Koila Nailatikau

Adi Koila Mara Nailatikau is a Fijian politician and the daughter of the former President, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara.

Unless otherwise stated, the following quotes were all gleaned from the Fiji Times Online.

Senate speech, 30 May 2003 (excerpts)

 * "These (prostitution, pedophilia, and child abuse) are of concern to us and it is important that while we advertise tourism, we should also educate our people in keeping a close vigil on what is happening as the side effect of tourism."

 * "The absence of all these values (marriage commitment, parental authority, and grandparent-grandchild relationships) is one of the main reasons for why our societies are faced by these violent criminal offences. As legislators, our primary role is to ensure the freedom and rights of every citizen of this country are protected."

On her boycott of the "Fiji Week" reconciliation ceremonies

 * "I feel that the rule of law must be upheld. I simply will not accept any apology until justice is done." (October 2004)

[http://www.parliament.gov.fj/hansard/viewhansard.aspx?hansardID=266&viewtype=full Senate Speech, (October 22, 2004) (excerpts)

 * "As long as those responsible are still lurking in the shadows and this culture of silence remains, then certain sections of the community will remain insecure, intimidated and live in fear."

 * "True reconciliation must incorporate the righteous elements of forgiveness and justice. Therefore, real meaningful forgiveness will only arise when firstly, we have to identify the aggrieved party and the wrongdoer must then ask for forgiveness for a specific wrong done.  Once forgiveness is achieved, then the process of justice must take place and punishment given according to law.  Only then, will true reconciliation begin."

 * "Reconciliation cannot eventuate or materialise until the proper legal procedures have been followed, that is without interference from external forces."

 * "If we succumb to pardoning these men, then we are sabotaging and undermining our own ability to act without fear or favour. We reap what we sow.  We will sow a culture of coups for our children. We must therefore, uphold the Rule of Law and Justice."

[http://www.parliament.gov.fj/hansard/viewhansard.aspx?hansardID=271&viewtype=full Senate Speech, (October 28, 2004) (excerpts)

 * "I believe that Fiji is at the cross roads. We should all be proud of our traditions and our rich multi-cultural heritage."

 * "As leaders of Fiji … we should emulate our most distinguished leaders of the past, such as the Turaga Bale na Tui Lau, Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, na Turaga mai Naisogolaca, Ratu Sir Edward Cakobau, na Turaga Bale na Vunivalu, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, na Turaga Bale na Tui Cakau, Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau and recently the Turaga Bale na Tui Nayau, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara and the Marama Bale na Roko Tui Dreketi, Adi Lady Lalabalavu Tuisawau Mara."

On the government's proposed Reconciliation and Unity Commission
''Nailatikau is known as an implacable opponent of the government's controversial legislation to establish a commission empowered to compensate victims and pardon perpetrators of the coup d'état which deposed her father from the Presidency, and in which she herself was kidnapped and held as a hostage for 56 days. The following quotes are taken from statements she has made to the media.''

7 May, 2005

 * "For all I know this has come very late in the day and it's a bit too late … Had my father been here, I believe he would have respected and upheld the rule of law." (May 7, 2005)

 * "(Unless all coup perpetrators) are brought before the courts, Fiji cannot put to rest the ghosts of the coup." (May 7, 2005)

21 July, 2005

 * "The Bill is slanted towards the perpetrators of the coup and not the victims … This Bill is lenient towards the perpetrators while the victims get nothing." (July 21, 2005)

 * "I spoke on this in Senate and I'll say it again — why wasn't this Bill brought about when my parents, the late Tui Nayau and Roko Tui Dreketi, were still alive?" (July 21, 2005)

 * "I have one question for the Government, why can't it function without the coup perpetrators?" (July 21, 2005)

24 July, 2005
Excerpts from a statement made on behalf of herself and her siblings.

 * "I recall what the late Tui Nayau said at his last Lau Provincial Council meeting on Ono, Lau, in October 2000: 'There can be no reconciliation or peace until the coup investigations are completed and the rule of law is upheld'."

 * "Regrettably, this Bill appears to remove everything that the late Tui Nayau worked for, that is respect for the rule of law and everything he stood for unity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence."

 * "Personally, I feel that if the Lau Provincial Council votes for this Bill it means that they are supporting the amnesty clause, which is what the whole Bill is about. Do they understand that what they are actually doing is agreeing in principle to the removal of the late Turaga na Tui Nayau and condoning the coup perpetrators who were the very thugs who removed the Tui Nayau and brought anarchy to Fiji in the year 2000."

 * "Why weren't the victims involved in the consultations prior to the formulation of this Bill?"

 * "The amnesty period from May 2000 to March was the very period in which the late President was removed."

26 July, 2005

 * "To put it in simple English, you break the law, you commit a crime, you do the time."

Senate speech, 24 August, 2005 (excerpts)

 * "We all need to embrace broad principles that accommodate the rights and aspirations of all the people of Fiji. Only then will peace and harmony prevail."

 * "If the chiefs as leaders are going to earn and maintain the respect of the people of Fiji and preserve the uniqueness of the traditional and cultural structures they need to also recognise that the differences that exist between us all cannot and should not be ignored."

 * "We must speak with fairness, responsibility and goodwill toward all ethnic groups."

Quotes about Adi Koila Nailatikau

 * Jioji Kotobalavu, chief executive in the office of the Prime Minister: "What kind of question is that?" (21 July 2005, in reaction to Nailatikau's accusation that the government was incapable of functioning without perpetrators of the 2000 coup).

Talk:Firefly (TV series)

Formatting
This article is somewhat messy, in that several different formats for quotes are in use. I would like to standardize the format for a more professional look. My usual inclination is to use the format that I started with Mystery Science Theater 3000 (similar to what is currently in use for "Serenity (pilot)" and "Out of Gas"). It has its advantages and disadvantages, but it currently appears to be the most commonly used format for dialog-based Wikiquote pages. On the other hand, I find the "first line bullet, subsequent lines indented" format currently used for most Firefly eps to be quite useful in visually separating the dialog segments, and possibly a better alternative to the MST3K style of using half-width horizontal lines. The main problem with segment separation is that line spacing is different for different skins, or page styles (i.e., Monobook [default], Classic, Cologne Blue, Nostalgia), so one cannot use simple blank lines to do the job, or one winds up with massive amounts of wasted space (see Blackadder).

Ultimately, though, it's the readers and editors of the page that need to decide what they want, unless and until Wikiquote comes up with a single formal style for TV and film pages. (There has been some discussion on this topic at Talk:Television shows/Dialog formatting, Talk:List of films, and Wikiquote talk:Templates, but don't hold your breath.) What does everyone here think about the various formats? — Jeff Q (talk) 13:14, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Why not the hr trick? Having recently converted the Veronica Mars page to this format, I think it looks pretty good, myself. It is a bit more annoying for the editors, but it looks pretty well, good seperation and a good workaround for the different skins (but you know that, having invented it :). MosheZadka 15:23, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Based on the above, now that I've satifisied myself watching the whole Firefly series three times just for entertainment (it's that great!), I will probably start reformatting and tweaking quotes shortly. If anyone has reservations about adopting the MST3K style of formatting for the whole article, now's the time to speak up! — Jeff Q (talk) 03:37, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * It is great, isn't it? :) I look forward to all three whedon-shows having consistent formatting...best before September, when we start adding quotes from Serenity (movie) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:45, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Alert: Sci Fi Channel will be airing Firefly starting 22 July 2005, so I will be reviewing and converting the entire article, episode by episode, in the next 3 days so that when people start coming here with more quotes, they have a uniform look and feel to work with. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:20, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I've completed the basic reformatting of the article, expanded the intro, and added cast information (after replacing the former Wikipedia links to the actors with links to WP character pages). During the next two days, I'll be going through each episode and updating the quotes themselves, as well as making any format corrections I missed. I've also created a proposed format page (see Format subpage below) to deal with the problem that currently exists in other TV-show articles: how to provide detailed formatting information that may be updated by anyone, anytime (like an article) someplace other than the Talk page (which should be reserved for chronological, signed commentary). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:48, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

removed a formatting instruction

 * Please read Firefly (TV series)/Format for notes on how to use and edit this article.

I removed this formatting instruction from the article to this page, as it is no longer quite as relevant as when the page was first being started. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 23:46, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Collapsing witticisms
As I belatedly got around to watching Firefly (a serious competitor with Buffy as Joss Whedon's best, IMHO), I found myself wondering about something. One of many recurring entertainments of these Whedon shows is the occasional witty line that suddenly dies in the middle, as if the wit suddenly ran out. Here are Buffy and Firefly examples:

 * Buffy: Giles, it's one thing to be a Watcher and a librarian. They go together, like chicken and… guh, another chicken… or… two… chickens, or… something — you know what I'm saying!
 * from Buffy, "What's My Line?", Part I

 * Mal: Well, looks can be deceiving.
 * Jayne: Not as deceivin' as a low-down… dirty… deceiver.
 * from Firefly, "Out of Gas"

 * Jayne: Captain says you're to stay put. Doesn't want you to run afoul of his blushin' psychotic bride. She figures out who you are, she'll turn you in before you can say… "Don't turn me in, lady."
 * from Firefly, "Trash"; somehow Firefly's always come from Jayne ☺

I haven't seen Angel enough to provide an example, but I'd be shocked if it didn't have plenty to offer. What I'm wondering is whether Whedon-show fans have come up with a term for these collapsing witticisms, like MST3K's "Crow Syndrome" (extending suggestive quips to an extreme, only to be shouted down). The structure certainly isn't unique to Whedon's shows — Blackadder has a good measure of these — but I was hoping that there was a shorthand term among the Buffy/Angel/Firefly crowd. — Jeff Q (talk) 22:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Cordelia: Okay, am I wrong in thinking that a "Please" and "Thank you" is generally considered good form when requesting a dismemberment?
 * Doyle: He appreciates us, in his own... unappreciative way.

Decent, if not perfect, example :) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:13, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Format subpage
I have created an experimental page, User:Jeffq/Experiments/Firefly format, which is designed to address a serious problem with TV-show page formatting. Because it's somewhat complicated, several such articles (starting with Buffy and MST3K) have detailed instructions on how to format articles on their talk pages. But talk pages are supposed to be reserved for chronological, signed commentary that is occasionally archived when it gets too long. Formatting and other usage information, on the other hand, is more like a wiki article in that it should be updateable by anyone, anytime, and should not include attributions for the pieces that editors contribute. It should be presented as a single current practice page, just as an article should be presented as the current state of that topic.

It occurred to me that one reasonable solution is to create a subpage for TV-show articles that use this complex formatting, at least until Wikiquote adopts the practices universally, if ever. I propose moving this experimental format page to Firefly (TV series)/Format, Firefly/Usage, or similar name. (The current format page has more than just formatting information, so I'm open to suggestions for other titles.) I invite interested editors to review the page and provide feedback on its talk page. (That's an important additional benefit of having a subpage instead of a talk page for format descriptions — the format itself may be discussed separately without cluttering up the instructions themselves.) Pending approval of other interested readers, I plan to move the experimental page into place as soon as practical, which will preserve the edit history of both the instructions and any discussion on those instructions. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:02, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Table of contents
I've added a custom table of contents for three reasons. First, the standard one is ugly and so long that you have to page down just to see the whole thing. Second, the heading style doesn't differentiate visually between episode titles, "Unknown episode", and auxiliary sections like "Cast", "See also", and "External links". Finally, a custom TOC enables some color-coding (to enhance the visual cueing of episodes vs. movie vs. other info), and the colors I've chosen come from an image of Serenity in w:Firefly, providing the dusty Western feel that pervades Firefly. I hope folks find this suitable. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:29, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Two Objects In Space
How come there's two Objects in Space? Is that right? I mean, is it there for a reason, or should I or somebody delete it..? ZachsMind 02:01, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * We're back down to one now. I don't know how it happened, but I accidentally added the duplicate when I revised OiS. (When you do a section-edit, the header is included in the edit window. I usually copy the section, work on it offline, verify no one else has edited in the meantime, and paste it back in. I must have doubled the header while working on it.) The potential for messing up headers is one disadvantage of custom tables of contents. The automatic ones will always show the actual set of section headers, but custom TOCs will only show what you tell them to. They're very useful for articles that have a completely defined set of sections, but my faux-pas demonstrates that they have their own maintenance needs. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Serenity comic book
There was a three-part comic series published by Dark Horse, written by Joss, about the events between the show and the film. Does anyone have an objection if I add quotes from it here? ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 03:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added a comic section, as well as a "Quotes about" section, and reformatted the TOC to provide links to both. It's not quite as pretty as it was, so it might get killed (to paraphrase Malcolm Reynolds), but let's see if this suits. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I hope I didn't make it a powerful ugly creature -- I added in to the "Comic" section an "Issue 3" subsection. Unfortunately, I gave my Issue 1 away, so that's gonna be it from me for the current time. Thanks for the help ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Emphasis in comic books
Most dialog in comics is hand-lettered. This is true in Serenity as well as in most other comics I read on a regular basis. Italics are pretty hard to draw by hand, and harder to make distinct, so most letterers go for bolding emphasized speech. In most comic book pages I've worked on, I tended to use bolding. I saw Jeff change the bold to italics: certainly a valid decision from the PoV of "capturing meaning" (wikiquote is a computerized medium, where italics are commonly used for emphasis). I tried to go for "capture original text." I'm not sure what's better, myself. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 00:41, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I changed it to italics because standardard basic emphasis is italics, per both Wikipedia and Wikiquote policy. (If I recall correctly, we describe 3 forms of formatting emphasis: strong, stronger, and strongest.) I encourage not using bold except in rare cases because it interferes with visual separation from dialog character formatting. (Of course, italics interfere with context formatting, but the latter is only used occasionally and usually on a separate line, whereas character formatting is used on every line of dialog. This is one of those many unwritten reasons for how we got to what we currently have.) As far as following the original, we can make style decisions that don't take anything away from the meaning, as do all publishers. We also ignore standard comic use of ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS FOR ORDINARY DIALOG, for obvious reasons. Neither change causes a loss of meaning or intent. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:49, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * P.S. Just to be pedantic, one of those "rare cases" I allude to is when there is significance to increasing emphasis in a dialog line, like the phrase "every living thing" in MST3K's' "Devil Fish". (I scare myself with how readily I was able to think of an example of an obscure formatting issue.) And another form of emphasis is character SHOUTING, which is another reason why we reserve all-caps for special cases. (I'm beginning to realize why professional style guides are so long and detailed.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:49, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Missing from "Serenity"
My favorite quote, which was ad-libbed by Adam Baldwin, was missing so I included it. I'm not exactly, precisely sure about the wording, but the "nuthin' over nuthin'.. carry the nuthin'" is definitely there. 38.98.88.2 19:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Missing from "Shindig"
How could anyone miss this one from Badger???

". . . diamonds the size of testicles. Fortunately, I managed to get my hands on a pair (pause for funny looks from Mal and Jayne) of TICKETS!"

I don't recall the first part, but its something along the lines of "The only way to get tickets to the ball is with..."

 * I thought about adding that, but I deferred, I think because of a combination of how much had to be included to get the whole joke, plus the visual cue of Mal & Jayne's look. I might take another look. Of course, anyone can add it if they wish. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Our Mrs. Reynolds
That's not a wagon, it's a RAFT, floating on 55 gallon steel drums. That's why they're in the water.

 * No need to SHOUT; point taken. :-) (I admit, I was curious about why they were riding up the river, but I didn't look too carefully.) I've corrected the context line. Thanks for pointing this out! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:07, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Full vs. Fall

 * "...till she bring him to his fall/full..."

I've edited this quote to read fall instead of full. This is the wording in the shooting script (not a definitive source, I know), and in the DVD subtitles. Fall makes more sense in this context since she's referring to his refractory period. --Muchness 18:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Heart of Gold
Concerning the "Well, that was kind of horrific." quote, it sounds to me like he (Mal) could be saying either "one's" or "was". Since "one's" makes more sense and is (I believe) funnier, I think it ought to be changed to "one's". However, there was a comment regarding that, so I'd like some input before I go and change it. ~ Fredward 16:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm the person who added the comment:
 * NOTE: "that one's kinda horrific" makes even better sense, but *isn't* what Mal says."
 * Believe me, I really wanted Mal to be saying "one's" instead of "was". I obviously agree it makes more sense, and I also think it's funnier. But after carefully listening to the words and watching his lips, I felt there was no way one could interpret what he actually said as having an "n" in it. I admit I'm rather more obsessive than many about accuracy, but Wikiquote does strive for accuracy whenever possible. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * A little note on the "watching his lips" idea: Go look in a mirror while you say "was and one's." Pronounce the n as strongly as you like. Since the n in "one's" is pronounced completely with the tongue, it's not something you are going to see. -- 205.134.193.66 18:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I've just reverted another attempt to "correct" this quote, this time by 205.134.193.66, who also changed the comment to read:
 * Some say he says "That was kind of horrific," but that is incorrect. He clearly says "one's," and the subtitles agree.
 * I stand by the evidence provided in the episode, as described above, which is disappointing but umambiguous. Ordinarily, the close-captioning would be compelling evidence, but the CC work done for Firefly has some gross errors in it, clearly made by people occasionally misinterpreting the dialog. (If need be, I can cite some of them, as soon as I get my DVDs back from a friend.) The only argument that might stick here is if someone has a (verifiable) shooting script that indicates Nathan Fillion was supposed to say "one's" instead of "was". We could then plausibly consider it an actor reading error, which might recommend the original text. (This is debatable, however. Wikiquote strives for accuracy in the text of the original material, and the only recognized orginals in this genre are the telecast and commercial DVD episodes, not the shooting scripts. But we don't have a formal policy on this currently.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I've just been watching the close-captioning of Serenity and its bonus materials, and I have two words for the case against close captions as a reliable source: "Millennium Vulcan" (from DVD extra "Future History: The Story of Earth That Was"). Joss Whedon pronounces the "falcon" of Millennium Falcon as "fall-cahn", and the captioner obviously misheard it.) Five minutes watching the film itself, and for that matter any episode of Firefly, are more than enough evidence that the captions are only approximations of the dialog. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I have listened, watched, and read the script (Firefly wiki's shooting script--http://www.fireflywiki.org/112.html). It says "one's," as well. Mal enunciates the n lightly, much like some might do with a southern accent. -- 205.134.193.66 05:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Fireflywiki.org and wikis in general are not what the Wikimedia Foundation considers a reliable source. FFW seems especially bad for two major reasons:
 * It doesn't seem to provide a means to review the cited page. In fact, it seems to be missing everything a wiki article should have except the content itself, at least for this page.
 * It doesn't appear to have any information about itself, including its policy on accuracy and sourcing. Even with such a policy, WM projects like Wikipedia and Wikiquote are considered tertiary sources and don't consider themselves reliable sources for their own content, so they would hardly find FFW acceptable.
 * However, because I really want to be wrong about Mal's quote, I'm going to leave 205.134.193.66's change in place while we try to find a reliable source. If we can verify the shooting script, 205's argument gives a plausible reason to keep the most logical version of this line. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

English slang
I've removed the new section on "English slang" because it's more encyclopedic (or dictionary-oriented) than quote-oriented. I'm sure the anonymous user who added it felt it was a logical extension of the Translations section that contains the English translations of the Chinese expressions used in the Firefly dialog. But I only created the Translations section because (A) exact quoting requires the Chinese be used, not the English translation; (B) en:Wikiquote readers can be expected not to know Chinese and therefore frequently can't deduce the meanings from context; and (C) inserting often lengthy translations into the quoted text distracts from the quoted text itself. (Now that I think about it, one missing element is creating links to the translations, which we should probably implement.) The English expressions can pretty much be deduced from context, so I think there's no compelling need to have such a table. I recommend that if we feel we should have such a dictionary, it should go into the Wikipedia Firefly article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Translation transliterations
I just rolled back an edit of many phrases in the "Translations" section because they broke many of the links that justified having a Translations section. A brief review of the current source material at "Firefly-Serenity Chinese Pinyinary" suggests that at least some of these changes had merit; i.e., the source transliterations have been updated since I fetched them from there. (I imagine this comes from the changing preferences for transliterating Chinese characters and sounds into the English alphabet.) I would ask that if anyone wishes to make these updates, they make corresponding changes both to the links that use the phrases and to the order these phrases are listed in. Thank you for your assistance. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Furthermore, some of the translations are "Too Direct". As someone who is learning Mandarin, I can personally tell you some of those translations are either a) contextually inaccurate/non-sensical or b) just plain wrong... eg "Are we Clear here?" ("Dong le ma?" - Dong means 'Understand', 'Ma' is a word indicating that the context is that of a question being asked, and 'Le' is just slang :) ) 124.169.141.244 11:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Just to be nit-picky, I believe that Simon said he was thinking of growing a goatee, not a mustache, in reference to being a "traditional" criminal mastermind.

 * Please, do be nitpicky. We want accurate quotes here. But if you're not sure, you should try to verify a suspect quote with a reliable source. (For TV shows, the most convenient reliable source is usually a DVD or a telecast of the show.) Please also sign your talk-page posts by ending them with four tildes ( ~ ), which the editor automatically converts to your username or IP and a timestamp. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Separate article for Serenity (film)?
Would seem to make sense - they are two different (if related) media. BD2412 T 07:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say yes. Not only is it a distinct media, but it would help lighten this page up some; it's pretty heavy as it is... EVula // talk // 03:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * While I am concerned about the potential for editors to use such a move as an opportunity to avoid increasing attention on copyvio problems, especially for TV shows, I'd have to agree that it makes sense from a categorical view, however we "flans" may want to treat the film as just another "episode". That's what "See also" is for, after all. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, a film is a different category of thing. I see no reason why copyright policy can not be enforced even while the two are separate entries. This would seem to be in keeping with other similar instances of movies spun off TV shows (see the many Star Trek series/films). BD2412 T 03:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I simply must learn to be more concise. Here's a try: I agree that we can and should enforce it for both TV & film articles, and I support splitting off Serenity (film). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The A Team

What do you think of that one - One of Hannibal's plans (As described in the episode "One more time") -

Hannibal - "Now, the plan is your basic straight-on surprise hit-n-run attack. If anything goes sour, we split-up and randez-vous at the drop zone. Got it?"

Face - "Oh, wait!"

BA - "This ain't much of a plan, Hannibal."

Hannibal - "Are you kidding? It's a classic! It's your half-pincer movement inside a guarded perimeter. Tried and true, BA!"

BA - Man, he is on the jazz... Face - And we are in trouble.

It's a little too long to be a quote, but Hannibal's classic frontal assault movements (Which he calls "Half pincer movements" - no doubt due to the classic "Pincer movement"- striking your enemy from both sides at once) are common in this show.

Or, as murdock put it a few minutes later (After the A-team was captured) -

Murdock - Looks like the A-Team's a few points behind at half time here. Hannibal probably tried getting in by hitting them with what he'd call a classic frontal assault or a half pincer movement.

Amy (Triple A) - Is that what it was?

Murdock - Nah... It's just reckless. but with Hannibal, reckless is sometimes the best thing. Course every once in a while it just doesn't work.

Reformatting
I believe this page should be rebuild so that the quotes will be sorted by episode instead of by character. (That way it'll also be possible to write down funny dialogues in addition to oneliners)

Quotes

 * William Jefferson Clinton was America's entertainer-in-chief. But, like the third hour of It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, no matter how good the show is eventually you've had enough. It wasn't public approval that saved Clinton, but public indifference. By the end, even his sex life bored them. To rise to the presidency from Hot Springs - a town where there's no right side of the tracks - is an amazing feat. To survive in office despite being your own smokin' gun is spectacular.
 * "An A-to-Z of the 42nd Presidency", originally published in The Spectator (13 January 2001)

 * It's not a clash between civilisations but within them - in the Muslim world, between what's left of moderate traditional Islam and an extreme strain of that faith that even many of their co-religionists have difficulty living with; and in the West between those who think this culture is worth defending and those who'd rather sleepwalk to national suicide while mumbling bromides about whether Western hedonism is to blame for 'lack of services for locals' in Bali. To read Robert Frisk and Margo Kingston is like watching a panto cast on drugs: No matter how often the baddies say, 'I'm behind you!', Robert and Margo reply, 'Oh, no, you're not!'
 * "They Want To Kill Us All", originally published in The Spectator (19 October 2002)

 * [On protests against going to war with Iraq] One woman bore a picture of some female genitalia – possibly hers, the provenance was obscure – over the caption 'This Bush Is For Peace.' Another waxed eloquent: 'Trim Bush.' Out in Marin County somewhere, other bushes for peace disrobed, lay down on a hillside, and formed the words 'No War.' I wonder if there are any conflicted nudists, with a bush for Iraq and a rack for Bush.
 * The Spectator (25 January 2003)

 * [On John Edwards, U.S. Senator from North Carolina] The stump speech of pretty-boy Senator John Edwards, which I've heard often enough to be able to mouth along with him, has room for everything, including vivid, wrenching portraits of despair: 'Tonight somewhere in America a ten-year-old little girl will go to bed hungry, hoping and praying that tomorrow will not be as cold as today because she doesn't have the coat to keep her warm.' You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be doubled up in laughter at that line.
 * "It's the war, stupid" Jewish World Review (1 March 2004)

 * [On the movie Monster] I confess I went into the movie ready to dislike Miss Theron. I'm sick of newspaper articles detailing the amount of time, talent and technical wizardry required to turn some silver-screen beauty into an average-looking woman. There are plenty of average-looking women out there — gritty Britty TV drama seems to be full of them — and it seems excessively unfair that they can't even get a shot at the frumpy roles because Nicole Kidman's hogging the false nose again.
 * "Soured dream" The Spectator (2 April 2004)

 * Picture a French election circa 2020, 2025: the Islamic Republican Coalition wins the most seats in the National Assembly.
 * "Bicultural Europe is doomed", The Daily Telegraph (15 November 2005)
 * Bisexuality is the proportional representation of sexuality in a world where most of us — straight or gay — operate a first-past-the-post system.
 * "Sorry, but voters prefer straight choices", The Daily Telegraph (January 2006)

 * [On David Cameron's Conservative Party] The carbon emissions trading system imposed by Kyoto is absurd and entirely ineffectual, but in London, David Cameron wants to apply it to hamburgers. Cameron wants to impose some sort of Kyoto-esque calorie trading system on fast-food purveyors whereby McDonald's would have some trans-fat cap imposed to ensure they pick up the tab for what that $3 Big Mac really costs society. And David Cameron is the leader of the alleged Conservative Party. He's also living in a country whose major cities have been hollowed out by Islamist cells. Nevertheless, as England decays into Somalia with chip shops, taxing the chip shops is the Conservatives' priority.
 * Chicago Sun-Times (28 January 2007)

 * [On the French view of international politics] According to my dictionary, the word 'ally' comes from the Old French. Very Old French, I'd say. For the New French, the word has a largely postmodern definition of 'duplicitous charmer who undermines you at every opportunity.'
 * The Australian (23 February 2007)

 * [On Al Gore] The Eco-Messiah sternly talks up the old Nazi comparisons: "what we're facing is an ecological Holocaust, and the evidence of an ecological Kristallnacht is as clear as the sound of glass shattering in Berlin." That 221,000 kilowatt-hours might suggest that, if this is the ecological Holocaust, Gore's pad is Auschwitz. But, as his spokesperson would no doubt argue, when you're faced with ecological Holocausts and ecological Kristallnachts, sometimes the only way to bring it to an end is with an ecological Hiroshima. The Gore electric bill is the eco-atom bomb: you have to light up the world in order to save it.
 * Chicago Sun-Times (March 4 2007)

 * Multiculturalism is a unicultural phenomenon.
 * "The Spirit of Geert Wilders", National Review (14 May 2012) (A foreword to Wilders' Marked for Death)

 * There's no fine line between "free speech" and "hate speech": Free speech is hate speech; it's for the speech you hate – and for all your speech that the other guy hates. If you don't have free speech, then you can't have an honest discussion.
 * "Stay Quiet and You'll Be Okay", steynonline.com (9 May 2015)

 * A "Hillary rally" is a contradiction in terms: the thin, vetted crowd leave more demoralized and depressed than when they went in.
 * "Last Stand of the Old White Males", steynonline.com (10 July 2015)

 * Trump, like other philosophically erratic politicians from Denmark to Greece, has tapped into a very basic strain of cultural conservatism: the question of how far First World peoples are willing to go in order to extinguish their futures on the altar of "diversity".
 * "Last Stand of the Old White Males", steynonline.com (10 July 2015)

 * It is so depressing to watch, almost on a daily basis, the erasure of great men by know-nothing non-entities who can build nothing, create nothing, do nothing but destroy all that does not conform to the ever shifting pieties of present-tense virtue-signalling.
 * "The Surrender of the Public Square", steynonline.com (13 August 2018)

 * The western world's leaders - Trudeau, Merkel, Pelosi - are bored by their own people. And they're making it ever plainer that the replacements they have in mind are not just newer and different but better.
 * "A Nation for All Except Its Nationals", steynonline.com (20 August 2018)

 * Remember the way old-school feminists used to go on about how this and that was "phallocentric"? Some of them are a bit shocked to find that somehow the wily old phallus outmaneuvered them and that women themselves can now be literally phallocentric... As I always say: Oh, you can laugh, but none of the people who matter in our society are laughing - like the police and the politicians and the judges and the "educators"... So in nothing flat we are on our way not merely to the abolition of the sexes but to a world in which it is no longer permissible even to suggest that someone hung like a horse is not a woman. As Justin [Trudeau] would say, such views "have no place in our country".
 * "A Nation for All Except Its Nationals", steynonline.com (20 August 2018)

 * The things our news media talks about incessantly, whether it’s transgender bathrooms or Confederate statues being toppled or the totally dishonest national conversation on race—nothing like this is heard in China as it goes along steadily strengthening its position as the world’s leading power. The Chinese don’t find themselves stuck in these sterile, drain-circling, dishonest public conversations about identity politics. These conversations are a waste of time. And one thing we should demand of our politicians is that they talk about things that aren’t a waste of time.
 * "Our Increasingly Unrecognizable Civilization”, Imprimis, April/May 2021, vol. 50, no. 4/5, p. 4
 * Our political division in America today is a class division, and we need to expose it as such whenever we see it. The ruling class tries to keep racial and other forms of division stirred up in our politics so that we don’t notice the class protection racket they are running.
 * "Our Increasingly Unrecognizable Civilization”, Imprimis, April/May 2021, vol. 50, no. 4/5, p. 5

 * This is what’s so frightening about the trends in education today. Cromwell told his portrait painter, ‘Paint me, warts and all.’ That’s not what is happening in America, where the trend in education is to paint only America’s warts. So even the great Kate Smith, who sang “God Bless America” for years, is having her statue taken down because she made a racially insensitive record in 1931. Well you know who really had a racially insensitive record in 1931? The Democratic Party. But unlike Kate Smith’s statue, it’s still around.
 * "Our Increasingly Unrecognizable Civilization”, Imprimis, April/May 2021, vol. 50, no. 4/5, p. 7

 * I find myself at odds with virtually the entire politico-media class in my reaction to the "storming" of the US Capitol... I was surprised that even politicians and pundits could utter all that eyewash about "the citadel of democracy" and "a light to the world" with a straight face. It's a citadel of crap, and the lights went out long ago: ask anyone who needs that $600 "relief".

The slyer virus: The West's anti-westernism (2002)

 * "The slyer virus: The West's anti-westernism", The New Criterion Vol. 20, No. 6, February 2002

 * Reverend Jesse Jackson, President-for-Life of the People’s Republic of Himself.

 * In the multicultural West, our values are that we have no values: we accord all values equal value; the wittering English feminist concerned that her tolerance is implicitly intolerant of the Sudanese wife-beater and compulsory clitorectomy scheduler.

 * As for 'cultural genocide', if there's any going on these days, it's the genocide of the Britannic inheritance — in North America, in the Antipodes, in Blair's Britain.

 * To London's Europhiles, Britain is obviously "part of" Europe. But, in the age of jet travel, cellphones, wire transfers and the internet, we are less bound by physical proximity than ever. Yet Britain for the first time in history has chosen to be imprisoned by geography and to disconnect itself from its own culture.

 * The principle underpinning the EU is not "We, the people" but "We know better than the people" — not just on capital punishment and the single currency, but on pretty much anything that comes to mind. Not so long ago, Jean-Pierre Chevenement, France's Defence Minister at the time, insisted that the United States was dedicated to the "organized cretinization of our people." As a dismissal of American pop culture — MTV, Disney — this statement is not without its appeal, though it sounds better if you've never had the misfortune to sit through a weekend of continental television. But the reality is that nobody is as dedicated to the proposition that the people are cretins than M. Chevenement and the panjandrums of the new 'Europe.' The EU is organized on this assumption. If, like the Danes and now the Irish, they're impertinent enough to tick the wrong box in referenda on deeper European integration, we'll just keep asking and re-asking the question until they get it right.

Battered Westerner Syndrome inflicted by myopic Muslim defenders (2002)

 * Battered Westerner Syndrome inflicted by myopic Muslim defenders", Jewish World Review 23 August 2002

 * As I understand it, the benefits of multiculturalism are that the sterile white-bread cultures of Britain, Canada and Australia get some great ethnic restaurants and a Commonwealth Games opening ceremony that lasts until two in the morning. But in the case of those Muslim ghettoes — in Sydney, in Oslo, in Paris, Copenhagen and Manchester — multiculturalism means that the worst attributes of Muslim culture — the subjugation of women — combine with the worst attributes of Western culture — licence and self-gratification. Tattoed, pierced Pakistani skinhead gangs swaggering down the streets of Northern England are as much a product of multiculturalism as the turban-wearing Sikh Mountie in the vice-regal escort at Rideau Hall. Yet even in the face of the crudest assaults on its most cherished causes — women's rights and gay rights — the political elite turns squeamishly away.

 * We're told the old-school imperialists were racists, that they thought of the wogs as inferior. But, if so, they at least considered them capable of improvement. The multiculturalists are just as racist. The only difference is they think the wogs can never reform: good heavens, you can't expect a Muslim in Norway not to go about raping the womenfolk! Much better just to get used to it.

 * "As one is always obliged to explain when tiptoeing around this territory, I am not a racist, only a culturist. I believe Western culture — rule of law, universal suffrage — is preferable to Arab culture. That's why there are millions of Muslims in Scandinavia, and four Scandinavians in Syria. Follow the traffic. I support immigration, but with assimilation.

America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It (2006)

 * In 1970, the developed nations had twice as big a share of the global population as the Muslim world: 30 percent to 15 percent. By 2000, they were at parity: each had about 20 percent. And by 2020?
 * p. xv

 * We are witnessing the end of the late 20th-century progressive welfare democracy. Its fiscal bankruptcy is merely a symptom of a more fundamental bankruptcy: its insufficiency as an animating principle for society. The children and grandchildren of those fascists and republicans who waged a bitter civil war for the future of Spain now shrug when a bunch of foreigners blow up their capital. Too sedated even to sue for terms, they capitulate instantly. Over on the other side of the equation, the modern multicultural state is too watery a concept to bind huge numbers of immigrants to the land of their nominal citizenship. So they look elsewhere and find the jihad. The Western Muslim’s pan-Islamic identity is merely the first great cause in a world where globalized pathologies are taking the place of old-school nationalism.
 * p. xix

 * The state has gradually annexed all the responsibilities of adulthood - health care, child care, care of the elderly - to the point where it's effectively severed its citizens from humanity's primal instincts, not the least the survival instinct.
 * p. xx

 * I'm a "social conservative." When the mullahs take over, I'll grow my beard a little fuller, get a couple extra wives, and keep my head down. It's the feminists and gays who'll have a tougher time.
 * p. 14

 * On the Continent and elsewhere in the West, native populations are aging and fading and being supplanted remorselessly by a young Muslim demographic.
 * p. 33

 * The evidence suggests a third of all births [in France] are already Muslim.
 * p. 47

 * Almost by definition, secularism cannot be a future: it’s a present-tense culture that over time disconnects a society from cross-generational purpose. Which is why there are no examples of sustained atheist civilizations. "Atheistic humanism" became inhumanism in the hands of the Fascists and Communists and, in its less malign form in today's European Union, a kind of dehumamism in which a present-tense culture amuses itself to extinction. Post-Christian European culture is already post-cultural and, with its surging Muslim populations, will soon be post-European.
 * Ch. 5, p. 98

 * Most mainline Protestant churches are, to one degree or another, post-Christian. If they no longer seem disposed to converting the unbelieving to Christ, they can at least convert them to the boggiest of soft-left clichés, on the grounds that if Jesus were alive today he’d most likely be a gay Anglican bishop in a committed relationship driving around in an environmentally friendly car with an “Arms are for Hugging” sticker on the way to an interfaith dialogue with a Wiccan and a couple of Wahhabi imams.
 * p. 100

 * Unfortunately, magnanimity is often seen as weakness by those on the receiving end. It's easy to be sensitive, tolerant, and multicultural — it's the default mode of the age — yet, when you persist in being sensitive to the insensitive, tolerant of the intolerant, and impeccably multicultural about the avowedly unicultural, don't be surprised if they take it for weakness.
 * p. 158

 * Americans and other Westerners who want their families to enjoy the blessings of life in a free society should understand that the life we've led since 1945 in the Western world is very rare in human history. Our children are unlikely to enjoy anything so placid, and may well spend their adult years in an ugly and savage world unless we decide that who and what we are is worth defending.
 * p. 207

It's the Demography, Stupid (2006)

 * "It's the Demography, Stupid", column, Wall Street Journal, 4 January 2006

 * The great thing about multiculturalism is it doesn't involve knowing anything about other cultures — the capital of Bhutan, the principal exports of Malawi, who cares? All it requires is feeling good about other cultures. It's fundamentally a fraud, and I think was subliminally accepted on that basis. Most adherents to the idea that all cultures are equal don't want to live in anything but an advanced Western society.

 * As a famous Arnold Toynbee quote puts it, "Civilizations die from suicide, not murder", as can be seen throughout much of the Western world right now. The progressive agenda — lavish social welfare, abortion, agnosticism, multiculturalism — is collectively the real suicide bomb.

 * Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive this century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most Western European countries. There'll probably still be a geographical area on the map marked as Italy or the Netherlands--probably--just as in Istanbul there's still a building called St. Sophia's Cathedral. But it's not a cathedral; it's merely a designation for a piece of real estate. Likewise, Italy and the Netherlands will merely be designations for real estate.

 * It seems more likely [...] that by 2010 we’ll be watching burning buildings, street riots and assassinations [in EU] on American network news every night.

 * Europe by the end of this century will be a continent after the neutron bomb; the grand buildings will still be standing, but the people who built them will be gone. We are living through a remarkable period: the self-extinction of the race who, for good or ill, shaped the modern world.

 * A decade and a half after victory in the Cold War and end-of-history triumphalism, the "what do you leave behind" question is more urgent than most of us expected. The Western world, as a concept, is dead and the West, as a matter of demographic fact, is dying.

After America: Get Ready for Armageddon (2011)

 * Churchill called his book The History of the English-Speaking Peoples – not the English-Speaking Nations. The extraordinary role played by those nations in the creation and maintenance of the modern world derived from their human capital. What happens when, as a matter of state policy, you debauch your human capital? The United Kingdom has the highest drug use in Europe, the highest incidence of sexually transmitted disease, the highest number of single mothers, the highest abortion rate; marriage is all but defunct, except for toffs, upscale gays, and Muslims. A couple of years ago, the papers reported that stabbings are so rampant in British schoolyards that a company that specializes in military body armor is now manufacturing school blazers lined with Kevlar. For Americans, the quickest way to understand modern Britain is to look at what LBJ’s Great Society did to the black family and imagine it applied to the general population.

 * Europe’s economic crisis is a mere symptom of its existential crisis. What is life for? What gives it meaning? Post-Christian, post-nationalist, post-modern Europe has no answer to that question, and so it has 30-year-old students and 50-year-old retirees, and wonders why the small band of workers in between them can’t make the math add up.

 * Faced with public discontent about the statist agenda, the Condescendi look out the window at the unlovely mob in their "Don't treat on me" T-shirts and sneer, "The peasants are revolting." You oppose illegal immigration? You're a xenophobe. Gay marriage? Homophobe. The Ground Zero mosque? Islamaphobe. If that's the choice, I'd rather be damned as a racist and sexist. The evolution from -isms to phobias is part of the medicalization of dissent: the Conformicrats simply declare your position as a form of mental illness.

 * When you hit the expressway to Declinistan there are few exit ramps. That America's animating principles should require a defense at all is a melancholy reflection on how far we've already gone.

 * You cannot wage a sustained ideological assault on your own civilization without grave consequences. We are approaching the end of the Anglo-American moment, and the eclipse of the powers that built the modern world.

 * Rivers belong where they can ramble Eagles belong where they can fly I've got to be where my spirit can run free Gotta find my corner of the sky. ["Corner of the Sky"]

 * [to Lewis] I'm only shocked that you're interested in women now.

 * GLORY'S IN THE AIR! GLORY'S IN THE AIR! AND WHAT AM I DOING? I'm running around on a dark stage like an idiot.

 * ...and time weaves ribbons of memories, to sweeten life when youth is through. But I would need no memories there, if I could share my life with you. ["With You, Part I"]

 * Everything has its season, everything has its time. Show me the reason and I'll soon show you the rhyme! Cats sit on the window sill, children play in the snow. Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go...? ["Corner of the Sky"]
 * (about Lewis) Yes, He's a real straightstander
 * I thought there'd be more plumes.

Leading Player

 * Lewis is strong. Lewis loves fighting. Lewis loves wrestling. But most of all, Lewis loves Lewis.

 * Sweet summer evenings, sapphire skies, feasting your belly, feasting your eyes. Simple joys have a simple voice that says time is living's prize. And wouldn't you rather be a left-handed flea, a crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea, a newt on the root of a banyan tree, a fig on twig in Galilee, than a man who never learns how to be free? ["Simple Joys"]

 * When he does it, it's just a trick. But when you do it, it'll be for real.

 * And then it happened. Suddenly, shamelessly, and without warning, as it must in all musical comedies, they were struck by... a love song.

 * [To Pippin, after Catherine annoys him again:] Woman...it's easier to keep chickens. (Translated from the Dutch version)

 * Think about the sun, Pippin. Think about her golden glance.  How she lights the world up! Well...now it's your chance.

 * With the guardian of splendor, Inviting you to dance. Pippin, think about the sun...

 * Of course not now you Idiot!

 * Ladies and gentleman, we apologize sincerely for not giving you the finale we promised. it seems our...extraordinary young gentleman has decided to...compromise his aspiration. But i know there are many of you out there, waiting to perform that one perfect act...Our Grande Finale!  If you decide to do so, we'll be there...waiting...anytime you want us...why, we're right inside your heads...and we promise you Sets! Lights! Costumes! and short...but  spectacular career!

 * Get your damn hands off the Keyboard!

 * Over the dam! Water flows...over the dam.

 * Easy, baby!

 * Our grand finale justly famous throughout the civilized world!

Charlemagne

 * [After being resurrected from Pippin killing him] That's okay, son. Just don't let it happen again.

 * Sometimes I wonder if the fornicating I'm getting is worth the fornicating I'm getting.

 * [On Lewis:] Why do I always get nauseous when he calls me "Father"? (Fosse version only)

 * Your brother Lewis is an ideal soldier: he is strong and stupid.

 * Lewis... is an asshole.

Others

 * Berthe: Men and their wars... Sometimes I think men raise flags when they can't get anything else up!

 * Lewis: [running off stage] Ha! Visigoths!

 * Fastrada: [to the audience] I'm just an ordinary housewife and mother, just like all you housewives and mothers out there.

 * Player: [Trying to convince Pippin to commit suicide] Think about the word of mouth!

 * Beggar: Up thine, Sire!

Dialogue

 * [The Leading Player gives Pippin his sword]
 * Pippin: I'm a soldier!
 * Leading Player: Don't cut yourself.

 *

 * [Fosse version only]
 * Pippin: We've got to dedicate ourselves to a better world for all people.
 * Leading Player: [Testing the microphones on the platform] Testing... testing...
 * Pippin: [Mounting the platform] Peace and justice must be restored to [into the microphone] this great land.
 * [Suddenly, there are cheers over the speaker, as if Pippin were the keynote speaker in a convention hall. The Leading Player puts a politician's straw hat on Pippin's head.]
 * Pippin: [Not altogether pleased at the realization] I'm a politician?!
 *  Leading Player: [swapping out the hat for a more working-class alternative] You're a revolutionary! And baby, you're beautiful.

 *

 * Charlemagne: WE'VE WON!!!!!!
 * Chorus: (flatly) We've won.

 * "Leading Player:" "Think about your life Pippin!'
 * Fastrada:" "Days are tame and nights the same."
 * "Leading Player" "Think about the Beauty, in one perfect Flame"
 * "Fastrada and Leading Player" "And the angels of the morning are calling out your name. Pippin, think about...the SUN!"

Who or what is this "Pippin". I googled this term and found a DVD named Pippin. But I'm not sure it is the same Pippin of this article. --Aphaia 08:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Why, Pippin is one of my all-time favorite musicals! I'm glad to see someone shares my enthusiasm. I don't have any quotes (other than having memorized the entire song from which the current quote comes), but I'll add some infrastructure. — Jeff Q (talk) 14:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications.

The Drew Carey Show

The Drew Carey Show (1995-2004) was a television show that chronicled a Cleveland blue-collar everyman's working life, the ups and downs of his romances, and his strong relationship with his long-time friends.

Pilot [1.1]

 * Lewis: ... and that's why the French don't wash.

 * Drew: [Drew refuses to hire Kate] No! It's even worse than when friends have sex, 'cause at least then you had sex!

 * Drew: What if I have to fire you? And I'm sure I'm gonna have to.
 * Kate: Look, you don't have to fire me. You can kill me, how's that?
 * Drew: Well, that might solve some problems, but, you know, it may create others.

 * Drew: Man, a liquor store with a window on the side where you can buy whiskey, beer, whatever you want, while you're driving. God bless America! Just the thing for that drunk driver who's constantly on the go. Hey, no time to stop at a real bar, I've got things to do today! Places to go, people to hit!

 * Drew: Ask me about my day, I dare you.
 * Lewis: Drew, how was your day?
 * Drew: You're not sincere enough.. [Points to Oswald] YOU! Ask me about my day.
 * Oswald: Drew, how was your day?
 * Drew: Lousy. It was like the rubber glove part of a physical exam.

 * Drew: [in his carpool] 8:41. You know, Larry, right about now, I got interviews stacking up at the office. Pretty much like you got angry motorists stacked up behind you. You think you could fire up the bullet train here?

Miss Right [1.2]

 * Kate: Did you and Pam have a fight?
 * Lewis: No, we were just in the neighborhood and...she kicked me out of the car and drove away.
 * Drew: Did you try to get her to wear that thing again?
 * Lewis: Yeah.

 * Kate: [referring to the 'thing' from the above quote] I TOLD you women don't think those things are sexy!
 * Lewis: Hey, if it's not sexy, how come I had to order it from Mexico?

 * Lisa: Excuse me, Mr. Carey?
 * Drew: I'm sorry, my father's Mr. Carey. I'm Mrs. Carey.
 * Lisa: Want to smile so I know you're kidding?

 * Oswald: Did the pizza I ordered get here yet?
 * Drew: The pizza you ordered at my house? The place where I might not be? The guy who couldn't get a date if dates were magnets and his butt was due north?

 * Lisa: Hey, I'm just making small talk. I do that when I'm nervous. What do you do?
 * Drew: Isn't it obvious?
 * Lisa: You eat?
 * Drew: Shut up. I sweat.

 * Drew: Wait! I want kids!
 * Lisa: Drew, I can't do this for you.
 * Drew: Then I'll have the kids. Look. I have child-bearing hips.

 * Lisa: It wouldn't have worked out. Your face is too fat.
 * Drew: Yeah? Well, your calves are too close to your ankles.
 * Lisa: Your ears aren't level. [walks away]
 * Drew: [shouting] Yeah, neither are your breasts! [quieter] Did I just say that aloud in front of the entire office?

Nature Abhors a Vacuum [1.4]

 * Lewis: Hey, I gave one guy three black eyes.

No Two Things in Nature are Exactly Alike [1.5]

 * Drew: [drafting a new memo] From now on, all employees will be required to bring their sense of humor to work every day. This replaces the current practice of shoving a stick up your butt!

Drew Meets Lawyers [1.6]

 * Drew: I'm tired of giving in. I give in every day of my life! I give in to my boss, I give in to my neighbors, I even give in and buy American. And when that breaks, I buy American again!

Drew in Court [1.7]

 * Drew: Ms. Bobeck, will you please tell the court what you told me out in the hall? And remember, there were witnesses! [gestures to Kate, Oswald and Lewis]
 * Mimi: I said I think you're a disgusting pig and I hate your guts with an all-consuming passion.
 * Drew: After that.
 * Mimi: I'd do whatever it took to get you put away.
 * Drew: After that.
 * Mimi: You four-eyed butt weasel.
 * Drew: Your honour, I would like you to consider this witness's testimony impeached and I also would like to request a 10 minute recess because, well, that hurt!

 * Drew: How did I harass Nora by putting up that cartoon? Define sexual harassment for me!
 * Lewis: According to this, sexual harassment is any unwelcome touching or advance.
 * Drew: That's every sexual advance I make!

 * Drew: Here's a joke that won't offend anybody: a person and a person walk into a place. There, that's it.

 * Drew: [making closing argument] That guy at Tiananmen Square wasn't trying to stop a tank; he was trying to tell a funny knock-knock joke. 'Knock Knock. Who's there? A big-ass tank.' Lighten up, people!

Lewis' Sister [1.8]

 * Kate: How did it go?
 * Drew: We had really great seats. You could almost see the Angel of Death right behind Keith Richards.

 * Lewis: [about Drew and Janet] What if it doesn't work out? If she dumps you, it'll make things incredibly awkward. And if you dump her, there'll be nobody to comfort her because everybody will be too busy trying to catch the monkeys that are flying out of my butt.

 * Kate: Don't worry about Drew, he's just a big teddy bear! [Rubs his stomach.]
 * Drew: Kate, don't rub my stomach. How'd you like it if you were in a business meeting and I went over and honked your breasts?

 * Drew: Basketball...is war. To lose...is to die. And last Saturday, we got killed. I am ashamed to be your coach. [throws his hat on the floor] Should we give up? Should we turn in our uniforms? Should we admit we're losers? Or should we stop the lollygagging and start playing some basketball?! Now listen up, ladies... [camera shows that he's coaching a team of girls] ...I'm not doing this for my health. I don't do anything for my health. I'm not doing this because the shorts make me look good. I got better shorts, shorts you'll never see. No, I am doing this for the Winfred-Lauder department store. And if I'm going to be volunteering my time, I want to see some effort! I want to see sweat! I want to see blood! I want to see someone get hurt!

 * Kate: [giving Drew a reason to ask out Janet] You're not seeing anybody.
 * Drew: Please, I'm already using that excuse for not exercising.

Drew and Mrs. Louder [1.9]

 * Oswald: She sent a note... and it's a dirty note! 'The penis mightier than the sword!'
 * Drew: Let me see that...That's 'pen is,' you moron!

 * Lewis: Sounds like she's really got you by the 'pen is.'

Science Names Suck [1.10]

 * Drew: Fudgesicle. I like anything on a stick.

The Electron Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree [1.11]

 * Lewis: How about some 8-ball? Winner gets complete control of the loser's life.
 * Oswald: Wait, I already lost that to you last week.
 * Lewis: Well, then you have no choice.

 * Oswald: You know, I was driving around today and I got the strangest feeling I was supposed to do something.
 * Drew: You were supposed to pick up my dad at the airport! Damn it! Now I gotta...
 * Drew's Dad: What the hell did I tell you about swearing?
 * Drew: Only at church and in front of old ladies! Hi, Dad!

Isomers Have Distinct Characteristics [1.12]

 * Kate: You put MIMI in Cosmetics?! Oh, great. Why don't we just put Ike Turner in the complaints department?

Drew and the Unstable Element [1.13]

 * Kate: [about Earl] So he is crazy?
 * Oswald: Hey, I don't want to be the first to call anybody crazy.
 * Kate: ...I already did.
 * Oswald: Then I concur. He's wicky in the wacky woo.
 * Drew: How could I miss it? We gave him a psychological profile. He passed with flying colors. Look. Under the question, "Have you ever experienced seizures, blackouts, or been institutionalized?" Says 'Never'
 * Kate: It doesn't say 'Never'; it says 'Over' as in 'turn over'.
 * Drew: No, it doesn't. [turns paper over] OH MY GOD!
 * Lewis: What's it say?
 * Drew: Well, it says in so many words, technically speaking, that he's wicky in the wacky woo.

There is No Scientific Name for a Show About God [1.15]

 * Drew: Thanks, Mimi. You're a Saint...Bernard.

 * Mimi: So, I see you've got a Bible there. Let me save you some reading; you're going to Hell.
 * Drew: Yeah, I've always wanted to see your place.

Drew's New Assistant [1.16]

 * Drew: [After walking into Mimi's apartment] Wow! Suddenly my eyes won't focus.
 * Lewis: Boy, you go to a garage sale and you wonder who buys all that crap...

The Front [1.17]

 * Lewis: Sorry I'm late. I was signing up for DrugCo's testing program.
 * Oswald: They test drugs on employees?
 * Lewis: Yeah, they used to test them on rats but they kept exploding.
 * Drew: Gee, doc, are there any side effects to this new drug? Well, just the one: kaboom!
 * Oswald: Hey, I want in on this! What kind of drugs are they testing?
 * Lewis: Smart drugs.
 * Oswald: They got drugs that make you smarter? What do they do?
 * Lewis: Well, our friend Oswald has stumbled onto a complex question: what is intelligence?
 * Drew: Well, it's not finding out rats explode and going "Hey, where do I sign up?"

 * [After Lewis and Oswald have been taking smart pills with no apparent effect]
 * Oswald: Let's go get something soft to eat. My cavity is hurting and neurons are spiking through my cerebral cortex like electrons through a linear accelerator.
 * Lewis: ...What'd you say?
 * Oswald: ...I said, "Let's get yogurt."
 * Lewis: Oh, okay. For a minute there I thought you said something smart. [They start to leave] Hey, are they still using linear accelerators?
 * Oswald: Actually, most particle accelerators are circular.
 * Lewis: Don't you mean "elliptical"?
 * Oswald: Ah, but aren't all circles ellipses? [They laugh] ... where's the car?
 * [They look around stupidly]

Atomic Cat Fight [1.19]

 * Kate: We're not going to fight for a job.
 * Lewis: What if we provide a cage?

 * Drew: If Kate gets the job, then it's not because she's the best friend a guy could ever have. And if Lisa gets the job, then it's not because that's the only chance we have of dating. But if Mimi gets the job, I want you to kill me and find the microchip. I'd rather be dead than serve those stinking extraterrestrials!

 * Kate: I actually learned something about myself; I don't have to resort to anger.
 * Drew: You tried to kill that lady's dog and cat.
 * Kate: Oh, you heard that?

 * Chuck: Should I cut off the airflow? Seal a few vents in the area? Takes the fight right out of them.
 * Drew: Nah, maybe later, just for fun.

Drew and Kate and Kate's Mom [1.20]

 * Mimi: [Mimi walks to her desk and sees the man who looks exactly like Drew.] So much crap, they had to start a second pile.

 * Kate: I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? Men are slime.
 * Oswald: Amen to that, sister!

 * Kate: Kiss me.
 * Drew: What?!
 * [Kate leans in closer.]
 * Kate: Kiss!
 * Drew: Hey, you don't know what you're saying. You're drunk. And you've been throwing up.

 * Kate: Besides, I can have any man in this bar! Am I right? [Climbs on table]
 * Drew: Hey, she's been drinking! And I know there's not a man in this bar who'd take advantage of a woman who's been drinking.
 * Oswald: [whispering] I have a gun.
 * Drew: I have a gun!

 * Lewis: What are you doing here? What are you doing in my rumpus room?

 * Kate: Don't let him play red!

 * Oswald: So, what are we listening to in the next hour?
 * Drew: I don't know, Whatever K-9 is.

(Plays Dogs Barking to the song Jingle Bells, Kate likes the tune of it, while Lewis kicks the jukebox.

 * Drew: You were drunk? Oh no. What am I going to do with this ring? And I already broke up with Lisa. I told my mother. She was so happy. [Pretends to cry] How could you do this to me? I suppose the sex didn't mean anything to you either!
 * Kate: Drew?
 * Drew': [still fake crying] What?!
 * Kate: You had so much to drink you couldn't even get your eyelids up.

 * Drew: This could work out, but you know, you'd have to be drunk all the time.

 * Drew: It's okay, Kate. There'll be other guys. Of course, your mom'll hate 'em, but eventually she'll be dead.

 * Lewis: [to the waitress] Who the hell are you? What are you doing in my rumpus room?

 * Mrs. O'Brien: So what's the matter? He's too stable? He's got too good of a job. Oh, he treats you too nicely. You know, I think you ought to stop looking at the guys with the tightest butts [pantomimes a butt with her hands] and start looking at [puts hands much further apart] Drew.

 * Kate: You're right. You know, I should call Drew right now and see if he wants to start a relationship. Because it's the end of the world, and my mother's been chugging COUGH SYRUP again!

 * Jay: But I don't have room in the cab.
 * Drew: Yeah, but you'd have room if your life depended on it, wouldn't you, buddy? Hear what I'm saying? Fire in the hole!

 * Drew: Hi, Mimi. Say, anyone ever mistake you for a woman?
 * Mimi: I'll have you know that men find me...
 * Drew: Yeah, I know. They find you with the lights out, or they find you at last call, or they find you blocking the view of the woman they want to hit on.

 * Drew: What do you think of Jay? He's a pretty nice guy, huh?
 * Mrs. O'Brien: Actually, he scares the life out of me.
 * Drew: No, Oswald's the one with the curly hair.

 * Lewis: Now do you think there's any way we can prove that Oswald's mentally incompetent?
 * Mrs. O'Brien: I think it would be harder to prove that he's not.

 * Drew: You've finally got a guy you can take home to Mom. What's not to like? [to Jay] I'd lose the earring.
 * Oswald: I'd take the hair down an inch.
 * Lewis: And how 'bout a skosh more room in those jeans?

 * Lewis: [to Oswald] Why don't you get Daddy a Jagrmeister?

 * Kate: [after her mother gives her a sweater] Ooh, I hope this is the one that lands me a man!

 * Kate: Sorry. Just killing Mom before time gets here.

Drew Gets Motivated [1.21]

 * Drew: I want this promotion more than anything.
 * Lewis: More than pubic hair when you were twelve?
 * Drew: Yeah, like I used that for the next eight years.
 * Oswald: What's it for anyway?
 * Jay: It's like the lettuce on the fruit plate. It's just for presentation.

Buzz Beer [1.22]

 * Oswald: If you'd bothered to swallow that, you would have realized it had absolutely no aftertaste.
 * Lewis: (Takes a sip, puckers lips, then smiles) Hey! The rotten egg taste is gone!

 * Drew: But it's a milk carton, little kids can't read... Hey, Can Timmy go out and play? No, I'm sorry, He just had a bowl of cereal and he's hammered.

 * Drew: (repeated line) I'm gonna lose my house.

 * Mr. Bell: What's the matter, Carey? You act like you've never seen me before.

 * Jay: Coffee and beer together? I gotta pee just thinking about it!

 * Drew: Oswald, nobody's gonna buy a beer that sets your mouth on fire!
 * Oswald: I know. (brings out a pitcher, then gives it back) We'll make our money on the water.

It's Your Party and I'll Crash If I Want To [2.10]

 * Lewis: I can't make it out through all the squiggly lines. Why don't you just pay the $10 a month so we can actually see it?
 * Drew: I can't. I already get the Cartoon Network, and I heard if you get that and the Sex Channel, they put you in a special file.

 * Lewis: [sipping from a wading pool] This has gotta be at least the fifth biggest margarita I've ever drank in my life.
 * Larry: The fifth biggest?
 * Lewis: Frat party, frat party, frat party, and the Super Mucho Grande Margarita at La Cucaracha's, which actually has its own undertow.

The Dog and Pony Show [3.8]

 * Kate: Drew, please tell me this isn't Mrs. Louder's dog!
 * Drew (nervous): No, tell me this isn't Mrs. Louder's dog...
 * Kate: What did you do? He was a prize breeding dog! They're supposed to look like that!
 * Drew (lamely): Well, it was hot...
 * Lewis: Well, it doesn't matter. I mean, fur grows back, right?
 * Drew: Unfortunately, we had something done to him that...doesn't grow back. (Kate understands, and she kneels down next to Lucky.)
 * Kate (sympathetically): You're not really Lucky at all, are you?

(Drew is on the phone with the vet who neutered Lucky.)

 * Drew: Listen, when you guys fix a dog, do you keep anything? (Beat) Well,, if that offends you, your world must be pretty damn small! (he hangs up) Lucky's charms are gone.

''(There is a knock at the door.)

 * Drew: Now, who the hell is that?
 * Lewis: I've heard of animals finding their way home; Maybe it's Lucky's testicles.
 * Drew: Well, it was two knocks. (He opens the door to find Mr. Wick standing there.) Well, I was close.
 * Mr. Wick: I suspect that was an insult, Carey but I don't have time. I've come to get Lucky.
 * Drew (coquettish): Well, Mr. Wick...
 * Mr. Wick: I meant Mrs. Louder's dog. (Mr. Wick sees Lucky, but doesn't realize that it's him.) My God, Carey, your dog is butt-ugly!

 * Drew: There's no more Ding-Dongs in Lucky's lunch box.

 * Mr. Wick: I know what this is, Carey! This is part of your plan to get me fired, but it's not going to work!
 * Drew: I'm gonna get fired too!
 * Mr. Wick: I didn't say it was a good plan, you Yankee clipper!

 * Oswald: Well, maybe looks don't really matter when you love your pet. (turning to Lewis) Remember that dog you had? he was ugly!
 * Lewis: That wasn't a dog.
 * Oswald: Then what was I feeding?
 * Lewis: That was Chester, the DrugCo cat! By the way, he's a bear now.

 * Mr. Wick: I make good money but I can't touch a penny of it! I have a passion for the ponies.
 * Oswald: A passion for ponies?! That's disgusting!
 * Mr. Wick: I BET on them, you moron!

 * Lewis: What if one of us has surprisingly red hair?

 * Mr. Wick: My captain still wears his cap to dinner.

 * Lewis: I can't do the Baby Elephant Walk. It just wouldn't be right.

 * Larry: I hear you're down a man, Carey.
 * Drew: Larry, what are you doing here?
 * Larry (smug): Got probation. I'm an upstanding citizen and a pillar of the community. Here's the deal: I'll take my clothes off for a hundred bucks.
 * Drew: Why should we let you join?
 * Larry: Wanna see what I bring to the party? (gestures to the bar) Step into my office... (They go behind the bar. Larry unzips his pants, and acts as if he's taking out something heavy. Drew stares at it dumbfoundedly for a second, then he rapidly downs a shot and looks at it again.)
 * Drew: You're in. (Larry nods and puts it back in his pants.) Geez, you think you'd be more popular.

 * Cop: How do you guys keep those packages up?
 * Mr. Wick: We've got Velcro.
 * Larry: You guys have Velcro?

 * Mimi: I'm ready for you. ''(She takes out a magnifying glass.)
 * Drew: You know, Mimi, I might get excited and have to do a little lap dance... (He demonstrates. Mimi holds out a $50 bill.)
 * Mimi: Here's my fifty bucks. Keep your punching bag outta my face.

Mr Louder's Birthday Party [3.15]

 * Drew: Come on, guys. I gotta leave in 15 minutes, I still haven't found anything nice to say about Mr. Louder.
 * Lewis: Oh, I got something. It says here he invented the word "sweatshop."
 * Drew: [incredulously] Really? Mr. Louder was a crusader for workers' rights.
 * Lewis: No, not exactly. He's quoted as saying, "I want to see my workers sweat so much in my shops, I can call them sweatshops, or maybe stink boxes."
 * Drew: Kate, you got anything about him?
 * Kate: Did you know he invented the cubicle?
 * Drew: No way!
 * Kate: Yeah. Originally, it was a cage, but he experimented and found out you only need three walls and people are trapped in their minds.
 * Drew: Oh, my God, I can just walk out!

 * Mrs. Louder: [on Drew's answering machine] Drew, this is Mrs. Louder. I just want you to know that Anderson got up there after you left, totally drunk, offending every ethnic group, age, and sex in the room, exposed himself, and still beat you handily.

The Engagement [3.17]

 * [Mimi is hooked up to a polygraph]
 * Drew: First, I have to ask a base question. Mimi Bobeck, did you invent the automobile?
 * Mimi: Yes, I did.
 * [The polygraph doesn't move]
 * Mr. Wick: Give her something more difficult, something impossible for her to say yes to. It'll set this thing off like a pinball machine.
 * Drew: Alright. Hey Mimi, how'd you like to get out the butter and massage oil and do a little slip 'n slide with me later on?
 * [Mimi takes two very deep breaths]
 * Mimi: Sounds great. [Once again, the polygraph doesn't move] I am a god! Yes, yes, yes!

A House Divided [4.14]

 * Mr. Wick: This, Carey, is a replica of the mall. If you refuse to sell your house, we'll build the whole thing right around you, and your house will be surrounded by a Baskin-Robbins, a cineplex, and a Victoria's Secret... Who the hell built this model?! We might as well put a rocket up his bum and shoot him into Heaven!

Drew and the Trail Scouts [6.7]

 * Lewis: Man... what do you get a guy who's just lost the girl of his dreams and is having a gay green-card wedding just to get his crappy job back?
 * Oswald: Champagne flutes?
 * Lewis: You read my mind.

Finale [9.26]
[angry seeing his wife now together with Lewis]
 * Don: Whore! Whore! WHOOOOOORRRREEEEE!

 * [The series' last lines: Drew and Kelly's son has just been born]
 * Kelly: You know, honey, we never did settle on a name.
 * Drew: Oh, I'm so exhausted from all this. Why don't you pick?
 * Kelly: Well, maybe we should name him after the man who was kind enough to die to give us a priest.
 * Drew: Oh, that's a wonderful idea. What was Mr. Clark's first name?
 * Priest: Enos.
 * Drew: Drew Jr. it is.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Fireproof. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fireproof~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikiquote! We hope you will continue to contribute useful quotes like the ones you added to The Ground Beneath Her Feet. However, please refrain from adding your signature to the quote articles themselves. Your contributions are recorded in the article history, which you can examine by clicking on the "history" tab at the top middle of any Wikiquote page. We do ask that you sign Talk page postings, which are discussions about article content. (For example, the Talk page for the above article would be at Talk:The Ground Beneath Her Feet, and can be accessed from a quote article by clicking on the "discussion" tab, also at the top middle of the article's page.) If you have any questions, feel free to post a note to me on my Talk page by clicking the link in my signature below. Thank you for your cooperation. — Jeff Q (talk) 15:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
