 04:11, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Since it appears that the redesign is a bit of a hit, I'm going to spin out some of the styles into actual classes; that will allow users to override the background colors on a per-person basis (and will write up instructions on how to turn them off). Yay for customizing. :) EVula // talk // ☯  // 22:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It looks much better than before, and it doesn't take as much space. Thank you, EVula. – RyanCross (talk ) 06:59, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the alignment and compactness, but I don't care for color bars. Perhaps Stubs—No-intro—Cleanup could be moved from Useful to Maintenance.~ Ningauble 12:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the look of it - I don't have a feeling one way or the other on the color bars, but I do agree that Stubs, No intro, and Cleanup should probably be categorized under Maintenance. Good job! ~ UDScott 19:33, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've moved those three links into Maintenance.

Does anybody agree that we should add a Special:Contributions/newbies link so we can have a link on Special:RecentChanges that shows the contributions done by new editors? – RyanCross (talk ) 04:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, and as a Cabal of One, I've added it to the table. :) I added it under Maintenance, as those are generally all things that need patrolling by someone anyway. EVula // talk // ☯  // 16:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Yep, that's perfectly fine were you have placed the link. Thank you, EVula. :) – RyanCross (talk ) 06:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

When Harry Met Sally...

When Harry Met Sally... is a 1989 film about love and friendship, and the question of whether men and women can be friends.
 * Directed by Rob Reiner. Written by Nora Ephron.

Can two friends sleep together and still love each other in the morning? taglines

Harry Burns

 * Had my dream again where I'm making love, and the Olympic judges are watching. I'd nailed the compulsories, so this is it, the finals. I got a 9.8 from the Canadians, a perfect 10 from the Americans, and my mother, disguised as an East German judge, gave me a 5.6. Must have been the dismount.

 * [leaving a message for Sally] The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe you're either (a) not at home, (b) home but don't want to talk to me, or (c) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it's either (a) or (c), please call me back.

Dialogue

 * Sally: Amanda mentioned you had a dark side.
 * Harry: That's what drew her to me.
 * Sally: Your dark side?
 * Harry: Sure. Why? Don't you have a dark side? I know, you're probably one of those cheerful people who dot their "i's" with little hearts.
 * Sally: I have just as much of a dark side as the next person.
 * Harry: When I buy a new book, I always read the last page first. That way, in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side.
 * Sally: That doesn't mean you're deep or anything. I mean, yes, basically I'm a happy person...
 * Harry: So am I.
 * Sally: ...and I don't see that there's anything wrong with that.
 * Harry: Of course not. You're too busy being happy. Do you ever think about death?
 * Sally: Yes.
 * Harry: Sure you do. A fleeting thought that drifts in and out of the transom of your mind. I spend hours, I spend days...
 * Sally: - and you think this makes you a better person?
 * Harry: Look, when the shit comes down, I'm gonna be prepared and you're not, that's all I'm saying.
 * Sally: And in the meantime, you're gonna ruin your whole life waiting for it.

 * Harry: With whom did you have this great sex?
 * Sally: I'm not going to tell you that.
 * Harry: Fine, don't tell me.
 * Sally: Shel Gordon.
 * Harry: Shel? Sheldon? No, no, you did not have great sex with Sheldon.
 * Sally: I did too.
 * Harry: No you didn't. A Sheldon can do your income taxes, if you need a root canal, Sheldon's your man... but humpin' and pumpin' is not Sheldon's strong suit. It's the name. 'Do it to me Sheldon, you're an animal Sheldon, ride me big Shel-don.' Doesn't work.

 * Harry: You realize, of course, that we can never be friends.
 * Sally: Why not?
 * Harry: What I'm saying is — and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form — is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
 * Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
 * Harry: No you don't.
 * Sally: Yes I do.
 * Harry: No you don't.
 * Sally: Yes I do.
 * Harry: You only think you do.
 * Sally: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
 * Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you.
 * Sally: They do not.
 * Harry: Do too.
 * Sally: They do not.
 * Harry: Do too.
 * Sally: How do you know?
 * Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
 * Sally: So you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
 * Harry: No, you pretty much want to nail 'em too.
 * Sally: What if they don't want to have sex with you?
 * Harry: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
 * Sally: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
 * Harry: Guess not.
 * Sally: That's too bad. You were the only person that I knew in New York.

 * Harry: You take someone to the airport, it's clearly the beginning of the relationship. That's why I have never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship.
 * Sally: Why?
 * Harry: Because eventually things move on and you don't take someone to the airport and I never wanted anyone to say to me "How come you never take me to the airport any more?"
 * Sally: It's amazing. You look like a normal person, but actually you are the angel of death.

 * Harry: I'm getting married.
 * Sally: You are? Who is she?
 * Harry: Her nam is Helen Hilson. She's a lawyer. She's keeping her name.
 * Sally: Well, that's just so optimistic of you, Harry.
 * Harry: You'd be surprised by what falling madly in love will do to you. Plus, you know you just get to a certain point where you get tired of the whole thing.
 * Sally: What "whole thing"?
 * Harry: The whole life-of-a-single-guy thing. You meet someone, you have the safe lunch, you decide you like each other enough to move on to dinner. You go dancing, you do the white-man's over-bite, go back to her place, you have sex and the minute you're finished you know what goes through your mind? How long do I have to lie here and hold her before I can get up and go home. Is thirty seconds enough?
 * Sally: That's what you're thinking? Is that true?
 * Harry: Sure! All men think that. How long do you want to be held afterwards? All night, right? See there's your problem, somewhere between thirty seconds and all night is your problem.
 * Sally: I don't have a problem!
 * Harry: Yeah you do.

 * Harry: Would you like to have dinner? ...Just friends.
 * Sally: I thought you didn't believe men and women could be friends.
 * Harry: When did I say that?
 * Sally: On the ride to New York.
 * Harry: No, no, no, no, I never said that... Yes, that's right, they can't be friends...unless both of them are involved with other people. Then they can. This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted. That doesn't work either. Because what happens then is the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with, like it means something is missing from the relationship and wanted to go outside to get it. Then when you say, 'No, no, no, no, it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship,' the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are - I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it - which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends. So where does it leave us?
 * Sally: Goodbye Harry.

 * Sally: At least I got the apartment.
 * Harry: That's what everyone says. But, really, what's so hard about finding an apartment? What you do is look in the obituary section. You see who died, find out where they lived, and tip the doorman. What they could do to make it easier is combine the two. You know, Mr. Kline died yesterday, leaving behind a wife, two children, and a spacious three bedroom apartment with a wood burning fireplace.

 * Harry: You know, the first time we met, I really didn't like you that much -
 * Sally: I didn't like you.
 * Harry: Yeah you did. You were just so uptight then. You're much softer now.
 * Sally: You know, I hate that kind of remark. It sounds like a compliment, but really it's an insult.
 * Harry: OK, you're still as hard as nails.
 * Sally: I just didn't want to sleep with you, and you had to write it off as a character flaw instead of dealing with the possibility that it might have something to do with you.
 * Harry: What's the statute of limitations on apologies?
 * Sally: Ten years.
 * Harry: Ooh. I can just get it in under the wire.
 * Sally: Harry, would you like to have dinner with me sometime?
 * Harry: Great. A woman friend. You know, you may be the first attractive woman I've not wanted to sleep with in my entire life.
 * Sally: That's great, Harry.

 * Harry: I knew the whole time that even though we were happy, it was just an illusion and that one day she would kick the shit out of me.
 * Jess: Marriages don't break up on account of infidelity - it's just a symptom that something else is wrong.
 * Harry: Oh really? Well, that symptom is fucking my wife.

 * Sally: The first date back is always the toughest, Harry.
 * Harry: You only had one date. How do you know it's not going to get worse?
 * Sally: How much worse can it get than finishing dinner, having him reach over, pull a hair out of my head and start flossing with it at the table?
 * Harry: We're talking dream date compared to my horror. It started out fine, she's a very nice person, and we're sitting and we're talking at this Ethiopian restaurant that she wanted to go to. And I was making jokes, you know like, "Hey I didn't know that they had food in Ethiopia? This will be a quick meal. I'll order two empty plates and we can leave." [she laughs] Yeah, nothing from her not even a smile.

 * Sally: I went to bed at 7... 30 last night. I haven't done that since the 3rd grade.
 * Harry: That's the good thing about depression. You get your rest.

 * Jess: I don't understand this relationship.
 * Harry: What do you mean?
 * Jess: You enjoy being with her?
 * Harry: Yeah.
 * Jess: You find her attractive?
 * Harry: Yeah.
 * Jess: And you're not sleeping with her.
 * Harry: No.
 * Jess: You're afraid to let yourself be happy.
 * Harry: Why can't you give me credit for this? This is a big thing for me. I never had a relationship with a woman that didn't involve sex. I feel like I'm growing.
 * Harry: It's very freeing. I can say anything to her.
 * Jess: Are you saying you can say things to her you can't say to me?
 * Harry: Nah, it's just different. It's a whole new perspective. I get the woman's point of view on things. She tells me about the men she goes out with and I can talk to her about the women that I see.
 * Jess: You tell her about other women.
 * Harry: Yeah. Like the other night. I made love to this woman, and it was so incredible, I took her to a place that wasn't human, she actually meowed.
 * Jess: You made a woman meow?
 * Harry: Yeah. That's the point, I can say these things to her. And the great thing is, I don't have to lie because I'm not always thinking about how to get her into bed. I can just be myself.
 * Jess: You made a woman meow?
 * Jess: You made a woman meow?

 * Harry: [while watching Casablanca] There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
 * Sally: And Ingrid Bergman is low maintenance?
 * Harry: An L.M. Definitely.
 * Sally: Which one am I?
 * Harry: You're the worst kind; you're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance.
 * Sally: I don't see that.
 * Harry: You don't see that? Waiter, I'll begin with a house salad, but I don't want the regular dressing. I'll have the balsamic vinegar and oil, but on the side. And then the salmon with the mustard sauce, but I want the mustard sauce on the side. "On the side" is a very big thing for you.
 * Sally: Well, I just want it the way I want it.
 * Harry: I know; high maintenance.

 * Sally: You know, I am so glad I never got involved with you. I just would have ended up being some woman you had to get up out of bed and leave at three o'clock in the morning and go clean your andirons. And you don't even have a fireplace.
 * Harry: Why are you getting so upset about this?
 * Sally: You are a human affront to all women. And I am a woman.
 * Harry: I think they have an OK time.
 * Sally: How do you know?
 * Harry: What do you mean how do I know? I know.
 * Sally: Because they...
 * Harry: Yes, because they...
 * Sally: And how do you know that they really...
 * Harry: What are you saying, that they fake orgasm?
 * Sally: It's possible.
 * Harry: Get outta here!
 * Sally: Why? Most women at one time or another have faked it.
 * Harry: Well they haven't faked it with me.
 * Sally: How do you know?
 * Harry: Because I know.
 * Sally: Oh, right, that's right, I forgot, you're a man.
 * Harry: What is that supposed to mean?
 * Sally: Nothing. It's just that all men are sure it never happened to them and that most women at one time or another have done it so you do the math.
 * Harry: You don't think that I could tell the difference?
 * Sally: No.
 * Harry: Get outta here.
 * [Sally begins to fake an orgasm]
 * Harry: Are you OK?
 * [Sally continues very audibly, attracting the attention of nearly every customer in the cafe. Afterwards, she returns to eating her sandwich]
 * Older Woman Customer: [to waiter] I'll have what she's having.
 * Note: the bolded line is ranked #33 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

 * Sally: I don't have to take this crap from you.
 * Harry: If you're so over Joe, why aren't you seeing anyone?
 * Sally: I see people.
 * Harry: See people? Have you slept with one person since you broke up with Joe?
 * Sally: What the hell does that have to do with anything? That will prove I'm over Joe? Because I fuck somebody? Harry, you're gonna have to move back to New Jersey because you've slept with everybody in New York and I don't see that turning Helen into a faint memory for you. Besides, I will make love to somebody when it is making love. Not the way you do it like you're out for revenge or something.
 * Harry: Are you finished now?
 * Sally: Yes.
 * Harry: Can I say something?
 * Sally: Yes.
 * Harry: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

 * Sally: [Crying] He just met her... She's supposed to be his transitional person, she's not supposed to be the ONE. All this time I thought he didn't want to get married. But, the truth is, he didn't want to marry me. He didn't love me.
 * Harry: If you could take him back now, would you?
 * Sally: No. But why didn't he want to marry me? What's the matter with me?
 * Harry: Nothing.
 * Sally: I'm difficult.
 * Harry: You're challenging.
 * Sally: I'm too structured, I'm completely closed off.
 * Harry: But in a good way.
 * Sally: No, no, no, I drove him away. And I'm going to be forty!
 * Harry: When?
 * Sally: Someday!
 * Harry: In eight years!
 * Sally: But it's there! It's like a big dead end! And it's not the same for men -- Charlie Chaplin had kids in his 70's!
 * Harry: Yeah, but he was too old to pick them up. [she laughs]

 * Harry: Why can't we get past this? I mean, are we gonna carry this thing around forever?
 * Sally: Forever? It just happened!
 * Harry: It happened three weeks ago. You know how a year to a person is like seven years to a dog?
 * Sally: Yes. Is one of us supposed to be a dog in this scenario?
 * Harry: Yes.
 * Sally: Who is the dog?
 * Harry: You are.
 * Sally: I am? I am the dog? I am the dog?
 * Harry: Um-hmm.
 * Sally: I am the dog. I-I don't see that, Harry. If anybody is the dog, you are the dog. You want to act like what happened didn't mean anything.
 * Harry: I'm not saying it didn't mean anything. I am saying why does it have to mean everything?
 * Sally: Because it does! And you should know that better than anybody because the minute that it happens, you walk right out the door.
 * Harry: I didn't walk out.
 * Sally: No, sprinted is more like it.
 * Harry: We both agreed it was a mistake.
 * Sally: The worst mistake I ever made.
 * Harry: What do you want from me?
 * Sally: I don't want anything from you!
 * Harry: Fine. Fine, but let's just get one thing straight. I did not go over there that night to make love to you, that is not why I went there. But you looked up at me with these big weepy eyes, don't go home night Harry, hold me a little longer Harry. What was I supposed to do?
 * Sally: What are you saying, you took pity on me?
 * Harry: No, I was...
 * Sally: Fuck you! [slaps Harry]

 * Harry: I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you.
 * Sally: What?
 * Harry: I love you.
 * Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?
 * Harry: How about, you love me too?
 * Sally: How about, I'm leaving?
 * Harry: Doesn't what I said mean anything to you?
 * Sally: I'm sorry, Harry. I know it's New Year's Eve. I know you're feeling lonely, but you just can't show up here, tell me you love me, and expect that to make everything all right. It doesn't work this way.
 * Harry: Well, how does it work?
 * Sally: I don't know, but not this way.
 * Harry: How about this way? I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
 * Sally: You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, Harry. I really hate you. I hate you.
 * [They kiss]

 * Harry: [about Auld Lang Syne] What does this song mean? My whole life, I don't know what this song means. I mean, 'Should old acquaintance be forgot'. Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances? Or does it mean that if we happened to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot 'em?
 * Sally: Well, maybe it just means that... we should remember that we forgot them, or something. [laughs] Anyway, it's about old friends.
 * [They kiss]

24
I've removed your addition of "24" to the List of films/requested because there is already an article of that name for a very popular English-language TV show, and I could only find a Czech and a Korean film with that name, both of which appear to be obscure (at least in the English-speaking world, which en:Wikiquote primarily serves). If you intended to request a quote article for one of these movies, I would recommend that you add the year to the movie you are requesting — for example, "24 (2001)" — to distinguish it from the TV show. Thank you for your assistance. — Jeff Q (talk) 03:06, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Blazing Saddles

Blazing Saddles is a 1974 western comedy film about a corrupt political boss who, in an attempt to ruin a western town, appoints a black sheriff, who promptly becomes his most formidable adversary.
 * Directed by Mel Brooks. Written by Andrew Bergman, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Al Uger.

Never give a saga an even break!

Governor William J. Le Petomane

 * Work, work, work, work, work, work, work. (turns to the bosom of a female staffer) Hello boys! Have a good night's rest? I missed you!

 * Gentlemen, affairs of state must take precedent over... affairs of state.

Bart

 * Sir, he specifically requested two niggers. Well, to tell the family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.

 * Alright, here we go. Hold your ears, folks. It's showtime!

Lyle

 * Come on, boys! The way you're lollygaggin' around here with them picks and them shovels, you'd think it was a hundert an' twenty degrees...! Can't be more than a hundert an' fourteen! [A Chinese railroad worker collapses from heat exhaustion] Dock that Chink a day's pay for napping on the job.

Hedley Lamarr

 * There might be a legal precedent. Land snatching. [searches books] "L-l-land. See snatch."

 * [monologue to the camera] A sheriff! But law and order is the last thing I want! Wait a minute...maybe I can use this to my advantage. If I could find a sheriff who so offends the people of Rock Ridge that his very appearance would drive them out of town! Wherever will I find such a man? [To the camera] Why am I asking you?

 * [Hailing a cab in Hollywood] Drive me off this picture!

 * You men will be risking only your lives.... whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor!

 * [his last line, after Bart shoots him outside Graumann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood] ...How did he (Douglas Fairbanks) do such fantastic stunts - with such little feet?

Jim (The Waco Kid)

 * It got so that every piss-ant prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into town to try out the Waco Kid. I must've killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the word "draw" in my sleep. Then one day, I was just walking down the street...and I heard a voice behind me shout, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around...and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year-old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass! So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle, and I've been there ever since.

 * [to Bart] What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny?" "Make yourself at home?" "Marry my daughter?" You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

 * [as Bart puts on his guns to fight Mongo] No. Don't do that, don't do that. If you shoot him you'll just make him mad.

Lili von Shtupp

 * Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome, C'mon in.

 * Come on, Lamarr, let's get down to bwass tacks.

 * Hey there, handsome. Is that a ten-gallon hat, or are you just enjoying the show?

 * Why don't you, uh...loosen your bullets?

 * Let's face it. Everything below the waist is kaputt!

 * Tell me, "Tex ma'am", are you in show business? Well then why don't you get your fwiggin' feet off the stage!

 * A wed wose... how womantic.

Taggart

 * [on testing for quicksand] Horses? We cain't afford t'lose no horses, you dummy! Send over a couple'a niggers.

Mongo

 * Mongo only pawn in game of life.

Dialogue

 * Church Congregation: [singing] Now is a time of great decision / Are we to stay or up and quit? / There's no avoiding this conclusion / Our town is turning into shit!

 * Bart: All right, folks...Now I suppose you're all wondering just what in the heck you're doing out here, in the middle of a prairie, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night.
 * Crowd: You bet your ass!
 * Bart: I'm hip.

 * Lili von Shtupp: Tell me, schatze, is it twue what they say about the way you people are... gifted? [sound of zipper opening] Oh, it's twue. It's twue. It's twue, it's twue!
 * [response omitted from final cut]
 * Bart: I hate to disappoint you, ma'am, but you're suckin' on my arm!

 * Lyle: [Taunting the mainly-black railworkers] When you was slaves, you sang like birds. Come on! How about a good old nigger work song?
 * [Enraged, the workers move to attack him, but are stopped by Bart. He promptly proceeds to sing.]
 * Bart: [Crooning, Sammy Davis, Jr.-style, with fellow railworkers providing backing vocals] I get no kick from champagne... Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all...[the bullying supervisors look immensely confused and insulted] so why then should it be true?... that I get a belt - outta you... Some get a kick from coca-yeai-yeaiiiinnnneee...
 * Lyle: Hold it! Hold it! What the hell is that shit?! I meant a song! A real song! Something like [singing] "Swing low, sweet chariot"...
 * [The railworkers mumble to each other in mock confusion]
 * Lyle: Don't know that one, huh. Well how about "De Camptown Ladies"?
 * Bart: De Camptown Ladies?
 * Railworkers: De Camptown Ladies?
 * Lyle: Oh, you know! "De Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah! Camptown Race Track five miles long, oh-de-do-da-dahy!"
 * [The white supervisors begin joining in, complete with ludicrous dancing actions, much to the amusement of the railworkers. Suddenly, Taggart gallops in on a horse; he shooting wildly into the air, interrupting the song and scattering the supervisors.]
 * Taggart: What in the Wide World of Sports is a-goin' on here? I hired you people to get some track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!

 * [Gabby Johnson sees the sheriff riding into town]
 * Gabby Johnson: Hey! The sheriff is a nig...
 * [clock bell chimes]
 * Harriet Johnson: What did he say?
 * Dr. Sam Johnson: He said the sheriff's near.
 * Gabby Johnson: No, gone blame it dang blammit! The sheriff is a nig...
 * [clock bell chimes again]

 * Bart: Excuse me while I whip this out...
 * [People cringe back and a woman faints. As he pulls out a letter instead of you-know-what, people sigh - almost sounding disappointed]
 * Bart: ...By the power invested in me by the honorable William J. Le Petomane... [People start cocking guns and pointing them at Bart] ...I hereby assume the duties of sheriff in and for the township of Rock Ridge.
 * Reverend: Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's not let anger rule the day! [waving Bible] As your spiritual leader in this town, I implore you to pay heed to this good book and what it has to say!
 * [A hole is shot through the Bible; the Reverend turns to Bart]
 * Reverend: Son, you're on your own.
 * [The people are about to shoot Bart at his opening speech until he takes himself hostage]
 * Bart: [in a gruff voice, hauling himself by the collar and pressing the muzzle of his gun against his own neck] Hold it! The next man that makes a move, the nigger gets it.
 * Dr. Johnson: Hold it men, he's not bluffing! [all but Howard Johnson drop their guns]
 * Dr. Samuel Johnson: Listen to him, men; he's just crazy enough to do it!
 * Bart: [still gruffly, to Howard] Drop it, or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head ALL OVER THIS TOWN! [minstrel voice] Oh, Lawdy-Lawd, he's desp'at! Do what he say, do what he SAY...! [Howard slowly drops the gun]
 * [Bart slowly moving towards the sheriff's office, still holding himself hostage]
 * Harriet Johnson: Isn't anyone going to help that poor man?
 * Dr. Samuel Johnson: Hush, Harriet! That's a sure way to get him killed!
 * Bart: [minstrel voice] Oh, Oh he'p me! He'p me! He'p me! Somebody He'p me! He'p me! He'p me! He'p me! [gruffly] Shut up! [covers his own mouth, pushes himself into the office] Oh, baby, you are so talented--and they are so dumb!

 * Bart: Are we awake?
 * Jim: [Sees Bart for the first time] We're not sure. Are we...black?
 * Bart: Yes, we are.
 * Jim: Then we're awake. But we're very puzzled.

 * Bart: [Jim grabs a liquor bottle] Maybe you should have something to eat first.
 * Jim: Oh, no thanks. Food makes me sick [Takes a long drink]
 * Bart: A man drink like that and he don't eat, he is going to die!
 * Jim: [Eagerly] When?

 * Bart: What's your name?
 * Jim: My name's Jim, but most people call me - Jim...I used to be known as the Waco Kid.
 * Bart: The Waco Kid, he was the fastest gun in the West!
 * Jim: ...The East, too.

 * Bart: Okay, Jim, since you are my guest and I am your host, what are your pleasures? What do you like to do?
 * Jim: Oh, I don't know. Play chess...screw.
 * Bart: Well let's play chess.

 * [Bart walks in the saloon, dressed as a Telegram serviceman and carrying a candy box. Mongo continues to crush the struggling men behind him with a piano.]
 * Bart: Candygram for Mongo. Candygram for Mongo. Candygram for Mongo. Candygram for Mongo.
 * Mongo: Me Mongo.
 * Bart: [hands him a card, while the men faint] Sign, please.
 * [Mongo signs the card, unintentionally shredding the paper. Bart gives him the box.]
 * Bart: Thank you.
 * [The Merrie Melodies theme begins playing while Bart walks away, plugging his ears.]
 * Mongo: (as music pauses) Mongo like candy.
 * [Opens the box; it explodes in his face as the tune finishes.]

 * Jim: [taunting Klansmen] Hey boys! Look what I got here!
 * [pulls Bart out from behind a rock]
 * Bart: Hey, where are da white women at?
 * [The Klansmen chase Jim and Bart behind the rock and are quickly knocked out.]

 * Taggart: I got it, I got it!
 * Hedley Lamarr: You do? What?
 * Taggart: We'll work up a "Number 6" on 'em!
 * Hedley Lamarr: "Number 6?" I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one...
 * Taggart: Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a-whoppin' and a-whumpin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the womenfolks, of course.
 * Hedley Lamarr: You spare the women?
 * Taggart: Naw, we rape the shit out of them at the Number 6 Dance later on!
 * Hedley Lamarr: Marvelous!

 * Reverend Johnson: Now I don't have to tell you good folks what's been happening in our beloved little town. Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped. The time has come to act, and act fast. I'm leaving.
 * ''[one of the townspeople refuses to budge and reminds the pastor that he's not going to let some rustlers chase him and the others out of town.]
 * Reverend Johnson: ...So, to close this meeting, let us read from the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke... [a bundle of dynamite is tossed into the church through a stained-glass window] ...and DUCK! [explosion]

 * Taggart: Well, holy mother of pearl! It's that nigger that went and hit me over the head with a shovel! Now, just what do you think you're doin' with that tin star, boy?!
 * Bart: Watch that "boy" shit, redneck! You're talkin' to the sheriff of Rock Ridge!

 * Hedley Lamarr: My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.
 * Taggart: Ditto!
 * Hedley Lamarr: "Ditto"? "Ditto", you provincial putz?

 * Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives...
 * Taggart: God darnit Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.
 * Hedley Lamarr: Shit-kicker...

 * Taggart: What do you want me to do, sir?
 * Hedley Lamarr: I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gun slinger in the West. Take this down.
 * [Taggart looks for a pen and paper while Hedley talks]
 * Hedley Lamarr: I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers, and Methodists! [Laughs hysterically and sinisterly]
 * Taggart: [finally finding a pen and paper] Could you repeat that, sir?
 * Hedley Lamarr: [Groan!]

 * [Deleted scene: Bart dresses himself as a carnival barker and stands by a well in the middle of Rock Ridge]
 * Bart: Step right up, ladies and gentlemen and...Mongos! Dive, dive, dive for buried treasure! This is the exact spot where the Spanish Armada was sunk by the British Navy, leaving millions and millions in Spanish dubloons at the bottom of the sea!
 * Mongo: [excited] Spanish balloons?
 * Bart: Right on.
 * Mongo: Mongo take chance!
 * [A moment later, Bart has dressed Mongo in a deep-sea diving outfit and positioned him at the top of the well]
 * Mongo: Wait! Where Mongo get air?
 * Bart: From this wonderful antique pump.
 * Mongo: Good.
 * Bart: [closes helmet faceplate] Good hunting!
 * [A moment later, Mongo is underwater at the bottom of the well; Bart stops cranking the pump]
 * Bart: Oh. Time for my lunch break.
 * [Down below, a card is lowered to Mongo reading "For More Air Deposit 25¢"; he pats himself down in search of a quarter]

 * Taggart: We'll head them off at the pass!
 * Hedley Lamarr: "Head them off at the pass"? I hate that cliché!
 * [He shoots Taggart in the foot while Lyle runs off, not wanting to anger his boss.]

 * Jim: I wouldn't do that if I were you.
 * Lyle: Don't pay no attention to that alky. He can't even hold a gun, much less shoot it.
 * [Jim preps himself by licking his finger and blowing it; Lyle, Taggart and their men take aim at Bart]
 * Lyle: Like I said, on the count of three. One. Two. Three.
 * [Jim draws both of his own guns, shooting those of Taggart and Company out of their hands. The railroad workers cheer and congratulate Jim, while the villains struggle to take in what just happened]
 * Bart: Well, don't just stand there lookin' stupid, grasping your hands in pain. How about a little applause for the Waco Kid?
 * [Taggart, Lyle and their men grudgingly applaud Jim.]

 * Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications.
 * Rapist: Rape, murder, arson and rape.
 * Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice.
 * Rapist: I like rape.
 * Taggart: [Chuckles] He'll do.
 * Hedley Lamarr: Charming. Sign right here.
 * [The rapist signs his name]
 * Hedley Lamarr: Very good. Badge. Next. Qualifications?
 * Gum-chewing outlaw: Arson, armed robbery...mayhem.
 * Hedley Lamarr: Wait a minute. What have you got in your mouth?
 * Gum-chewing outlaw: [Stops chewing] Noth-um!
 * Hedley Lamarr: "Noth-um", eh? Lyle.
 * Lyle: [Pulls gum out of outlaw's mouth] Gum!
 * Hedley Lamarr: Chewing gum in line, eh? I hope you brought enough for everybody!
 * Gum-chewing outlaw: [panicked] ...I didn't know there was gonna be so many! [Lamarr shoots him dead]
 * Jim: [Observing with Bart from a distance] Boy, is he strict!

 * [Harriet Johnson reads her letter to the Governor]
 * Harriet Johnson:[quietly] To the honorable William J. Le Petomane, Governor...
 * Townspeople: Louder! We can't hear you!
 * Harriet Johnson: I'm not used to public speaking.
 * [clears her throat]
 * Harriet Johnson: WE THE WHITE, GOD-FEARING CITIZENS OF ROCK RIDGE...
 * [The townspeople jumps in shock.]
 * Harriet Johnson: ...wish to express our extreme displeasure with your choice of sheriff. Please remove him immediately! The fact that you have sent him here just goes to prove that you are the leading asshole in the state!

 * [Bart, disguised as a Klansman, describes his qualifications as a villain]
 * Bart: Stampeding cattle.
 * Hedley Lamarr: That's not much of a crime.
 * Bart: Through the Vatican?
 * Hedley Lamarr: [smiling] Kinky. Sign here.
 * [Jim, also disguised as a Klansman, covers for Bart having shown his dark-skinned hand]
 * Jim: Why, Rhett! How many times have I told you to wash up after a weekly cross-burning? [scrubs at Bart's hand] See, it's coming off.
 * [Taggart pulls Bart's hood off; everyone gasps]
 * Bart: And now, for my next impression... Jesse Owens! [he and Jim run away]

 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: Holy underwear! Sheriff murdered? Innocent women and children blown to bits? We've got to protect our phoney-baloney jobs, gentleman! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately, immediately! Harrumph, harrumph!" [Other staff 'harrumph' as well] I didn't get a "harrumph" out of that guy!
 * Hedley Lamarr: Give the governor "harrumph"!
 * Staff member: Harrumph!
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: You watch your ass.

 * Hedley Lamarr: Meeting adjourned. Oh, I am sorry, sir, I didn't mean to overstep my bounds. You say that.
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: What?
 * Hedley Lamarr: "Meeting is adjourned".
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: It is?
 * Hedley Lamarr: No, you say that, Governor.
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: What?
 * Hedley Lamarr: "Meeting is adjourned".
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: It is?
 * Hedley Lamarr: [sighs, then gives the governor a paddleball] Here, sir, play with this.
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: Oh, thank you, Hedy.
 * Hedley Lamarr: No, it's HEDLEY!
 * Governor William J. Le Petomane: It is?

 * Hedley Lamarr: ...Today, we embark on a crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the West. You will be risking only your lives, while I will be risking an almost-certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Raise your right hands for the pledge. And repeat after me: I...
 * Men: I...
 * Hedley Lamarr: ...your name...
 * Men: ...your name...
 * Hedley Lamarr: [to himself] Shmucks. [continues aloud]
 * Hedley Lamarr: ...pledge allegiance...
 * Men: ...pledge allegiance...
 * Hedley Lamarr: ...to Hedley Lamarr...
 * Men: ...to Hedy Lamarr...
 * Hedley Lamarr: THAT'S HEDLEY!
 * Men: That's Hedley!
 * Hedley Lamarr: ...and to the evil...
 * Men: ...and to the evil...
 * Hedley Lamarr: ...for which he stands.
 * Men: ...for which he stands.
 * Hedley Lamarr: Now go do... that voodoo... that YOU do... SO WELL...! [Men shoot at the sky in joy and ride off]

 * [En route to Rock Ridge, Taggart and his army find a tollbooth in their way. The toll is 10 cents and the tollbooth is named the Gov. William J. Le Petomane Toll Thruway.]
 * Taggart: [reading sign] "Le Petomane Throughway." Now what'll that asshole think of next? Does anybody got a dime [assorted negative responses from the men] Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!
 * [An hour later, the Rock Ridge residents have planted dynamite in their mockup town and the men are going through the tollbooth, one at a time.]
 * Taggart: Hurry up! Speed it up! Faster, faster! Oh, we ain't ever gonna git to Rock Ridge!

 * Buddy Bizarre: CUT! What in the hell do you think you're doing here? This is a closed set.
 * Taggart: [runs up to Buddy] Piss on you! I'm workin for Mel Brooks! [Prepares to punch Buddy]
 * Buddy Bizarre: Not in the face.
 * [Taggart complies and punches Buddy in the stomach instead]
 * Buddy Bizarre: Thank you.

 * [LAST LINES: riding out of Rock Ridge, Bart finds Jim outside the town jail. He still has his popcorn from the movie theater.]
 * Jim: Where you headed, cowboy?
 * Bart: Nowhere special.
 * Jim: Nowhere special...I always wanted to go there.
 * [Bart smiles invitingly at his old friend.]
 * Bart: Come on, then.
 * [They ride off together, but stop just outside town and hand the horses off to a wrangler so they can drive away in a waiting car.]

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.

Victoria of the United Kingdom

Victoria of the United Kingdom (Alexandrina Victoria Wettin, née Hanover) (24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom from 20 June 1837, and Empress of India from 1876 until her death. Her reign lasted more than sixty-three years, second only to that of Elizabeth II. The reign of Victoria was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire and is called the Victorian Era. Victoria was the last monarch of the House of Hanover; her successor belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

Quotes

 * Since it has pleased Providence to place me in this station, I shall do my utmost to fulfil my duty towards my country; I am very young and perhaps in many, though not in all things, inexperienced, but I am sure that very few have more real good will and more real desire to do what is fit and right than I have.
 * Extract from the Queen's Journal, Tuesday, 20th June 1837.

 * Affairs go on, and all will take some shape or other, but it keeps one in hot water all the time.
 * Letter to King of the Belgians, Nuneham, 15th June, 1841 (Note: Nuneham was the house of Edward Vernon Harcourt, Archbishop of York).

 * My dearest Uncle,- I have the greatest pleasure in announcing to you a piece of news which I know will give you as much satisfaction and relief as it does to us, and will do to the whole of the world. Lord Palmerston is no longer Foreign Secretary—and Lord Granville has already named his successor!
 * Early Belgian colonial Efforts: The long and fateful shadow of Leopold I, Page 67 Victoria to Leopold, 23 December, 1851, in Benson, 2:345.

 * All marriage is such a lottery -- the happiness is always an exchange -- though it may be a very happy one -- still the poor woman is bodily and morally the husband's slave. That always sticks in my throat. When I think of a merry, happy, and free young girl -- and look at the ailing aching state a young wife is generally doomed to -- which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.
 * Letter (16 May 1860), published in Dearest Child: Letters Between Queen Victoria and the Princess Royal Previously Unpublished edited by Roger Fulfold (1964), p. 254. Also quoted in the article "Queen Victoria's Not So Victorian Writings" by Heather Palmer (1997).

 * I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of "Women's Rights," with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were women to "unsex" themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen, and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection.
 * In an 1870 letter, quoted for example in All For Love: Seven Centuries of Illicit Liaison by Val Horsler (2006), p. 104. At the bottom of this page, it is mentioned that the comment was written in a letter to Sir Theodore Martin in reaction to news "that Viscountess Amberley had become president of the Bristol and West of England Women's Suffrage Society and had addressed a ... public meeting on the subject." The author of the page, Helena Wojtczak, says here that while other sources often fail to give the context, she "researched and discovered the source of the quote".

 * It is worth being shot at to see how much one is loved.
 * After being shot at by Roderick Maclean on 2 March 1882, as quoted in Stanley Weintraub, Victoria. Biography of a queen (1987), p. 450.

 * It seems to me a defect in our much famed Constitution, to have to part with an admirable Govt like Ld Salisbury's for no question of any importance or any particular reason, merely on account of the number of votes.
 * Comment made after Salisbury lost power to Gladstone in 1892, quoted in Queen Victoria: A Biographical Companion by Helen Rappaport (2003), p. 331.

 * I am too horrified for words at this monstrous horrible sentence against this poor martyr Dreyfus. If only all Europe would express its horror and indignation! I trust there will be a severe retribution.
 * Letter to Lord Salisbury on the Dreyfus affair (9 September 1899), quoted in The Letters of Queen Victoria: A Selection from Her Majesty's Correspondence Between the Years 1837 and 1861, Vol. III 1896–1901, ed. George Earle Buckle (1932), pp. 396-397

 * I sympathise most deeply with your expressions on the horrors of war, than which no one can feel more strongly than I do; and earnestly hope that it may be averted. But I cannot abandon my own subjects who have appealed to me for protection. If President Kruger is reasonable, there will be no war, but the issue is in his hands.
 * Letter to the Queen of the Netherlands shortly before the Second Boer War (September 1899), quoted in The Letters of Queen Victoria: A Selection from Her Majesty's Correspondence Between the Years 1837 and 1861, Vol. III 1896–1901, ed. George Earle Buckle (1932), p. 397

 * We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat; they do not exist.
 * December 1899 letter to Arthur Balfour during the "Black Week" of the Boer War, as quoted in The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations (1993), p. 539.
 * According to Lady Gwendolen Cecil, it was a verbal statement to Mr. Balfour in Windsor Palace, as recorded in her biography of her Father, Life of Robert, marquis of Salisbury, volume 3 (1921), p. 191

 * Queen Victoria on promotion of Lionel Rothschild to peerage: "It is not only the feeling, of which she cannot divest herself, against making a person of the Jewish religion, a Peer; but she cannot think that one who owes his great wealth to contracts with foreign Governments for Loans, or to successful speculation on the Stock Exchange, can fairly claim a British Peerage. However high Sir L. Rothschild may stand personally in public estimation, this seems to her not less a species of gambling because it is on a gigantic scale and far removed from that legitimate trading which she delights to honour, in which men have raised themselves by patient industry and unswerving probity to positions of wealth and influence."
 * Gentile folly: the Rothschilds, by Arnold Leese.

Quotes about Queen Victoria

 * The centerpiece of the Oval Office was the resolute desk. I had chosen the desk because of its historical significance. Its story began in 1852, when Queen Victoria dispatched the HMS Resolute to search for the British explorer John Franklin, who had been lost looking for the Northwest Passage. The Resolute was trapped in ice near the Arctic and abandoned by its crew. In 1855 it was discovered by an American whaling ship, which sailed the Resolute back to Connecticut. The vessel was purchased by the U.S. government, refitted, and returned to England as a goodwill gift to the queen. When the Resolute was decommissioned two decades later, Her Majesty had several ornate desks made out of its timbers, one of which she gave to President Rutherford B. Hayes.
 * George W. Bush, Decision Points (2010), p. 108

 * The colonisation of Australia and New Zealand, and the acquisition of South Africa in the decline of Holland, created the new and wider British Empire still based upon sea-power and comprising a fifth of the human race, over which Queen Victoria, in the longest reign of British history, presided. In this period moral issues arising from Christian ethics became prominent. The slave trade, from which Britain had so shamelessly profited in the past, was suppressed by the Royal Navy. By a terrible internal struggle, at the cost of nearly a million lives, slavery was extirpated from the United States; above all, the Union was preserved.
 * Winston Churchill, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Volume IV: The Great Democracies (1958), p. ix

 * The warrior, sage, and poet fill their story With all the various honours of mankind ; — May thy young reign achieve yet truer glory, The pure, enlightened triumphs of the mind ! Too much in this wide world yet needs redressing ; But with thy reign Hope’s loveliest promise came. May thy sweet youth be sheltered by the blessing A nation breathes upon Victoria’s name!
 * Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1838 (1837), 'To the Queen'

 * Whether the queen caused the period, or the period creates the queen, she fitted her time perfectly.
 * Florence Becker Lennon, The Life of Lewis Carroll (1962), p. 27

 * Another great—far greater—event now occupied the mind of the "man in the street": the illness and subsequent death of Queen Victoria. The "man in the street" certainly took a great interest in that event which filled us and our English friends with sorrow. It was such a great passing away of the most outstanding personality of the past hundred years. The morning that the news appeared in the Paris Daily Mail we were greeted by all our friendly tradespeople with subdued voices and a certain awed expression of face: "Vous savez?" they all said, even before they answered to our "bonjour" "Votre idole est morte". Your idol! That is how they talked of Queen Victoria. She was to their minds (more insular than those of our own people) something quite apart. Not altogether real. A fetish that we, the hated English, almost worshipped, and to their credit be it said that with her death, all scurrilous cartoons and postcards disappeared from the kiosks, nor did any derogatory or disrespectful article appear in the Press.
 * Baroness Orczy, Links in the Chain of Life (1947), p. 90

 * Queen Victoria had put an end to the Republican movement in Great Britain and in the Dominions, not by what she had done, but by what she had been, and by what she had refrained from doing. She had won back public respect for the monarchy in her person. And she had disarmed political hostility to the throne by effacing its occupant as a governing power. It was her habit to express to her advisers, often with unnecessary emphasis, her views on all public questions, but she had not insisted on having her way. She had been content with a purely consultative function in relation to Ministers who were in effect chosen for her by Parliament, sometimes much against her own ideas of their fitness.
 * G. M. Trevelyan, British History in the Nineteenth Century (1782–1901) (1922), p. 423

 * She had made the monarchy welcome everywhere, as the representative of the public life of the nation in its non-political aspects. All through her reign, but most of all during its last twenty years, she had appealed to the common human heart of plain people, as a woman who was herself decidedly a "plain person," more apt than the clever, the cultured or the aristocratic of soul to sympathise with the elementary joys and sorrows of her subjects. When she said that she was grieved by some public or private calamity, people knew that her sorrow was sincere, and of the same nature as their own. There was nothing superfine about Queen Victoria in her widowhood. None the less, she made the world recognise in her the symbol of all that was mighty and lasting in the life of England and of the races associated with England in Empire. Because she thus combined the very human and the very high, sentiment about her person became, at the end, akin to the religious. And for an Empire which desired to hold together in brotherhood, but refused to be federated into a single parliamentary Constitution, the only possible unit, in symbolism or in law, was found at last to be the historic Crown of Britain.
 * G. M. Trevelyan, British History in the Nineteenth Century (1782–1901) (1922), pp. 423-424

 * [T]hat monstrous dwarf Queen Victoria.
 * John Fowles, The Magus (1965), p. 1

Quotes addressed to Queen Victoria

 * The names of the little one will be, Philippe Eugène Ferdinand Marie Clement Baudoin (baldwin, a name of the old counts of Flanders) Leopold George.
