Lucifer (comic book)

 * "Lucifer" redirects here. For the TV series, see Lucifer (TV series).

Lucifer (1999–2006) is a comic book series which has been collected in 11 trade paperbacks. The entire series was written by Mike Carey with a number of artists working on different issues. The fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar, as portrayed in this work, and several other major characters associated with him, first appeared in Neil Gaiman's comic book series The San∂man in 1989.

The Morningstar Option, Issue 1

 * [Amenadiel has poured a glass of brandy across the table and set it alight]
 * Lucifer: That's an eighty year-old Janneau Armagnac. If I'd known you were going to waste it on melodrama, I would have given you the '78.
 * Amenadiel: The World is on fire, Lucifer Morningstar. I wanted to make that point forcefully. Otherwise we could squander the evening in stale repartee.
 * Lucifer: I've no desire to trespass on your evening at all, Amenadiel. I'm sure there are many places where your company would be almost welcome.

 * Amenadiel: I am told that you will name your price.
 * Lucifer: That I may name my price or that I will name it?
 * Amenadiel: Will.
 * Lucifer: You'd think part of being omniscient would be knowing when to stop.

 * Mahu: Far enough, prince of Hell. Far enough and a little more.
 * Lucifer: Ah, the hospitality of the Lilim! I wonder what it died of. Hello, Mahu. How is your master these days?
 * Mahu: I acknowledge no master.
 * Lucifer: Then how is Briadach the blind, lord of the Lilim in exile? Is he healthy? I mean, within the usual parameters?
 * Mahu: His lungs burn. His every heartbeat tears his side like a flensing knife.
 * Lucifer: Ah, well within the usual parameters, then.

 * Mahu: When the Lilim claim their right, you'll last no longer than the angels. You'll just burn with a different colored flame.
 * Lucifer: Oh, nothing will be burning by then. Even solar fusion only lasts so long.

 * Lucifer: [standing at the gates of Hell, a realm he has abandoned] Home again, home again. Jiggetty jig.

The Morningstar Option Issue 2

 * Lucifer: Little pig, little pig, let me in.
 * Remiel: This is no longer your domain, Lucifer Morningstar. You have no right of entry here. No right even to walk on this ground without our leave!
 * Lucifer: Hmm. In my day we took anyone who happened by. That's part of the point, isn't it?
 * Remiel: You will not face me down and you will not sway me. Our work of redemption here is at a delicate stage, and your presence here drags everything back into question.
 * Lucifer: Remiel, you once begged me to return …
 * Remiel: I haven't finished yet!
 * Lucifer: Oh well …
 * Remiel: You come here with all your old arrogance – like a visiting head of state, when the truth is you've evaded your responsibilities. You resigned. You resigned, Lucifer.
 * Lucifer: Your grasp of current affairs is as keen as ever.
 * Remiel: Spare me your sarcasm. I have nothing to say to you.
 * Lucifer: Remiel … how many demons stand behind us? I reckon at least a third of the infernal host. If you don't let me come inside, I'll humiliate you so badly that your prestige here – which I imagine is at also at a delicate stage – will catch cold and die. … Good lad. Always know your limitations, eh?

 * Lucifer: A message written in blood. Everyone involved in this drama seems compelled to overact.

 * Lucifer: I'm the paid agent of the Triune Godhead, The King of Heaven. I will not relent. Unless you want to make me a substantially higher offer.

A Six Card Spread Issue 3

 * Meleos: Lucifer does not threaten before he strikes.

 * Meleos: Lucifer's plague for he is older than the Angel of Death, and greater. And when he comes in judgement he spares none.

 * Narrator: This moment meets that one. What might be becomes what is.

Issue 6, The House of Windowless Rooms, Part 2

 * [Kagutsuchi has run off to kill Lucifer]
 * Yama-no-kami: He has his sword, and his strength. And the advantage of familiar ground.
 * Susano-o-no-mikoto: That is so. And the lightbringer has nothing save his wit and his will. I find that this fails to console me overmuch.

Issue 8, The House of Windowless Rooms, Part 4

 * Jill Presto: Well … just speaking for myself … and I'm going out on a limb here … I'd like to say that you're an arrogant, ungrateful son of a bitch on a permanent power trip.
 * Lucifer: Ha! Excellent. Accurate on all counts.

Issue 9, Children and Monsters, Prelude

 * Monk in Street: There's a special place in hell for those who hear God's call and turn away.
 * Erishad: No, there are no special places in hell. Hell is a democracy.

Issue 10, Children and Monsters, Part 1

 * Merv: Hey, look, Loosh. It's raining doors. Whaddya make of that?
 * Lucien: Hmm. I'd say that someone is sending out an invitation. Someone who doesn't care about incurring our lord's anger.

 * Mr. Easterman: They used to call the devil the father of lies. But for someone whose sin is meant to be pride, you'd think that lying would leave something of a sour taste. So my theory is that when the devil wants to get something out of you, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to hell.

Issue 12, Children and Monsters, Part 2

 * Musubi: Angels are a little like gods, I think; that sour self-righteousness that sticks in the teeth like fine bones.

Issue 13, Children and Monsters, Part 3

 * [Amenadiel is poised to slay Musubi]
 * Musubi: Tell me how many I killed … angel.
 * Amenadiel: Not enough. [decapitates her]

 * Narrator: The window would be no wider than a heartbeat. Between the moment when action became possible... and the moment when it became pointless.

Issue 14, Children and Monsters, Part 4

 * Elaine: Does it hurt?
 * Michael: No. It does not hurt. But it eventually kills, as with so many things in your world.

 * Michael: I'll take you home, if you wish.
 * Elaine: No, thanks. I'll wait for Lucifer.
 * Michael: Be wary of him, Elaine. You have a long way to go, and he is not the safest of travelling companions.
 * Elaine: He saved my life twice. He's the only grown-up I know who keeps his promises.
 * Michael: Yes. It is a point of pride with him. But please – don't mistake it for a virtue.

Issue 19, A Dalliance With The Damned, Part 3

 * [Lucifer and Mazikeen have arrived in Effrul early. Lucifer is dressed in 18th Century attire, Mazikeen wears jeans and a T-Shirt with the phrase "Normal Consciousness Will Resume"]
 * Mazikeen: Why do you stay here? It isn't like you!
 * Lucifer: Isn't it? Call it a whim, then. We've come a long way. It would be tedious to turn around at once. [pause] And what of you, for that matter? You came to Hell to speak to the Lilim here, not to be my escort at public functions.
 * Mazikeen: Gathering the Lilim will be a long task. It will help if they know I'm here.
 * Lucifer: So you're doing this for the exposure. I see. Do you intend to dress, by the way? I gather this is to be a formal occasion.
 * Mazikeen: It's just play acting. I prefer to go as myself.
 * Lucifer: Well, then. Let's see if the rumors about us are true.

Issue 20, The Thunder Sermon

 * Lucifer: You use the word "Infinity" very glibly.... Have you ever been there? Time and space are extensions of the mind, the will. Which means that infinity is a purely local phenomenon. You can turn over a stone and find it crawling there. Or you can make it yourself out of whatever materials are at hand.

 * Michael: Was it not Buddha who heard a sermon in the thunder?
 * Lucifer: Actually, it is in the Upanishads, but I applaud your ecumenical impulse.
 * Michael: And the words the thunder said were Datta, Dayadvam, Damyata. Give, sympathize and control. I've always thought of that as one commandment rather than three.
 * Lucifer: Why do I feel that this particular sermon is being preached at me? I can do control. Nobody is good at everything.

 * Lucifer: [later] A sermon in the thunder, Michael? Thunder only has one thing to say: it tells us how close the storm is.

Issue 21, Paradiso, Part 1

 * Gaudium: You ever seen roadkill? Because that's what you're gonna look like! They're gonna have to identify you by your Kirlian Aura!

Issue 22, Paradiso, Part 2

 * Gaudium: The thing is, it's the Basanos you're up against. It can see the future. So obviously, there's a future where you get to be important. On the down side, there's a whole lot more where you get to be a greasy stain. Can we talk as we flee?

Issue 26, Purgatorio, Part 2

 * Lucifer: I intend to survive this. Anything you say ought to take that into account.
 * Death: You know, I told my brother once, that if you kill the messenger, in the long run, you just get less mail.

Issue 28, Breaking & Entering

 * Spera: Ooh! Ooh! You hear that? A bird singing out amidst our desolation. It's a miracle. The miracle called supper.

 * Gaudium: Fairy gossamer, ewwwww! How can you trust a species that would milk a spider's ass?
 * Spera: You've done worse things to a spider's ass.

Issue 30, Inferno Part 2

 * Scoria: If you were to ask for forgiveness, it would not remove the need to lash you. But it would make the lashing an act of reconciliation between us, not punishment.
 * Mazikeen: Don't waste your breath. Every word could be a stroke.

Issue 31, Inferno Part 3

 * Demon spectator 1: Look at that heaven-spewn bastard. Standing there like his shit don't stink.
 * Demon spectator 2: It doesn't. It sings hosiannas.

Issue 34, Come to judgement, Part 1

 * Lucifer: There is a cavern at the heart of the world …
 * Mazikeen: There is?
 * Lucifer: Sometimes. It depends on the mood the world is in.

Issue 35, Come to judgement, Part 2

 * Gaudium: Get out the yellow pages, Spera. I'm gonna sue this guy's ass into a geostationary orbit.

 * Bergelmir: It was joke, morningstar. A joke only. I've something of my brother's humor, after all.
 * Lucifer: Take me to the ship. Or I'll show you what makes me laugh.

Issue 36, Naglfar, Part 1

 * Gaudium—a cherub who took Lucifer's ticket and so lost his rank and insignia. Michael offered him a second chance—to guard Elaine from a monstrous assassin in exchange for a full pardon—but he blew that too. God save us from fallen cherubs with unfinished business.

 * Tsuki-Yomi: I struggle against eternity. This is my art. This is my tragedy. It is not poignant. Not as such. Nothing I make is ever poignant. It's because there is no death here. If things can't die, one senses a futility at the bottom of their suffering. When the ship comes, no doubt it will be different. But to the everlasting present of art, there is no ship. Not yet. And no children anymore. Because the children are subsumed in the work. And I will endeavour to forget that you once had names.

 * Bergelmir: The Morningstar has a sour disposition and a keen eye for other people's imperfections.

 * Lucifer: You'll have to rise above your individual hatreds and mistrusts. Otherwise you will die. Or else you'll live, but come back unsuccessful. In which case I'll kill most of you myself. Good luck.

Issue 37, Naglfar, Part 2

 * Gaudium: When I signed up, I thought this was Lucifer's show. With him along it's epic. With us it's more of a situation comedy.

 * Mr Easterman: Couldn't someone else–?
 * Mazikeen: No. No one else. The rest of the crew have other functions. You are totally expendable except for this. Do I have to threaten you?
 * Mr Easterman: No. I get the picture. Thanks for your brutal honesty.

 * Mazikeen: [points sword at Bergelmirs throat] Sit up slowly, helmsman. Slowly as a shadow crossing a sundial. And explain to me why I should not kill you.

 * Lucifer: [to Michael] I always think of you when I think of harps. They make a sweet sound while their own internal stresses tear them apart in slow motion.

Issue 38, Naglfar, Part 3

 * Mr. Easterman: I – have this terrible sense of –
 * Gaudium: I know. Like you're tied to the nosecone of a rocket and you look down and the rocket's got "Prototype" all down the side of it.
 * Mr. Easterman: Exactly.

 * Michael: There's nothing here to fear.
 * Lucifer: Well, there's always the truth.

 * Yahweh: Ah, the pity of it. Do not think I am unmoved, my sons. I have lived these lives again and again. I have endured these futile quests and escalating sacrifices. The Turmoil that drowns out love and hope and meaning—until the heart stops, and the last breath dies in the last dry throat. It is a tragedy. All of it.

Issue 39, Naglfar, Part 4

 * Lucifer: But if you want some advice, Zim'et, I'd say to choose a direction that leads away from the silver city. Set off now, and keep moving until the stars start to dim.

Issue 40, Naglfar, Part 5

 * Michael: I have faced you before, and swallowed insults at your hands. But today I am in a different humor. Step aside or you will surely die.
 * Angel 1: Archon, we have our orders. Nobody enters The Presence without your father's summons.
 * Angel 2: Not even you.
 * Michael: Then be at peace. You die in fulfillment of your duty. That was my ambition once. I have learned hard lessons since.

Issue 41, Sisters of mercy

 * Bergelmir: You've done a terrible thing, Morningstar. I still believe that you'll be brought to pay for it. One way or another.
 * Lucifer: Well, belief is meant to be a great consolation. Take it with you when you go.

 * Lucifer: If you're going to have gods, you might as well have farcical gods that command no respect... that bring the very concept into disrepute.

 * Lucifer: Very well. You are the tutelary spirits of this world. Though none will name or bless you, even in their thoughts. Mona Doyle, I set you over hedgehogs. Elaine Belloc, I set you over everything except hedgehogs. Keep the noise down to a reasonable level. And in case you should be tempted to look over my shoulder — don't.

Issue 44, Brothers in arms

 * Beatrice Wechsler: The buildings are singing to each other. Elegies, laments, funeral hymns. I can almost make out the words. I almost know who they're for.

 * Beatrice Wechsler: I know what she's going to do to me. But if I ran – I'd just end up in some place that doesn't have her in it.

Issue 46, Stitchglass Slide

 * Gaudium: You think she's talking about us?
 * Spera: Must be. Her face is screwed up in disgust.

Issue 49, Wire, Briar, Limber Lock

 * Uriel: Did you call us here to insult us?
 * Lucifer: No, Uriel – to warn you. I thought you should have time to prepare.
 * Uriel: Prepare for what?
 * Lucifer: For the end of the world: come and see.

Issue 50, Lilith

 * Gabriel: This is a travesty of justice.
 * Michael: Justice is my father's prerogative. The rest of us … the rest of us can only do what we think is right.

Issue 55, The Eighth Sin

 * Christopher Rudd: [to Remiel] I was wrong in one respect only. I've told the lady Lys that there was no sin. But there is. Hell itself is sin. You will not be forgiven for it.

 * Remiel: [sentencing Christopher Rudd] Here. Now. By right and ordinance divine, I pass sentence on your teacher. His soul I will divide into as many pieces as he has disciples. And I will cast the pieces from the roof of this tower. That you may hear a new gospel in the shrieking of the wind and a sermon in the thunder.

Issue 56, Crux, Part 1

 * Lilith: There is not much room for regret in the life I have chosen. But for this I am sorry. That all those millenia of pain were waiting for him – and I could have saved him with a single word. Yet I did not speak.

Issue 64, Morningstar, Part 2

 * Jill Presto: [to Lucifer, being surrounded by demons] Uh … do these guys know you?
 * Elaine Belloc: This is hell. Everybody knows him.
 * Jill Presto: I think I'll wait in the car.

Issue 65, Morningstar, Part 3

 * Lucifer: We might lose without fighting. That would be a new experience for me.

 * Lucifer: I fought a war in Heaven once. I am going to offer my old enemies the benefit of my experience.

 * Lucifer: If we wait here, death will sift over us like snow and numb us to sleep. On the whole, fire is still my element.
 * Elaine: Then let's burn. I suppose.

Issue 66, The Beast Can't Take Your Call Right Now

 * Gaudium: [doing dishes] Kill. Rip. Maim. Rinse. Repeat.
 * Spera: Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Think of those poor women.
 * Gaudium: Will thinking about them improve the quality of my self-pity?

 * Culver Harland: And so began this bitter, lonely exile. In a very private hell where I was obliged to be both tortured and tormentor.

Issue 67, Morningstar, Part 4

 * Christopher Rudd: [climbing the steps to the tower of the Primum Mobile] These stairs seem neverending, Morningstar.
 * Lucifer: Funny. Most of the times when I passed this way I wished they were longer. [pause] What was waiting at the top was always worse.

Issue 69, Morningstar, Part 6

 * Solomon: This is heaven?
 * Meleos: In a sense.
 * Solomon: Then take me back. I haven't earned it yet.

Issue 70, Fireside tales

 * Martin Thole's son: All stories are lies. But good stories are lies made from light and fire. And they lift our hearts out of the dust, and out of the grave.

Issue 71, Evensong, Part 1

 * Rachel Begai: [in reference to Lucifer's … proposal] I hate it that you're using me again, Lucifer. I hate it that you think you're honest because you never tell outright lies. [hangs her head] Yeah. Okay.
 * Lucifer: Excellent.

Issue 72, Evensong, Part 2

 * Lucifer: Trust your instincts, Elaine Belloc. If mercy's your aim, be relentless in your mercy. Be absolute. Be yourself, until you bleed.

Issue 73, The Gaudium Option

 * Gaudium: Remiel, former Lord of Hell. Which is something any Schmendrick can add to his résumé these days.

Issue 75, All we need of Hell

 * God: You've been unhappy because you've desired things that cannot be.
 * Lucifer: That's what desire is. The need for what we can't have. The need for what's readily available is called greed.

Night rider?
In the episode the honking, calculon says nightrider's winsheild wipers were used in the ware car. Fry said Night rider wasn't evil, but calculon said his winsheild wipers were.

Knight Rider (note the spelling) was a TV series in the 1980s starring David Hasselhoff as Wilton Knight and his super-intelligent car K.I.T.T. voiced by William Daniels.

Article Length
I've added a cleanup tag because the quotation organization is seriously lacking and does not comply with std. TV quotation formatting (dialogue formatting arranged by season/episode) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:24, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, there are far too many quotes that make no sense when seperated from their context. --82.27.201.86 21:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I had nothing better to do with myself at work today, so I went ahead and did a major cleanup on this. I removed a bunch of quotes that didn't make sense without context. One problem is that there are still a lot of quotes in the "Unknown episode" section; I'll try and migrate those to their proper places as I find out where they belong. ~ LrdChaos 20:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

The "like sex" quote from the Popplers episode was wrong. There are 2 versions on the Internet. I listened to the audio to verify the correct phrasing. -- Craig Buchek (Booch on Wikipedia)

"Please don't stop playing, Fry. I wanna hear how it ends."
I've removed this quote because, without knowing the episode, and really, knowing how through the whole series, Fry is trying to get Leela to like him, it doesn't have any meaning. Yes, it's the last line of the series, and yes, in context it's a very powerful line, but that doesn't carry over to words on a page on the Internet, where the emotion of it is lost. —LrdChaos 13:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Episode numbers
Alright, I'm not going to start a revert war, so let's take this up here. I think that the episode numbers should be removed, or at the very least handled differently, because using those brackets makes it entirely impossible to directly link a section from Wikipedia. It creates a problem in the syntax. I realize the need for the numbers, at least until every episode has a quote section in here, but there is simply no justification for creating syntax errors simply for formatting preference. -- Digital Watches 20:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted back Digital Watch's change to remove the season.episode numbering from the section headers. It's not because I want to get into an edit war, or because I like them, it's the very real issue that there are episodes without sections and it's significantly easier to be able to add them in the right spot when you can tell at a glance where it belongs. I hope to eventually create a custom TOC for this page; the missing episodes are holding me back from that for now. Since there seems to be an impetus for accelerating this process, sometime this weekend or early next week, I'll add headers for the missing episodes, and will remove the numbers at that time. I think Wikipedia can live until then. —LrdChaos 20:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah. Okay. I can add those headers if you'd like. There are quotation sections for the episodes, most likely, and those can be added to the wikiquote article in seconds. I'll get right on it. -- Digital Watches 20:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Fixed!
Alright, I've copied the quotation sections from the articles over to here. I'll have to reformat them so that they are formatted the same as the rest of wikiquote, but this does mean that we can remove the numbers. The reason I'm working to get this done is because I'm currently engaged in the project of removing the "Quotes," "Trivia," and possibly "References" sections from all of the Futurama articles. -- Digital Watches 21:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Page split
This is getting very long. It's about time that this article was split up by season. Anyone else agree? Fleebo 01:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Seconded. It will also make the abovementioned formatting war be a moot point, as there will be room for formatting with episode codes. Empaler 21:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I think a better idea is to work on trimming the page down. I know there were a lot of funny moments in the show, but Wikiquote isn't the place for collecting all of them. Considering that there were only four seasons of the show (as compared to something like South Park or The Simpsons with more than 10), so the problem of length isn't due to a long run but rather to excessive quoting. —LrdChaos (talk) 21:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Number of quotes per episode
Lately, I've been trimming back some of the larger sections. One of the unwritten targets for the # of quotes per episode, generally, is between 3 and 8; some of the sections here have around 20 quotes. By keeping the number down, we help to lessen the chance of the page being a copyright violation.

If you want to add a new quote to a particular episode, and there are already 8 or more quotes there, please consider whether your quote is at the same level as, or better than, those already there. If you think it is, try to remove one of the not-as-good quotes to keep the number of quotes the same. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Just updating: the policy has changed to a max of 2 quotes per episode; see the note at the very top of this page. Thanks. -Sketchmoose 20:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Lyrics to songs
I posted the lyrics to the Emmy-nominated "I Want My Hands Back" from "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" on the episode page, but they rejected me and told me to post them here. However, looking at the page, there really doesn't seem to be a place to put them other than the section for the episode. Should there be a section for lyrics to music featured prominently in the show? 76.174.21.127 19:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * We try to avoid having whole songs in pages. There are definite copyright issues with that, for one thing; we try to avoid quoting anything in full, whether it be a scene or a song. So, in this case, regardless of the fact that the song was "Emmy-nominated", it really doesn't belong on this Wikiquote page. —LrdChaos (talk) 20:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Page organization
I don't like how this article is organized. People should be able to look for quotes by characters not episodes. Though i'm a huge Futurama fan i have no idea in what episodes which quote is. Please split this up and have Zapp's quotes in Zapp's site and Fry's quotes in his site.

 * Well, the way it's currently organized is the standard Wikiquote way of organizing it. Keeping the quotes grouped by episode means it's easy to see where it came from (important for providing sources).
 * There's also a simpler problem in grouping quotes by character: what do you do for dialogue? When only one main character is involved, it's easy, but what do you do when, for example, Fry and Leela have dialogue? Whose section should that bit go into? —LrdChaos (talk) 20:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Just use the search function on your browser... -128.113.151.74 17:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Season 5
There aren't any episodes listed from season five. Is it really that mediocre, or has no one picked up any quotes from those episodes yet?

Mordecai Richler

Mordecai Richler CC (January 27, 1931 – July 3, 2001) was a Canadian author, scriptwriter, and essayist.

The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1959)

 * This is an age of scientific wonders. You miss somebody so you pick up the phone to say hello. Three minutes for sixty-five cents. Nobody goes broke.
 * The chief rabbi of the underworld, that's me.

Barney's Version (1997)

 * I was a voracious reader, but you would be mistaken if you took that as evidence of my quality.

Other

 * Canada is not so much a country as a holding tank filled with the disgruntled progeny of defeated peoples. French-Canadians consumed by self-pity; the descendants of Scots who fled the Duke of Cumberland; Irish, the famine; and Jews, the Black Hundreds. Then there are the peasants from Ukraine, Poland, Italy and Greece, convenient to grow wheat and dig out the ore and swing the hammers and run the restaurants, but otherwise to be kept in their place. Most of us are huddled tight to the border, looking into the candy store window, scared of the Americans on one side and of the bush on the other.
 * Reported in Mark Steyn, "Mordecai Richler, 1931-2001", New Criterion (September 2001), Vol. 20, Issue 1, pp. 123–128.

 * My enduring feeling about René Lévesque is that if he had chosen to hang me, even as he tightened the rope round my neck, he would have complained about how humiliating it was for him to spring the trapdoor. And then, once I was swinging in the wind, he would blame my ghost for having obliged him to murder, thereby imposing a guilt trip on a sweet, self-effacing, downtrodden Francophone.
 * Reported in Donald Smith, D'une nation à l'autre: des deux solitudes à la cohabitation (Montreal: Éditions Alain Stanké, 1997), p. 61.

 * So far as one can generalize, the most gracious, cultivated, and innovative people in this country are French Canadians. Certainly they have given us the most exciting politicians of our time: Trudeau, Lévesque. Without them, Canada would be an exceedingly boring and greatly diminished place.
 * Reported in Donald Smith, D'une nation à l'autre: des deux solitudes à la cohabitation (Montreal: Éditions Alain Stanké, 1997), p. 61.

About Richler

 * ...the contempt that he has for Quebecers, and for the facts, that trickles from every page, hurt me, as a Quebecer, [...] as a journalist also, as an author, the intellectual dishonesty with which he plays with the facts, he makes comparisons that are absolutely unacceptable, it gave me an enormous headache to read this book, it stopped me from sleeping. [...] Evidently, here in Quebec, we know that he exaggerates, but someone has to say it to English Canadians.
 * "Controverse autour du livre Oh Canada Oh Québec!" video, Archives, Société Radio-Canada, March 31, 1992, retrieved September 22, 2006.

Sunset Boulevard (film)

Sunset Boulevard (also known as Sunset Blvd.) is a 1950 American film noir about a male screenwriter taking sanctuary in the home of an unwillingly retired silent film actress.
 * Directed by Billy Wilder. Written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder.

A Hollywood Story taglines

Norma Desmond

 * No one leaves a star. That's what makes one a star.
 * We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!
 * There once was a time in this business when I had the eyes of the whole world! But that wasn't good enough for them, oh no! They had to have the ears of the whole world too. So they opened their big mouths and out came talk. Talk! TALK!
 * They took the idols and smashed them, the Fairbankses, the Gilberts, the Valentinos! And who've we got now? Some nobodies!
 * The stars are ageless, aren't they?
 * Without me, there wouldn't be any Paramount studio.
 * I just want to tell you all how happy I am to be back in the studio, making a picture again! You don't know how much I've missed all of you. And I promise you I'll never desert you again because after Salome we'll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! There's nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!… All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

Dialogue

 * Joe Gillis: You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.
 * Norma Desmond: I am big. It's the pictures that got small.
 * Note: bolded line is ranked #24 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

 * Betty Schaefer: Don't you sometimes hate yourself?
 * Joe Gillis: Constantly.

 * Joe Gillis: I didn't know you were planning a comeback.
 * Norma Desmond: I hate that word. It's a return, a return to the millions of people who have never forgiven me for deserting the screen.

 * Joe Gillis: May I say that you smell really special?
 * Betty Schaefer: It must be my new shampoo.
 * Joe Gillis: That's no shampoo. It's more like freshly-laundered linen handkerchiefs, like a brand new automobile.

 * Joe Gillis: I've got some ideas myself. One of them being this is New Year's Eve. How about living it up a little?
 * Betty Schaefer: As for instance?
 * Joe Gillis: Well....
 * Betty Schaefer: We could make some paper boats and have a regatta. Or we could turn on the shower full blast.
 * Joe Gillis: How about capturing the kitchen and barricading the door?
 * Betty Schaefer: Are you hungry?
 * Joe Gillis: Hungry? After twelve years in the Burmese jungle. I am starving, Lady Agatha -- starving for a white shoulder --
 * Betty Schaefer: Phillip, you're mad!
 * Girl: You can have the phone now.
 * Joe Gillis: [Paying no attention] Thirsting for the coolness of your lips -
 * Betty Schaefer: No, Phillip, no. We must be strong. You're still wearing the uniform of the Coldstream Guards! Furthermore, you can have the phone now.
 * Joe Gillis: O.K. [He gets up, starts out, turns] Suddenly I find myself terribly afraid of losing you.
 * Betty Schaefer: You won't. [She takes the glass out of his hand] I'll get us a refill of this horrible liquid.
 * Joe Gillis: You'll be waiting for me?
 * Betty Schaefer: With a wildly beating heart.
 * Joe Gillis: Life can be beautiful! [He leaves.]

 * [after hearing that Norma Desmond has come to see DeMille]
 * First assistant director: I can tell her you're all tied up in the projection room. I can give her the brush.
 * Cecil B. DeMille: Thirty million fans have given her the brush. Isn't that enough?

 * Joe Gillis: Well, this is where you came in. Back at that pool again, the one I always wanted. It's dawn now, and they must have photographed me a thousand times. Then they got a couple of pruning hooks from the garden and fished me out, ever so gently. Funny how gentle people get with you once you're dead. They beached me like a harpooned baby whale and started to check the damage, just for the record. By this time, the whole joint was jumping - cops, reporters, neighbors, passersby, as much hoopdedoo as we get in Los Angeles when they open a supermarket. Even the newsreel guys came roaring in. Here was an item everybody could have some fun with, the heartless so-and-sos! What would they do to Norma? Even if she got away with it in court - crime of passion, temporary insanity - those headlines would kill her: 'Forgotten Star a Slayer,' 'Aging Actress,' 'Yesterday's Glamour Queen'...

 * Max: Are you ready, Norma?
 * Norma: What is the scene? Where am I?
 * Max: This is the staircase of the palace.
 * Norma: [readying herself] Oh yes, yes. Down below, they're waiting for the princess. I'm ready.
 * Max: [shouting] All right. Cameras! Action!

 * Gloria Swanson - Norma Desmond

Queen & Country

Queen & Country is a comic book published by Oni Press and written by Greg Rucka with various artists illustrating.

Chapter 1

 * Tara: [narrating] First rule...keep moving. Second rule...find a crowd.

Chapter 2

 * Tom: How are you feeling?
 * Tara: Leg's fine, Tom.
 * Tom: There's both fine, you ask me.

Chapter 3

 * Tara: [narrating] I am, after all, worth one million dollars. Or at least, that's what the red mafia is willing to pay for my head. Not really the same thing, is it?

Chapter 4

 * Tara: [narrating] There's a trick, they teach it to you at the School. When someone pulls a gun on you, they say…charge at him like a bloody lunatic…It's the last thing they expect and most of them can't hit water from a submarine anyway…and repeat to yourself over and over that you're doing this for Queen and Country.

Chapter 1

 * Tara: What are you writing?
 * Psychologist: Just my notes. They're confidential, just between you and me.
 * Tara: Then I can read them?
 * Psychologist: Certainly. Have I got it right so far?
 * [Notes read "Reticent. Suspicious."]

Chapter 2

 * Tara: …Bloody talking about me like I can't hear them! I'm a spy for God's sake!

Chapter 3

 * Kate: Minder Two as requested, sir.
 * Crocker: Show her in, Kate. And if we could get some coffee, I won't have to fire you.
 * Kate: I obey.

Chapter 1

 * Tara: Because sweat, mud and shite make a girl glow.
 * Ed: Works for me.

Chapter 2

 * Tara: Either you move right now, or I shall move you…and I shall do it in such a way as to make your future a very high-pitched one.

Chapter 3

 * Crocker: But if he is, then Ed's just bought us a chance to prevent a major C.B.W. incident.
 * Tom: Sound good at his wake, won't it?

Chapter 4

 * Tom: …And hail the conquering hero. Back from Iraq with not a scratch to show for it.
 * Ed: Oh, I've got scratches…Just none that I'm willing to show you.

Chapter 5

 * Tara: How fast are you?
 * David: When someone's shooting at me? I'm bloody Carl Lewis.

Chapter 1

 * Tara: An affair, by definition, is conducted with a degree of discretion, if not secrecy.

Chapter 2

 * Lisa: We ran "Andre" here through the visual database, looking to match his face with any on file.
 * Tom: Don't tell me it actually worked?
 * Lisa: Heavens no. It never does. The computer always wants to match the subject with the late Queen Mother, may she rest in peace.

Chapter 3

 * Tara: My friend fell in love with you, Anton…and that's the only reason I haven't started putting my fags out on your face.

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Quotes

 * When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

 * I have this kind of philosophy that I can't do anything about what happened yesterday, or what's going to happen tomorrow. But I feel in full control of what's going on now. I think worry will make you sick. I've never seen it accomplish anything. I've never seen worrying about anything change it. So I decided not to do it. If you can't do anything about it, why in the hell worry about it? Every negative thought you have releases poison into your system, and will kill you or give you cancer, or tumors or whatever else you can think of. So if you are thinking negative about anything, erase that.

 * I started learning my lessons in Abbot Texas, where I was born in 1933. My sister Bobbie and I were raised by our grandparents [...] We never had enough money, and Bobbie and I started working at an early age to help the family get by. That hard work included picking cotton. [...] Picking cotton is hard and painful work, and the most lasting lesson I learned in the fields was that I didn't want to spend my life picking cotton.

 * Well, there was a guy, a blacksmith, in Abbott, and he and my granddad both had blacksmith's jobs. I hung around there a lot. And he had a family band. He just let me play because he knew I wanted to work and needed the work. So, I played a guitar in a big polka band with a lot of horns and everything. So, fortunately, no one ever heard me, because I wasn't that great. But I was nine or 10 years old and making eight to 10 dollars a night. So, it was easier than picking cotton.

 * In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity[...]it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong [...]I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

 * Bob Wills taught me how to be a bandleader and how to be a star. [...] There was no time wasted between songs. I learned from him to keep the people moving and dancing. [...] The more you keep the music going, the smoother the evening will be. Another thing he taught me was people came and paid their money to hear what they wanted to hear. Even if Bob had a mediocre band that night, the people knew his records and his radio shows and they heard what they thought Bob Wills sounded like. Whether he had a good night or a bad night, every night was a good night.

 * (Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.

 * It didn't take long for me to realize that writing, performing and singing songs was what I was meant to do, but what other people thought was an entirely different issue. If I had to break it down, I’d say about 99 percent of the people in my life were telling me I wasn’t going to make it. All that adversity and lack of faith ended up just strengthening my own convictions.  All that negativity really helped me in the end, because there’s no better inspiration for doing something than having somebody say that you can’t do it.

 * I have more dumb luck thank anybody I know. There must be a convey of guardian angels working twenty-four hours a day looking after me[...] Like the night I first got to Nashville that I laid down in the middle of Broadway, waiting to get run over. It didn't happen [...] I could swear they were keeping me alive just to see what I'd get next, I'm glad they feel that way. I'm trying to help them a little more this days.

 * When I left Nashville I went to Texas because that's where I came from, and because I was playing in Texas a lot in different places. And I saw hippies and rednecks drinking beer together and smoking dope together and having a good time together and I knew it was possible to get all groups of people together – long hair, short hair, no hair – and music would bring them together.

 * We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the commons denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.

 * Marijuana is like sex. If I don't do it every day, I get a headache. I think marijuana should be recognized for what it is, as a medicine, an herb that grows in the ground. If you need it, use it.

 * I had gotten up to two, maybe three, packs (of cigarettes) a day. And my lungs were bothering me and I'd had pneumonia two or three times. And I was also smoking pot, and I decided, well, one of them's got to go. And so I took a pack of Chesterfields and took all the Chesterfields out, rolled up 20 big fat ones and put it in there, and I haven't smoked a cigarette since then.

 * When I was out in the bars drinking and fighting I was a little bit less of a peacemaker than I would be if I'd had a coupla hits of a joint and gone and laid down somewhere.

 * Family farmers are small farmers who love the land. They're still not getting enough money for their product and are rapidly losing their battle to stay in business. By helping the American family farmer, we will in turn help ourselves out of the economic hole that we find ourselves in today. It doesn't really matter how we got here; the point is, we have to dig our way out.

 * Biodiesel seems to be the answer to a lot of our prayers. Not only can it help the U.S. economy, our unwanted dependence on foreign oil, and the gasping environment, it could also help the family farmers out of this tragic dilemma they have found themselves in through no fault of their own.

 * Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.
 * Playboy interview, November 2002.

 * When you think a negative thought, it releases poison in your system. Next thing you know, you wind up with cancer or other diseases. I try to live in the moment without regrets.

 * I'm just an ole redneck from Texas who ain't a Democrat or Republican, but I can look at a guy and tell whether I like him or not.

Misattributed

 * Three chords and the truth — that’s what a country song is.
 * Nelson clarified in his autobiography, It's A Long Story: My Life that it was an original phrase from songwriter Harlan Howard. An example of Nelson quoting the phrase:

 * I'm not going to get married again, I think I'll just find a woman that hates me, then buy her a house.
 * Also attributed to Lewis Grizzard, among others.

Quotes about Willie

 * I always heard that his herb was top shelf Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself. Well don't knock it till you've tried it. And I've tried it my friend. I'll never smoke weed with Willie again! Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around The last words I spoke before they tucked me in "I may discount Bungee jump but, I'll never smoke weed with Willie again."
 * Toby Keith and Scotty Emerick, "Weed With Willie", Shock'n Y'all (2003)

 * I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it begins You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend. But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
 * Toby Keith and Scotty Emerick, "Weed With Willie", Shock'n Y'all (2003)

 * In the fetal position with drool on my chin We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again
 * Toby Keith and Scotty Emerick, "Weed With Willie", Shock'n Y'all (2003)

Mister Trouble never hangs around When he hears this mighty sound "Here I come to save the day!" That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

Yessir, when there is a wrong to right Mighty Mouse will join the fight On the sea or on the land He gets the situation well in hand!

So, though we are in danger, we never despair 'Cause we know that where there's danger he is there He is there, on the land, on the sea, in the air!

We're not worryin' at all We're just listenin' for his call "Here I come to save the day!" That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

We're not worryin' at all We're just listenin' for his call "Here I come to save the day!" That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

Mighty Mouse: Here he comes, that Mighty Mouse Coming to vanquish the foe with a mighty blow So don't be afraid anymore Choir: 'Cause things won't be like they've been before!

Mighty Mouse: Here I come to save the day! Choir: Thank goodness Mighty Mouse is on his way So let the trumpet players play For Mighty Mouse is here today!

Mighty Mouse: Here he comes, that Mighty Mouse Just like a bolt from the blue with a heart that's true Fighting evil, fighting crime Choir: And always there in the nick of time

Mighty Mouse: Here he comes to save the day Choir: And he will prove that crime will never pay So let the trumpet players play For Mighty Mouse is here today!

Mighty Mouse in "The Great Space Chase"

 * Narrator: Our saga begins...in the midst of a break-neck chase!

 * Mighty Mouse:   Mighty Mouse is on the way! Here I come to save the day!

 * Mighty Mouse: Don't worry, Pearl! I'll be right there!

 * 1st Mate: Queen Pearl, there's an asteroid belt straight ahead!

 * 1st Mate: Queen Pearl, the Milky Way is dead ahead!
 * Pearl: Change course! 3.2 micro units to Star Coordinate M-18!
 * 1st Mate: Huh? What do you...
 * Pearl: Hang a right!
 *
 * Harry: Activate the electro-expagators!  Lucky that wasn't the Yogurt Way!  That stuff really sticks to the windows!

 * Pearl: Mighty Mouse, do you have the feeling we're being watched?
 * Mighty Mouse: Oh, tut-tut, Pearl. It's just your imagination!   Then again, I could be wrong!

 * Mighty Mouse: I think we just discovered Harry's secret lair.
 * Pearl: I knew we could count on him.

 * Mighty Mouse: THIS will put stars in his eyes!
 *

 * Mighty Mouse: I don't know what came over me, Queen Pearl! You never affected me like that!
 * Pearl: Let's just catch Harry, okay?!

 * Mighty Mouse: Look; this is the fine tuning cog! The Domesday Device must be close by!

 * Harry: You may have freed your miserable ship, but I have you, Pearl! And you're going to tell me where the Interstellar Federation hides the Domesday Device! Once I have it, I will have the power to conquer the universe! The power to rule the galaxy! The power to make the planets grovel at my feet!
 * Pearl: You're mad for power! That's all you want!
 * Harry: Actually, I wouldn't mind a little money, too. So tell me, where is the Domesday Device?
 * Pearl: No! No! 1,000 times no! I'd rather die!:
 * Harry: Don't tempt me!

 * Pearl: It's too bad one of us isn't an anchovy. Nobody eats anchovies!
 * 1st Mate: How much longer can we hold out?
 * Pearl: Not much longer, I'm afraid. Goodbye, first mate!
 * 1st Mate: Don't say goodbye! We're not finished yet!
 * Pearl: No? Stand on the bottom and say that!

 * Mighty Mouse: Ah, this is the life. I hope no ants come along and spoil it! (ants come to picnic and leave Pearl's ship) I knew the one thing they couldn't resist was a picnic. By the way, where is the ship?
 * Pearl: I'm standing on it. Don't worry, Mighty Mouse. We always carry a spare!

 * King Muss: Mighty Mouse! And the Domesday Device is gone!  Oh, I can't believe it!
 * Pearl: I hate to do this, but I must. Mighty Mouse, in the name of the Interstellar Federation, I arrest you for stealing the Domesday Device.
 * Mighty Mouse: You're making a mistake, but I'd be the last one to resist the authority of law and order. I'll go peacefully.  <lets police handcuff him; the police, King Muss, and Pearl all shed tears>

 * King Muss: Order in the court! Order in the court!
 * Someone in crowd: I'll take a Swiss cheese on rye!
 * King Muss: (ignoring comment) The next case is Humongo vs. Mighty Mouse, but first, I declare the court has a recess! (jumps rope 5 times) Recess is over! (tosses rope away) Don't worry, Mighty Mouse. We are going to give you a fair trial, before we find you guilty.
 * Mighty Mouse: Your honor, I appeal to you!
 * King Muss: Not as much as Queen Pearl does! Queen Pearl, will you take the stand? (He turns and notices the stand is missing) Whoops! Looks like somebody already took it! Ha!

 * Mighty Mouse: Would you like me to whisper sweet nothings in your ear?
 * Matta Furri: I'd prefer it if you'd whisper the location of the last remaining ounce of Hipporanium.
 * Mighty Mouse: Okay. <whispers in Matta Furi's ear>
 * Matta Furri: A little louder, please!
 * Mighty Mouse: Star Coordinates 66Z-1776, Omega.
 * <Harry turns off TV screen>
 * Harry: Thanks, you romantic fool, you!

 * Harry: Swifty, hand me the main cable!
 * Swifty: Okay, boss.
 * Pearl: Psst. Not that one. The other one.
 * Swifty: Oh, gee; thanks!

 * Pearl: One bad thing about being a villain, Harry; you always seem to get it in the end.
 * Harry: Normally this sort of thing would make me angry. But this time, I'm furious!

 * Matta Furri: Come here, big boy!

 * Pearl: All right, you! What did you do to him?
 * Mighty Mouse: Wow! That was some kiss!
 * Pearl: Oh, for goodness sake!
 * Matta Furri: Goodness had nothing to do with it!

 * King Muss: Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? The absolutely true truth?  The truly true truth?  The positively true truth?
 * Pearl: I do. I do. Well, I was in the middle of a conference with King Muss.  I wondered whether the Domesday Device was safe here on Humongo.  Suddenly, an alarm went off.  When we got to the vault, the device was... ...gone! I thought Harry the Heartless had stolen it, but there, in the empty vault, was...was...Mighty Mouse!
 * King Muss: Ooh. It looks bad for you, Mighty Mouse.  I have a feeling you're going to spend the next 900 years rotting away in a cold, damp, dark prison cell.
 * Mighty Mouse: But I'm a superhero. Everyone knows of my valor and good deeds.
 * King Muss: Hmmm. In that case, maybe we can get you a cell with a view.
 * Mighty Mouse: This trial is a joke!
 * <Harry has been listening in from his ship>
 * Harry: Yeah, and an old one, too!

 * Harry: There it is! It's a toy store! Ah! I hate toys, well, except for one toy I had. It was an unbreakable toy. I used it to break everybody else's!

 * Santa Claus: <after seeing a jack-in-the-box> I'll take several hundred billion of them! Ho, ho, ho!
 * Harry: Ho, ho, ho, yourself, lardo, and get lost!
 * <Harry throws Santa out of "Toys We Is">
 * Swifty: Master! Do you know who that was?
 * Harry: Come on, Swifty. There's no such person as...
 * <scene on Santa>
 * Santa Claus: Well! Wait until I tell the tooth fairy about this!

 * Swifty: Hipporanium!
 * Harry: For the first time in your life, Swifty, you are bright! Grab some of those ant farms, too!

 * Mighty Mouse: Ha! This tin cat thinks he can keep me from rescuing Queen Pearl. He doesn't know it but he's headed for cat-tastrophe!

 * Swifty: What kind of a fool do you take me for?
 * Harry: I didn't know there were different kinds!

 * Swifty: Master, did you hear that?
 * Harry: No, I didn't hear it, you claude!
 * Swifty: He said, "Whoo, whoo; ding, ding, ding! Mighty Mouse is on board the ship!  Ding, ding!"
 * Harry: OF COURSE I HEARD HIM! SO HURRY UP!  STEP ON IT!
 * <Swifty steps on the foot pedal he wasn't supposed to press.>
 * Pearl: Poor choice of words.

 * Harry: <after being beamed aboard with Swifty but the two bodies have been mixed up> Can't you bimbos ever get it right?!

 * Harry: Load those torpedo tubes, Swifty. We're going to send Queen Pearl these ant farms.
 * Swifty: Oh, what a thoughtful gesture. Is it her birthday?
 * Harry: No, you turkey! These are Martian metal-eating ants!

 * Harry: Just a momentary setback, Queen Pearl! Nothing can stop me from crushing you and the Interstellar Federation!
 * Pearl: Why? The Federation stands only for peace and good.  Why are you bent on its destruction?
 * Harry: Everybody's gotta have a hobby!

 * Harry: Come on; open it!
 * Swifty: Wouldn't it be better to wait until Christmas?
 * Harry: I never wait until Christmas to open my presents! Go on; open it!
 * <Swifty eventually manages to pry it open. Harry stares dumbfounded.>
 * Swifty: It's a...it's a...
 * Harry: It's a no good, stinking, lousy KIT! Look at that!  "Domesday Device Kit!  2 D-cell baterries required!"  That means we have to put the dang blasted thing together ourselves!
 * <Harry kicks the kit in anger, and eventually the lid pops open, revealing all the parts, which spill on top of Harry and Swifty.>
 * Swifty: Well, at least we got it out of the box!

 * Swifty: I had a chemistry set once. All it did was turn water different colors.

 * Harry: Uh, me Harry the Heartless. Me land in giant bird.
 * Ug: Funny; from here, it looked like a star cruiser. Pleased to meet you.  Me, Ug.
 * Mug: Me, Mug.
 * Reginald: Me, Reginald Algernon Whitecap III.
 * Harry: Reginald Algernon Whitecap III?
 * Reginald: My parents wanted a girl!

 * Swifty: Master! Are you sure we can put this thing together?
 * Harry: Of course, we can put it together! Why, a 6-year-old child could do it!   Uh, go get me a 6-year-old child!

 * Narrator: Could this be the end of our heroine?
 * Pearl: What was that explosion?
 * Narrator: I guess not. That's a relief.  But then, what was that explosion?
 * Harry: I'll tell you what it was! This sap couldn't put together my Domesday Device!
 * Swifty: But, Master, I followed the directions!
 * Harry: Give me those directions!    "Take the San Diego freeway north to the Slosan off-ramp."  <screams as Swifty runs off> COME BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!

 * Harry: Come on, you little neanderthals! Get to work and fix my ship!
 * Mouse 1: Who made you in charge?
 * Mouse 2: U-turn is free! U-turn is democracy!
 * Harry: A democracy! Isn't that sweet?  Okay.  I vote for...<takes a laser beam out and destroys a national monument>...ME!
 * <The mice begin to shiver in fear.>
 * Reginald: I vote we make it unanimous!
 * <The mice then frantically fix the ship.>
 * Harry: All it takes is a little friendly persuasion!

 * Harry: Mice of U-turn, as we prepared to do battle against that no-good Mighty Mouse, I want you to...REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

 * Swifty: Master, look! Up in the sky!
 * Harry: It's that nerd!
 * Swifty: It's that pain!
 * Harry and Swifty together: IT'S MIGHTY MOUSE!

 * Mouse 1: Remember the Alamo!
 * Mouse 2: Yeah; remember the Alamo!
 * Pearl: Oh! Why, that evil Harry the Heartless must have told them that you killed Davy Crockett!
 * Harry: Remember, men, I'm right beside you, fighting to the bitter end, to my last breath!
 * Crew member:   Master, our ship is repaired!
 * Harry: <to Swifty> Let's get out of here!

 * Harry: Not bad, and decorative as well! I hope those saps can do as good a job on Mighty Mouse!

 * Pearl: Mighty Mouse, what are we going to do?
 * Mighty Mouse: I don't know, Pearl! I've never had to use my mighty powers against mice before!
 * Mouse 1: REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

 * Swifty: Master, look at them ferocious dogs! What are we gonna do?
 * Harry: First, locks; now beagles, eh? Don't worry.  I have this raid timed to perfection!
 *
 * Butch:   Ah, that's it. Time to go home.
 * <The two dogs rush to clock out.>
 * Spike: See you tomorrow, Butch.
 * Butch: So long, Spike.
 * Swifty: Oh, Master, you're the greatest!
 * Harry: Lieutenant, you may be a useless, half-witted claude, but you do have good taste!

 * Swifty: Look, master. A brilliant and skilled secret agent.  What are we gonna do?
 * <Harry scribbles a note on a piece of paper and shows it to the agent.>
 * Harry: Hey, you. I got a note from your mother for you.
 * Agent:   "Dear son, please hurry home. Your loving mother, Mildred."  But my mom's name is Matilda, not Mildred.
 * Harry: Let me see that!
 * Agent: "Your loving mother, Matilda." Whoops; gotta go!  <packs up everything in suitcase, even his chair> Would you mind watching the Domesday Device for me?

 * Narrator: And so, as the celebration criss-crosses the jubilant skies of the galaxy, we bid farewell to the dedicated crew of the starship, the courageous compassion of Queen Pearl Pureheart, and to the heroic...uh...blushing of Mighty Mouse. And that's the way it is.  This is...
 * Harry: <pushes screen and interrupts> Mark my words, I'll be... <screen pushes him back, movie ends>

Mouse of the Desert

 * (Harry kicks the book Swifty is hiding under and sneaks off.)
 * Set: Whew! That Harry is so mean, he even scares me!

 * Harry: Your Divine Imperial Highness, I have brought you a basket of figs from Luxor. Their sweetness is as renowned as your wisdom and compassion.

 * Set: I am Set...
 * Harry: (interrupting) Listen, you big, grape alley cat! You better get the queen, now!

 * Mighty Mouse: Later on, you'll fang me for this!

 * Set: This looks like the end of the dynasty for you, Pureheartiti! [He looks inside.] Mighty Mouse!  This is a pleasant surprise!

 * Dad: When's that kid going to go to sleep?
 * Mom: Why don't you get him a glass of warm milk?

 * <Harry has just blown the foghorn>
 * Swifty: Don't do that! Don't go, " ," go, " ".
 * <Harry points at the farm>
 * Swifty: Wow, that darn near is pretty, as a Norman Rockwell calendar.   Hey! What's a farm doing on the ocean bottom?!
 * Harry: That is Pearl Pureheart's undersea farm! And my diabolical plan is to capture her ship and use it to pray on other vessels!
 * Mighty Mouse:   You're not going to prey on vessels! You're going to pray on your knees!

 * Harry: And now, good night, sweet rodent! Rust in peace!

 * Harry: Have you ever heard of the Maltese Mouse?
 * Pearl: The Maltese Mouse?
 * Mighty Mouse: The Maltese Mouse? Oh, yeah.  I remember.

 * Pearl: Hey; what's with this Maltese Mouse?
 * Harry: Well, it all started deep in the ocean blue when Mighty Mouse found the Maltese Mouse on a sunken pirate ship. The Maltese Mouse is made out of solid genuine plastic.
 * Pearl: If it's made out of plastic, why is it so important?
 * Harry: It has great sentimental value. Mighty Mouse put it on display at the Mouseville Museum, but an eccentric millionaire stole it for his private collection!

 * Narrator: So, thanks to Mighty Mouse, the Olympics were born!

The First Deadly Cheese

 * Crew member: Before you can say what?
 * Crew leader: I don't know. Must be Latin.  You know these intellectuals!

 * Cow: Whatever you do, Mighty Mouse, don't say it! Don't say it!
 * Mighty Mouse: You mean, don't say "I'm taking you to the hoosegow?"

 * Cow: I'll lure Mighty Mouse with this psuedo-Pearl, then expose him to Limburgerite! Once the mice are stripped of their champion, I can make them stop eating cheese for good!

This Island Mouseville

 * Mighty Mouse: [in operatic mode] You dirty cad! You're really sad! Why don't you give up now?!

 * Crew member: Oh, no! A dissatisfied customer!

 * Maxie: A straw with no paper! [gasps] Relish on the counter!  [gasps again]  OH, NO!  SPECIAL SAUCE ON THE CUPS!  ARGH!  WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?
 * Mighty Mouse: [sings] I cannot tell a lie! It is I!
 * Maxie: YOU? YOU!  I'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS UP MY RESTAURANT!

 * Mighty Mouse: Ready for your next mission, Bronze Boarder?

Collateral (film)

Collateral is a 2004 film film about a cab driver who finds himself the hostage of an engaging contract killer as he makes his rounds from hit to hit during one night in Los Angeles.
 * Directed by Michael Mann and written by Stuart Beattie.

It started like any other night.

Vincent

 * I am a cool guy, with a job I contracted to do.
 * [after the nightclub shootout] Only thing that didn't show up is the Polish cavalry.
 * Don't get me cornered. You don't have the trunk space.
 * If you open that trunk, they go inside.
 * Yo, homie. Is that my briefcase?
 * [after Max crashes the cab] Well, that was brilliant...
 * [after Max destroys his briefcase] All my prep was in there! You are screwing with my work! Let's see what else you can do.
 * Max, I do this for a living!
 * You attract attention, you're going to get people killed who didn't need to be.
 * Most people, ten years from now, same job, same place, same routine. Everything the same. Just keeping it safe over and over and over. Ten years from now. Man, you don’t know where you’ll be ten minutes from now . ..
 * [aims a handgun at Max] Red light, Max.
 * Get with it. Millions of galaxies of hundreds of millions of stars, and a speck on one in a blink. That's us, lost in space. The cop, you, me... Who notices?
 * [Mockingly] "Someday, someday my dream will come?" One night you'll wake up and you'll discover it never happened. It's all turned around on you, and it never will. Suddenly you are old. It didn't happen, and it never will because you were never going to do it anyway. You'll push it into memory, then zone out in your barcalounger, being hypnotized by daytime TV for the rest of your life.  Don't you talk to me about murder. All it ever took was a down payment on a Lincoln Town Car, and that girl... you can't even call that girl. What the fuck are you still doing driving a cab?
 * Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices.
 * Hey, Max, a guy gets on the MTA here in L.A. and dies. Think anybody will notice?
 * There's no good reason, there's no bad reason to live or to die.

Max

 * [about Vincent] Definitely not from around here.
 * [after seeing the guy fall on his cab's roof] My man, you all right?
 * [right before he crashes the cab, to Vincent] Go fuck yourself.
 * That's why I tossed the list -- the work ups, all of that shit. To protect, in part, your... Hermes, Facconable ass. What, do you think I like coming in here? But hey. Shit happens. Gotta roll with it. Adapt. Darwin, I Ching.
 * I'm not Vincent, my name is Max! I'm a goddamn cab driver!
 * If I'm wrong you get an apology, I already used up my free ride for tonight.

Others

 * Airport Man / Frank Martin: Enjoy L.A.
 * Daniel: I mean, everybody and their momma knew you don't just come up and talk to Miles Davis. I mean, he may have looked like he was chilling, but he was absorbed. This one hip couple, one of them tried to shake his hand one day. And the guy says, "Hi, my name is..." Miles said, "Get the fuck outta my face, you jive motherfucker, and take your silly bitch with you."
 * Traffic Cop: Hey, man, what did you do, have a food fight in here?

Dialogue

 * Max: How do you like being a lawyer?
 * Annie: What are you, psychic?
 * Max: Little bit. There's the dark pin-stripe suit, elegant, not too flashy, that rules out advertising, plus a top-drawer briefcase that you live out of. And the purse. A Bottega. Anyway, a man gets in my cab with a sword, I figure he's a sushi chef. You: Clarence Darrow.

 * Annie: Well, how many cabbies do you know get you into an argument to save you money?
 * Max: If there were two of us I'd have to kill the other one. I don't like competition.

 * Vincent: What's your name?
 * Max: Max.
 * Vincent: Max. I'm Vincent.
 * Max: First time in L.A.?
 * Vincent: No. Tell you the truth, whenever I'm here I can't wait to leave. It's too sprawled out, disconnected. You know? That's me. You like it?
 * Max: It's my home.
 * Vincent: 17 million people. This is got to be the fifth biggest economy in the world and nobody knows each other. I read about this guy who gets on the MTA here, dies.
 * Max: Oh.
 * Vincent: Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices.

 * Max: Hey. He, he, he fell on the cab. He fell, he fell from up there on the motherfucking cab. Shit. I think he's dead.
 * Vincent: Good guess.
 * Max: You killed him?
 * Vincent: No, I shot him. Bullets and the fall killed him.

 * Max: I can't drive you around while you're killing folks. It ain't my job!
 * Vincent: Tonight it is.

 * Vincent: Okay, look, here's the deal. Man, you were gonna drive me around tonight, never be the wiser, but El Gordo got in front of a window, did his high dive, we're into Plan B. Still breathing? Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, shit happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.
 * Max: I Ching? What are you talking about, man? You threw a man out of a window.
 * Vincent: I didn't throw him. He fell.
 * Max: Well what did he do to you?
 * Vincent: What?
 * Max: What did he do to you?
 * Vincent: Nothing. I only met him tonight.
 * Max: You just met him once and you killed him like that?
 * Vincent: What? I should only kill people after I get to know them? Max, six billion people on the planet, you're getting bent out of shape cause of one fat guy.
 * Max: Well, who was he?
 * Vincent: What do you care? Have you ever heard of Rwanda?
 * Max: Yes, I know Rwanda.
 * Vincent: Well, tens of thousands killed before sundown. Nobody's killed people that fast since Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Did you bat an eye, Max?
 * Max: What?
 * Vincent: Did you join Amnesty International, Oxfam, Save the Whales, Greenpeace, or something? No. I off one fat Angelino and you throw a hissy fit.
 * Max: Man, I don't know any Rwandans.
 * Vincent: You don't know the guy in the trunk, either.

 * Vincent: [after Vincent and Max load a corpse into the cab's trunk] Let's go.
 * Max: Hey, why don't you just take the cab?
 * Vincent: Take the cab?
 * Max: Yeah, you take it. I'll - I'll chill. I'll - I'll just chill. They don't even know who's driving these things half the time anyway. They never check or anything. Okay... so... just - just take it. You, me...
 * Vincent: You promise not to tell anybody right?
 * Max: Yeah... yeah... yeah... Promise.
 * Vincent: Get in the fucking car.
 * Max: If you just...
 * Vincent: Get in the car.

 * Vincent: Lady Macbeth, we're sitting here and the light's green. Leave the seats.
 * [A car horn honks behind Max. The car whips around them to get through the intersection]
 * Max: Asshole!
 * Vincent: You no longer have the cleanest cab in La-La Land. You gotta live with that. Focus on the job. Drive.

 * Traffic Cop #2: Hey, is this blood up here on your windshield?
 * Max: Yeah, uh, yeah. I hit a deer.
 * Traffic Cop #1: You hit a deer?
 * Max: Yeah, over on, uh, Slauson.
 * Traffic Cop #1: A South Central deer?

 * Max: [Max is on the radio dispatch with his boss, Lenny] Yeah, Lenny, what's up? It's me.
 * Lenny: Just got off the phone with the cops. Desk sergeant called to check if you brought the cab in?
 * Max: Yeah, so?
 * Lenny: So, aside from I hate talking to cops, they tell me you crashed the goddamn cab?
 * Max: No, no, I got crashed into. I didn't...
 * Lenny: Do I care what, where, why? You're paying.
 * Vincent: [to Max] It was an accident. You're not liable.
 * Max: It was an accident. I'm not liable.
 * Lenny: Bullshit. I'm making you liable. It's coming out of your goddamn pocket.
 * Vincent: [to Max] You tell him to stick this cab up his fat ass.
 * Max: I can't do that, that's my boss.
 * Vincent: So?
 * Max: I need my job.
 * Vincent: No, you don't.
 * Lenny: Still there? I'm talking to you. Max. Max!
 * Vincent: [over the radio] He's not paying you a damn thing.
 * Lenny: Who the hell is this?
 * Vincent: Albert Ricardo, Assistant U.S. Attorney, a passenger in this cab, and I'm reporting you to the DMV.
 * Lenny: Let's not, oh, let's not get excited.
 * Vincent: Not get excited? How am I supposed to not get excited? Listen, you try to extort a working man. You know goddamn well your collision policy and general liability umbrella will cover the damages. And what are you trying to pull, you sarcastic prick?
 * Lenny: Look, I was just trying to...
 * Vincent: Tell it to him. [to Max] Tell him he's an asshole. Go ahead.
 * Max: [to Lenny] You're an asshole.
 * Vincent: Tell him he pulls this shit again, you're gonna stick this yellow cab up his fat ass.
 * Max: [to Lenny] And, and next time you pull any shit, I'm gonna... I'm gonna have to stick this yellow cab up... up your fat ass.

 * Vincent: They project onto you their flaws, what they don't like about themselves. I had a father like that.
 * Max: Mothers are worse.
 * Vincent: Wouldn't know. My mother died before I remember her.
 * Max: What about your father?
 * Vincent: Hated everything I did. Got drunk, beat me up. In and out of foster homes, that kinda thing.
 * Max: And then?
 * Vincent: I killed him. I was twelve.
 * [Pauses, then laughs]
 * Vincent: I'm kidding. He died of liver disease.
 * Max: Well, I'm sorry.
 * Vincent: No, you're not.

 * Fanning: [cops are in alley outside Ramon's apartment] Ramon went through that window... splat. Glass here, then tires rolled over it.
 * Richard Weidner: Maybe he jumped.
 * Fanning: Sure... he's depressed so he jumps four stories out of a window onto his head. "Wow, that feels better." Picks himself up. "Now I think I'll go on with the rest of my day."

 * Pedrosa: What's up? Why do you want to know about our case?
 * Fanning: Any unusual activity tonight?
 * Pedrosa: Like what?
 * Fanning: That relates to a series of murders in Wilshire Central or West Hollywood?
 * Pedrosa: All quiet on the western front. Various people are asleep. Various people are awake. They come and go in cars, pickups, taxis. Other than that, we watch the air move.

 * Max: How long have you been doing this? In case anyone asks?
 * Vincent: Private sector? Six years.
 * Max: Uh... you get health benefits? Pension...?
 * Vincent: No, and no paid vacation. Quit stalling, and get in there.

 * Felix: Now you're here. Why?
 * Max: I lost my stuff. The list.
 * Felix: I want you to listen to me real well. Special groups put together the list of dedos.
 * Max: Dedos?
 * Felix: Fingers, informants. Signal interceptions with voice-recognition software, surveillance. A very expensive counter-intelligence worked up that list. An important list, wouldn't you say? And you lost it?
 * Max: Yeah, I'm sorry. Sorry.
 * Felix: Sorry? 'Sorry' does not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

 * Felix: Do you believe in Santa Claus?
 * Max: No.
 * Felix: Nor do I. Nor do I, but my children do. They are still small. But do you know who they like even better than Santa Claus? His helper, Pedro el Negro. Black Peter. There's an old Mexican tale that tells of how Santa Claus got so very busy looking out for the good children that he had to hire some help to look out for the bad children. So he hired Pedro. And Santa Claus gave him a list with all the names of all the bad children. And Pedro would come every night to check them out. And the people, the little kids that were misbehaving, that were not saying their prayers, Pedro would leave a little toy donkey on their window. A little burro. And he would come back, and if the children were still misbehaving, Pedro would take them away, and nobody would ever see them again. Now, if I am being Santa Claus, and you are Pedro, how do you think jolly Santa Claus would feel if one day Pedro came into his office and said, "I lost the list."? How FUCKING FURIOUS do you think he will get?

 * Felix: What do you think?
 * Max: I think...
 * [Max sees one of Felix's bodyguard draw his gun out]
 * Max: I think you should you should tell that guy behind me to put his gun down.
 * Felix: What?
 * Max: I said I think you should tell that guy behind me to put his gun down, before I take it and beat his bitch ass to death with it.

 * Max: The fat man, the penthouse guy, the jazz man. That leaves two.
 * Felix: Can you finish?
 * Max: In six years, when have I not?

 * Fanning: [referring to Max] According to the cab company's dispatch unit, he's been driving that cab for twelve years.
 * Pedrosa: So what?
 * Fanning: So you're telling me the guy walks into a phone booth, and shazam, changes into a meat-eater super assassin? What's he do, squeeze them in between fares?

 * Max: I'm not taking you to see my mother.
 * Vincent: Since when was any of this negotiable?

 * Vincent: You're alive. I saved you. Do I get any thanks? No. All you can do is clam up. You wanna talk? Tell me to fuck off?
 * Max: Fuck off.

 * Max: Why didn't you just kill me and get another cab driver?
 * Vincent: Cause you're good. We're in this together. Fates intertwined. Cosmic coincidence.

 * Max: You're full of shit.
 * Vincent: I'm full of shit? You're a monument of it. You even bullshitted yourself, all I am is taking out the garbage, killing bad people.
 * Max: Yeah, well that's what you said.
 * Vincent: You believed me?
 * Max: Then what'd they do?
 * Vincent: How do I know, you know? They all got that 'witness for the prosecution' look to me. Probably some major federal indictment of somebody who majorly does not want to get indicted.

 * Vincent: There's no good reason, there's no bad reason to live or to die.
 * Max: Then what are you?
 * Vincent: I'm indifferent.

 * Max: What's with you?
 * Vincent: As in?
 * Max: As in, if somebody had a gun to your head and said: "You gotta tell me what's going on with this person over here or I'm gonna kill you. What is driving him? What was he thinking?" You know, you couldn't do it, could you, because... They would have to kill your ass because you don't know what anyone else is thinking. I think you're low, my brother. Way low. Like, what were you? One of those institutionalized raised guys? Anybody home? And standard– And the s– standard parts that are supposed to be there in people, in you... aren't. ...And why haven't you killed me yet?
 * Vincent: Of all the cabbies in L.A. I get Max: Sigmund Freud meets Dr. Ruth.

 * Vincent: [Visiting Ida] Flowers?
 * Max: It's a waste of money. Won't mean a thing to her.
 * Vincent: [Staring him down] She carried you in her womb for nine months. People buy flowers. Buy flowers.

 * Max: I brought you flowers.
 * Ida: What'm I do with flowers?
 * Max: Cheer up.
 * Ida: How? By worrying that you spend money on stuff that's just gon' wilt and die?
 * Max: [to Vincent] See what I mean? I didn't buy you flowers, Mom. He did.

 * Daniel: Just when I thought you were a cool guy.
 * Vincent: I am a cool guy, with a job I contracted to do.

 * [to Cindy] You can do anything you want, anything you put your heart and mind into!

 * You ignored the Ronald Miller geek for seventeen years, now you want to ride the Ronnie Miller express!

 * [to his dad, about his brother] Here is the prime example. You're raising a doll-chopping homicidal maniac, and what do you do every time you see him? You give him money. Great!

 * [Talking to Cindy outside her house] I need to talk to you. Every time I call, you're either taking a bath, washing your hair or you're out of the country. That was a good one, by the way.

 * [to Cindy] Oh! You-- You demolished me New Year's Eve. But see-- I realize you did me a favor. You brought me back to reality. All I ever wanted to do was get close to you. And then, when I finally got there, it wasn't me anymore.

Cindy Mancini

 * Guys, take a look at my forehead... do you see a sign that says information?

 * [to Ronald] Iris? Oh yeah, she's a big conquest. She's given more rides than Greyhound!

 * [at a party] You! Even Bobby thinks we went out. Great, huh? Ha! All of you thought we were a couple. What a joke!... Ronald Miller paid me 1,000 bucks to pretend I liked him. What a deal, huh? $1,000 to go out with him for a month. This guy. Oh, God. He bought me. And he bought all of you. He was sick and tired of being a nobody. Yeah, and he said that all of you guys would worship him if we went out. And I didn't believe that. I was, like, no way! And he was right! No, leave me alone. He was right. Our little plan worked, didn't it, Ronald? The dance. That stupid dance! What a bunch of followers you guys are. I mean, at least I got... At least I got paid.

 * [to Ronald] Popularity isn't perfect. I mean, it almost feels like a job sometimes. Do you remember that suede outfit? Yeah, well that was me trying to fit in. I have to work at it, so does everyone else.

Others

 * Chuckie Miller: [about Ronald's card nights] Cards with the tards. Who could beat a night of cards, chips, dips and dorks?

 * Patty: [about Ronald] I mean, he went from totally geek, to totally chic!

 * Kenneth: [to Ronald] You shit on my house!

 * Jock: Look - it's a nerd herd!

Dialogue

 * Cindy Mancini: Are you high?
 * Ronald Miller: I want to rent you.
 * Cindy Mancini: You want to rent me?
 * Ronald Miller: Yeah. You pretend you like me and we go out for a few weeks... and that will make me popular.
 * Cindy Mancini: Just going out with me is not gonna make you popular.
 * Ronald Miller: Well I have a thousand dollars that says it will.
 * Cindy Mancini: I think you've mowed one too many lawns!

 * Patty: Cool outfit!
 * Barbara: What a severe suede!
 * Cindy Mancini: You guys, it's no big deal. Bobby sent it to me from Iowa. You know they have fine leathers down there.
 * Patty: Oh, yeah. The best leathers come from Rome, Paris, and Des Moines!

 * Ronald Miller: I'm going to a party. John Richmond's, with Cindy Mancini.
 * Chuckie Miller: Cindy Mancini? Senior, captain of the cheerleaders, most beautiful girl in the history of this county?
 * Ronald Miller: That's her. Well, I'm late, gotta bolt.
 * Chuckie Miller: Bolt? Something stinks in suburbia.

 * Patty: Didn't you like, used to mow our lawn?
 * Ronald Miller: Yes, and you have the nicest pair of rhododendrons in town!
 * Patty: Rhodo-who's?
 * Cindy Mancini: Guys, I'll see you in home ec, OK?
 * Barbara: What did he say?
 * Patty: I don't care! Dig on his shirt.

 * Cindy Mancini: The moon looks different now, it's not as mysterious or romantic as before.
 * Ronald Miller: I'm sorry I ruined it for you.
 * Cindy Mancini: You didn't ruin it. You just changed it, I guess.

 * Cindy Mancini: [to Ronald, after their fake break-up] Whatever happens to your popularity, stay yourself. Don't change to please others.
 * Ronald Miller: Me, change? Never.

 * Chuckie Miller: Chillin'!
 * Ronald's Dad: Shut up, Chuck!
 * Chuckie Miller: I was talking to Ma!
 * Ronald's Mom: Shut up, Chuck!

 * Patty: Are you into long distance relationships?
 * Ronald Miller: No.
 * Patty: Now, then why don't you reach out and touch someone?
 * [puts his hands on her breasts]

 * Barbara: Why wouldn't we go out with Ronald? I mean, he's cute and sweet...
 * Patty: And good...
 * [Cindy and Barbara stare at her]
 * Patty: Come on, a lady never talks.
 * Cindy Mancini: Well, I'll have to remember that the next time I see one.

 * Chuckie Miller: You nuked my brother.
 * Cindy Mancini: What?
 * Chuckie Miller: You took him from "geek" status to "king" status to no status.
 * Cindy Mancini: Chuckie Miller, right? He resorted to sending his messenger boy?
 * Chuckie Miller: Boy? I see no boy here.
 * [Cindy puts powder on his face]
 * Chuckie Miller: You think you shut me up?
 * Cindy Mancini: I didn't? Well, let me try again.
 * [attempts to put lipstick on Chuckie, who leaves]
 * Chuckie Miller: [to his friends] Babe said it was good for my complexion.

 * Ronald Miller: We do have a lot of great memories but be honest... wouldn't you like to be popular?
 * Kenneth Wurman: And have to be in a clique... no.
 * Ronald Miller: What happened to us? We were all friends in elementary.
 * Kenneth Wurman: That's because we were all forced to be in the same room together. But, hey, junior high, high school. Forget it. Jocks became jocks. Cheerleaders became cheerleaders. We became us. I like us.

 * Quint: Oh, Return of the Living Dread.
 * Ronald Miller: [walks over with a bat] Why don't you lay off?
 * Quint: Why don't you go back where you belong, hose head?
 * Ronald Miller: Take your hands off Kenneth or I'll break your arm. Your pitching arm.
 * Quint: Oh yeah? Don't make me laugh, lawn boy.
 * Ronald Miller: Let go. NOW! [slams the table with the bat]
 * [Quint lets Kenneth go]
 * Ronald Miller: You broke your arm once before, remember? You fell out of our tree house. Kenneth picked you up and we carried you 12 blocks to the hospital.
 * Kenneth Wurman: Yeah, you cried all the way.
 * Ronald Miller: We were all friends then, remember? And now you want to end his life because he's talking to Patty on your side of the cafeteria. Oh man, that's stupid. I know cuz that's where I wanted to be. On your side, with your crowd. But I messed up. See, I tried to buy my way in. But Kenneth, he's not trying to buy anybody. He's just trying to make friends being himself. Cools, Nerds, your side, my side, man it's all bullshit. It's just tough enough to be yourself.
