A Clockwork Orange (film)

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 film about a violent gang of teenagers in a futuristic Britain, whose Beethoven-obsessed leader is captured and given aversion therapy to combat his violent tendencies.
 * Written and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by Anthony Burgess.

'''Being the adventures of a young man ... who couldn't resist pretty girls ... or a bit of the old ultra-violence ... went to jail, was re-conditioned ... and came out a different young man ... or was he?''' - taglines

Alex DeLarge

 * [voiceover] There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
 * [voiceover] It was around by the derelict casino that we came across Billyboy and his four droogs. They were getting ready to perform a little of the old in-out, in-out on a weepy young devotchka they had there.
 * Ho, ho, ho! Well if it isn't fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarbles, ya eunuch jelly thou!
 * [voiceover] The Durango-95 purred away real horrorshow - a nice, warm, vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts. Soon, it was trees and dark, my brothers, with real country dark. We fillied around for a while with other travellers of the night, playing hogs of the road. Then we headed West. What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick, and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultra-violence.
 * Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.
 * [voiceover] We were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it having been an evening of some small energy expenditure, O my brothers. So we got rid of the auto and stopped off at the Korova for a nightcap.
 * [voiceover] And it was like for a moment, O my brothers, some great bird had flown into the milkbar and I felt all the malenky little hairs on my plott standing endwise and the shivers crawling up like slow malenky lizards and then down again. Because I knew what she sang. It was a bit from the glorious Ninth, by Ludwig van.
 * [While listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony] Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!
 * A bit cold and pointless, isn't it, my lovely? What's happened to yours, my little sister? (...) What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited.
 * [voiceover] As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside but thinking all the time. So now it was to be Georgie the General, saying what we should do, and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless, grinning bulldog. But, suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones used like inspiration and what Bog sends. For now it was lovely music that came to my aid. There was a window open, with a stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.
 * [voiceover] I had not cut into any of Dim's main cables and so, with the help of a clean tashtook, the red, red kroovy soon stopped, and it did not take long to quieten the two wounded soldiers, down in the snug of the Duke of New York. Now they knew who was Master and Leader. Sheep, thought I, but a real leader knows always when like to give and show generous to his unders.
 * Initiative comes to thems that wait.
 * Naughty, naughty, naughty. You filthy old soomka.
 * This is the real weepy and like tragic part of the story beginning. O my brothers and only friends. After a trial with judges and a jury, and some very hard words spoken against your friend and humble narrator, he was sentenced to fourteen years in Staja No. 84F, among smelly perverts and hardened prestoopnicks, the shock sending my dadda beating his bruised and krovvy rookers against unfair Bog in his Heaven, and my mum boohoohooing in her mother's grief, at her only child and son of her bosom like letting everybody down real horrorshow.
 * [voiceover] It had not been edifying, indeed not, being in this hellhole and human zoo for two years now, being kicked and tolchocked by brutal warders, and meeting leering criminals and perverts, ready to dribble all over a luscious young malchick like your storyteller.
 * [voiceover] I read all about the scourging and the crowning with thorns and I could viddy myself helping in and even taking charge of the tolchocking and the nailing in, being dressed in the height of Roman fashion. I didn't so much like the latter part of the book, which is more like all preachy talking than fighting and the old in-out. I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens. That kept me going.
 * [voiceover] And viddy films, I would. Where I was taken to, brothers, was like no sinny I ever viddied before. I was bound up in a straitjacket and my gulliver was strapped to a headrest with like wires running away from it. Then they clamped like lidlocks on my eyes so that I could not shut them no matter how hard I tried. It seemed a bit crazy to me, but I let them get on with what they wanted to get on with. If I was to be a free young malchick again in a fortnight's time, I would put up with much in the meantime, O my brothers. So far, the first film was a very good, professional piece of sinny, like it was done in Hollywood. The sounds were real horrorshow. You could slooshy the screams and moans very realistic, and you could even get the heavy breathing and panting of the tolchocking malchicks at the same time. And then, what do you know, soon our dear old friend, the red, red vino on tap, the same in all places like it's put out by the same big firm, began to flow. It was beautiful. It's funny how the colours of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen. Now all the time I was watching this, I was beginning to get very aware of like not feeling all that well, and this I put down to all the rich food and vitamins, but I tried to forget this, concentrating on the next film which jumped right away on a young devotchka who was being given the old in-out, in-out first by one malchick, then another, then another...When it came to the sixth or seventh malchick, leering and smecking and then going into it, I began to feel really sick. But I could not shut my glazzies. And even if I tried to move my glazz-balls about, I still could not get out of the line of fire of this picture.
 * [voiceover] It was the next day, brothers, and I had truly done my best, morning and afternoon, to play it their way and sit, like a horrorshow co-operative malchick, in the chair of torture, while they flashed nasty bits of ultra-violence on the screen. Though not on the soundtrack, my brothers. The only sound being music. Then I noticed in all my pain and sickness what music it was that like cracked and boomed - it was Ludwig van - Ninth Symphony, fourth movement.
 * It's not fair! It's not fair that I should feel sick when I hear lovely, lovely Ludwig Van!
 * [voiceover] And, O my brothers, would you believe your faithful friend and long suffering narrator pushed out his red yahzik a mile-and-a-half to lick the grahzny, vonny boots...The horrible killing sickness had whooshed up, and turned the like joy of battle into a feeling I was going to snuff it.
 * [voiceover] She came towards me with the light like it was the like light of heavenly grace, and the first thing that flashed into my gulliver was that I'd like to have her right down there on the floor with the old in-out, real savage. But as quick as a shot came the sickness, like a detective that had been watching around the corner and now followed to make his arrest.
 * [to his Mum and Dad] Right! I'm leaving now! You won't ever viddy me no more. I'll make me own way! Thank you very much. Let it lie heavy on your consciences.
 * [voiceover] Then there was like a sea of dirty smelly old men, trying to get at your Humble Narrator, with their feeble rookers and horny old claws. It was old age having a go at youth, and I daren't do a single, solitary thing, O my brothers, it being better to be hit at like that than want to sick and feel that horrible pain.
 * [voiceover] I woke up. The pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realised what it was. The music coming up from the floor was our old friend, Ludwig van, and the dreaded Ninth Symphony.
 * [voiceover] Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep for ever, and ever and ever.
 * [voiceover] I jumped, O my brothers, and I fell hard, but I did not snuff it. If I had snuffed it, I would not be here to tell what I told have! I came back to life, after a long black, black gap of what might have been a million years.
 * No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter.
 * Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them, and pick them all up, and throw—AAH! Fucking hell.
 * [last line of the film] I was cured all right.

Mr. Deltoid

 * It's just a "Matter of speech" from your post-corrective advisor that you watch out, little Alex, because next time it's not going to be the Corrective School anymore. Next time, it's going to be the barry place and all my work ruined. If you've no respect for your horrible self, you at least might have some for me who's sweated over you. A big black mark, I tell you, for every one we don't reclaim. A confession of failure for every one of you who ends up in the stripey hole.
 * This is the end of the line for me, eh? The end of the line, yes!

Minister

 * Excellent. He's enterprising, aggressive, outgoing, young, bold, vicious. He'll do...He's perfect. I want his records sent to me. This vicious young hoodlum will be transformed out of all recognition.
 * As I was saying, Alex, you can be instrumental in changing the public verdict. Do you understand, Alex? Do I made myself clear?
 * Tomorrow, we send him out with confidence into the world again, as decent a lad as you would meet on a May morning. What a change is here, ladies and gentlemen, from the wretched hoodlum the State committed to unprofitable punishment some two years ago. Unchanged after two years. Unchanged, do I say? - not quite. Prison taught him the false smile, the rubbed hand of hypocrisy, the fawning, greased obsequious leer. Other vices it taught him, as well as confirming in those he had long practiced before. Our party promised to restore law and order and to make the streets safe again for the ordinary peace-loving citizen. This pledge is now about to become a reality. Ladies and gentlemen, today is an historic moment. The problem of criminal violence is soon to be a thing of the past. But enough of words. Actions speak louder than. Action now. Observe all.
 * Our subject is impelled towards the good by paradoxically being impelled towards evil. The intention to act violently is accompanied by strong feelings of physical distress. To counter these, the subject has to switch to a diametrically opposed attitude. Any questions?

Dr. Brodsky

 * Very soon now, the drug will cause the subject to experience a death-like paralysis, together with deep feelings of terror and helplessness. One of our early test subjects described it as being like death, a sense of stifling or drowning, and it is during this period we have found that the subject will make his most rewarding associations between his catastrophic experience-environment and the violence he sees.

Dr. Branom

 * [to Alex] Violence is a very horrible thing. That's what you're learning now. Your body is learning it...You felt ill this afternoon because you're getting better. You see, when we are healthy, we respond to the presence of the hateful with fear and nausea. You're becoming healthy, that's all. By this time tomorrow, you'll be healthier still.

Joe

 * I've heard about you. I know what you've done. Breaking the hearts of your poor grieving parents. So you're back, eh? You're back to make life a misery for your lovely parents once more, is that it?
 * You've been like a father and mother to me. Well, it wouldn't be fair now or right, I mean, for me to go off and leave you two to the tender mercies of this young monster, who's been like no real son at all. Look, he's weeping now. But that's all his craft and artfulness. Let him go and find a room somewhere else. Let him learn the errors of his way, and that a bad boy like he's been doesn't deserve such a good mum and dad as he's had...You've made others suffer. It's only right that you should suffer proper.

Mr. Alexander

 * I know you! Isn't it your picture in the newspapers? Didn't I see you on the video this morning? Are you not the poor victim of this horrible new technique?
 * (talking over phone) Recruiting brutal young roughs into the police, proposing debilitating and will-sapping techniques of conditioning. Oh, we've seen it all before in other countries. The thin end of the wedge. Before we know where we are, we shall have the full apparatus of totalitarianism. [looks over shoulder in  the empty room] This young boy is a living witness to these diabolical proposals. The people - the common people - must know, must see. There are great traditions of liberty to defend. The tradition of liberty is all. The common people will let it go. Oh yes. They will sell liberty for a quieter life - that is why they must be led, sir, driven, pushed!!

Others

 * Policeman: [to Deltoid] If you'd care to give him a bash in the chops, sir, don't mind us. We'll hold him down. He must be a great disappointment to you, sir.
 * Chief Guard: [to Alex] You are now 655321, and it is your duty to memorise that number.
 * Chaplain: What's it going to be then, eh? Is it going to be in and out of institutions like this, though more in than out for most of you? Or are you going to attend to the Divine Word and realise the punishments that await unrepentant sinners in the next world as well as this? A lot of idiots you are, selling your birthright for a saucer of cold porridge, the thrill of theft, of violence, the urge to live easy. Well, I ask you, what is it worth, when we have undeniable proof, yes, incontrovertible evidence that Hell exists? I know, I know, my friends. I have been informed in visions that there is a place darker than any prison, hotter than any flame of human fire, where souls of unrepentant criminal sinners like yourselves—Don't you laugh, damn you, don't you laugh! I say like yourselves, scream in endless and unendurable agony. Their skin rotting and peeling, a fireball spinning in their screaming guts. I know, oh yes, I know.
 * Prison Governor: These new ridiculous ideas have come at last and orders are orders, though I may say to you in confidence that I do not approve. An eye for an eye, I say. If someone hits you, you hit back, do you not? Why then should not the State, very severely hit by you brutal hooligans, not hit back also? But the new view is to say no. The new view is that we turn the bad into good. All of which seems to me to be grossly unjust, eh? (...) You are to be reformed.
 * Tramp: This is the poisonous young swine that near done me in—him and his friends, they beat me and kicked me and punched me. Stop him, stop him. They laughed at me blood and me moans. This murderous young pig is a prize specimen of the cowardly brutal young! He is in our midst and at our mercy! Give it to him! That's it!

Dialogue

 * Alex: [voiceover] One thing I could never stand was to see a filthy, dirty old drunkie, howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blerp, blerp in between, as it might be a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts. I could never stand to see anyone like that, whatever his age might be, but more especially when he was real old like this one was.
 * [The boys stop and applaud the Tramp's singing]
 * Tramp: Can you spare some cutter, me brothers?
 * [Alex rams his club into the tramp's stomach]
 * Tramp: Go on, do me in, you bastard cowards. I don't want to live anyway...not in a stinking world like this.
 * Alex: Oh...and what's so stinking about it?
 * Tramp: It's a stinking world because there's no law and order any more. It's a stinking world because it lets the young get onto the old, like you done. Oh...it's no world for an old man any longer. What sort of a world is it at all? Men on the moon, and men spinning around the earth, and there's not no attention paid to earthly law and order no more.

 * Alex: [narrating] There were some sophistos from the TV studios around the corner, laughing and govoreeting. The devotchka was smecking away, not caring about the wicked world one bit. Then the disc on the stereo twanged off and out. And in the short silence before the next one came on, she suddenly came with a burst of singing. [the woman starts singing. Alex watches, with a smile creeping across his face] And it was like, for a moment, O my brothers, some great bird had flown into the milkbar. And I felt all the malenky little hairs on my plott standing endwise, and the shivers crawling up like slow, malenky lizards, and then down again. Because I knew what she sang. It was a bit from the Glorious Ninth by Ludwig Van.
 * [Dim derisively rasps at the woman, but Alex angrily smashes him across the legs with his cane]
 * Dim: What did you do that for?
 * Alex: For being a bastard with no manners, and not a dook of an idea how to comport yourself public-wise, O my brother! [smiles at the woman and raises his glass to her]
 * Dim: I don't like you should do what you done. And I'm not your brother no more and wouldn't want to be.
 * Alex: Watch that. Do watch that, O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou dost wish.
 * [The sophistos, and a couple of bouncers, watch the exchange nervously from their tables, while Pete and Georgie stare at their boots]
 * Dim: Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you! I'll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime. Not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. Well, it stands to reason, I won't have it.
 * Alex: A nozh scrap anytime you say.
 * ['uncomfortable pause]
 * Dim: Doobiedoob, a bit tired maybe. Best not to say more. Bedways is rightways now, so best we go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right-right?
 * Pete and Georgie: Right-right.
 * Alex: Right-right.

 * Dad: I wonder, where exactly is it he goes to work of evenings?
 * Mum: Well, like he says, it's mostly odd things he does, helping like, here and there as it might be.

 * Deltoid: There was a bit of a nastiness last night, yes? Some very extreme nastiness, yes? A few of a certain Billyboy's friends were ambulanced off late, yes? Your name was mentioned, the word has got thru to me by the usual channels. Certain friends of yours were named also. Oh, nobody can prove anything about anybody as usual, but I'm warning you, little Alex, being a good friend to you as always, the one man in this sore and sick community who wants to save you from yourself!
 * [he strikes Alex sharply in the groin]
 * [Alex gets up and adjusts his underwear]
 * [Deltoid blindly drinks water from a glass with dentures soaking inside.]
 * Deltoid: What gets into you all? We study the problem. We've been studying it for damn well near a century, yes, but we get no further with our studies. You've got a good home here, good loving parents, you've got not too bad of a brain. Is it some devil that crawls inside of you?
 * Alex: Nobody's got anything on me, brother, sir. I've been out of the rookers of the millicents for a long time now.
 * Deltoid: That's just what worries me. A bit too long to be safe. You're about due now by my reckoning. That's why I'm warning you, little Alex, to keep your handsome young proboscis out of the dirt. Do I make myself clear?
 * Alex: As an unmuddied lake, sir. As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. You can rely on me, sir.
 * [Deltoid drinks from the glass again, and sees the dentures inside. He gags.]

 * Alex: Let's get things nice and sparkling clear. This sarcasm, if I may call it such, does not become you, O my little brothers. As I am your droog and leader, I am entitled to know what goes on, eh? Now then, Dim, what does that great big horsy gape of a grin portend?
 * Georgie: All right, no more picking on Dim, brother. That's part of the new way.
 * Alex: New way? What's this about a new way? There's been some very large talk behind my sleeping back, and no error.
 * Georgie: Well, if you must have it, have it then. We go around, shop crasting and the like, coming out with a pitiful rookerful of money each.
 * Dim: Pitiful rookerful.
 * Georgie: And there's Will the English, in the Muscleman coffee mesto, saying he can fence anything that any malchick tries to crast. The shiny stuff, the ice, the big, big, big money is available, is what Will the English says.
 * Dim: Big, big money.
 * Alex: And what will you do with the big, big, big money? Have you not everything you need? If you need a motor car, you pluck it from the trees. If you need pretty polly, you take it.
 * Georgie: Brother, you think and talk sometimes like a little child.

 * Alex: It's no good sitting there in hope, my little brothers. I won't say a single solitary slovo unless I have my lawyer here. I know the law, you bastards.
 * Inspector: Righty-right, Tom. We'll have to show our little friend Alex, here, that we know the law, too. But that knowing the law isn't everything.

 * Deltoid: Dear, dear, this boy does look a mess, doesn't he? Just look at the state of him.
 * Policeman 1: Love's young nightmare, like.
 * Inspector: Violence makes violence. He resisted his lawful arrestors.
 * Deltoid: Hmm, this is the end of the line for me. The end of the line, yes!
 * Alex: It wasn't me, brother, sir. Speak up for me, sir, for I'm not so bad. I was led on by the treachery of others, sir.
 * Policeman 1: Sings the roof off lovely, he does that. [laughs]
 * Alex: And what of my stinking traitorous droogs? Get them before they get away! It was all their idea, brothers! They forced me to do it! I'm innocent!
 * Deltoid: [laughs mockingly] You are now a murderer, little Alex. A murderer!
 * Alex: Not true, sir. It was only a slight tolchock. She were breathing, I swear it!
 * Deltoid: I've just come from the hospital. Your victim has died!
 * Alex: You try to frighten me. Admit so, sir. This is some new form of torture. Say it, brother, sir!
 * Deltoid: It'll be your own torture. I hope to God it'll torture you to madness.
 * Policeman 2: [to Deltoid] If you'd care to give him a bash in the chops, sir, don't mind us. We'll hold him down. He must be a great disappointment to you, sir.
 * [Deltoid spits in Alex's face]

 * [Alex, just arrived in prison, is emptying his pockets onto Chief Guard Barnes' desk]
 * Barnes: Are you able to see the white line painted on the floor directly behind you, 655321?
 * Alex: Yes, sir.
 * Barnes: Then your toes belong ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT!

 * [Alex is trying to persuade the prison chaplain to recommend him for the Ludovico Technique]
 * Chaplain: The Governor has grave doubts about it, and I have heard that there are very serious dangers involved.
 * Alex: I don't care about the dangers, Father. I just want to be good. I want for the rest of my life to be one act of goodness.
 * Chaplain: The question is whether or not this technique really makes a man good. Goodness comes from within. Goodness is chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.
 * Alex: I don't understand about the whys and wherefores, Father. I only know I want to be good.
 * Chaplain: Be patient, my son. Put your trust in the Lord.

 * Minister: Cram criminals together and what do you get - concentrated criminality, crime in the midst of punishment.
 * Governor: I agree, sir, what we need are larger prisons - more money.
 * Minister: Not a chance, my dear fellow. The Government can't be concerned any longer with outmoded penological theories. Soon we may be needing all our prison space for political offenders. Common criminals like these are best dealt with on a purely curative basis. Kill the criminal reflex, that's all. Full implementation in a year's time. Punishment means nothing to them, you can see that. They enjoy their so-called punishment.
 * Alex: You're absolutely right, sir.
 * Chief Guard Barnes: Shut your bleedin' hole!
 * Minister: Who said that?
 * Alex: I did, sir.
 * Minister: What is your crime?
 * Alex: The accidental killing of a person, sir.
 * Chief Guard Barnes: He brutally murdered a woman, in furtherance of theft! Fourteen years, sir!

 * Alex: [narrating while being forced to watch a World War II movie with Nazis.] It was the next day, brothers. And I had truly done my best, morning and afternoon, to play it their way and sit like a horrorshow cooperative malchik in the chair of torture, while they flashed nasty bits of ultraviolence on the screen. Though not on the soundtrack, my brothers -- the only sound being music. Then I noticed, in all my pain and sickness, what music it was that, like, cracked and boomed. It was Ludwig Van -- 9th symphony, 4th movement.
 * Alex: [screaming] STOP IT! STOP IT, PLEASE! I BEG YOU! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN!
 * Dr. Brodsky: Sin? What's all this about sin?
 * Alex: THAT! Using Ludwig van like that! He did no harm to anyone! Beethoven just wrote music!
 * Dr. Branom: Are you referring to the background score?
 * Alex: YES!
 * Dr. Branom: You've heard Beethoven before?
 * Alex: YES!
 * Dr. Brodsky: So you're keen on music?
 * Alex: [Emphatically] YES!
 * Dr. Brodsky: Can't be helped. Here's the punishment element perhaps. The Governor ought to be pleased...I'm sorry, Alex, this is for your own good. You'll have to bear with us for a while.

 * Chaplain: Choice! The boy has no real choice, has he?! Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrong-doer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.
 * Minister: Padre, these are subtleties! We are not concerned with motives, with the higher ethics. We are concerned only with cutting down crime! And with relieving the ghastly congestion in our prisons. He will be your true Christian, ready to turn the other cheek, ready to be crucified rather than crucify. Sick to the very heart at the thought even of killing a fly. Reclamation, joy before the angels of God. The point is that it works!
 * Alex: [voice-over] And the very next day, your Friend and Humble Narrator was a free man.

 * [Alex gags nauseously as he raises his fist, after being riled by Joe.]
 * Dad: Are you all right, lad?
 * Mum: Dad...it's the treatment.
 * Joe: Well, it's disgusting. I mean, it's enough to put you off your food.
 * Mum: Oh leave him be, Joe, it's the treatment.

 * [Alex encounters his old friends Dim and Georgie, who are now policemen, much to his horror.]
 * Dim: Well! Well, well, well! Well, well, well, well! If it isn't little Alex! Long time, no viddy, droog! How goes?
 * Alex: It's impossible! I don't believe it!
 * Georgie: Evidence of the ol' glazzies! Nothing up our sleeves. No magic, little Alex. A job for two who are now of job age. The police!

 * [Dim and Georgie take Alex into the countryside after arresting him]
 * Dim: Go on, Alex! Time for walkies!
 * Alex: Come, come, come, my little droogies. I just don't get this at all. The old days are dead and gone. For what I did in the past, I've been punished.
 * Dim: Punished!
 * Alex: I've been cured!
 * Dim: Cured, yeah! That was read out to us. The Inspector read it all out to us. He said it was a very good way.
 * Alex: But what is all this? It was them that went for me, brothers. Well, you're not on their side, and can't be. Well, you can't be, Dim. It was someone we fillied with back in the old days, trying to get his own little bit of revenge after all this time. Remember, Dim?
 * Dim: Long time is right. I don't remember them days too horrorshow. And don't call me Dim no more either! Officer, call me!
 * Georgie: Enough is remembered, though, little Alex.
 * Dim: This is to make sure you stay cured!
 * [holds Alex's head in a water trough as Georgie beats him repeatedly with a nightstick]
 * Georgie: He's had enough, droogie.
 * Dim: A bit more! He's still kicking!
 * [finally lets Alex up after several more seconds]
 * Dim: Cured, are you? Be viddying you some more sometime, droogie!

 * Alex: Your wife, sir, is she away?
 * Mr. Alexander: NO, SHE'S DEAD!
 * Alex: I'm sorry to hear about that, sir.
 * Mr. Alexander: [raving] She was very badly raped, you see. We were assaulted by a gang of vicious young hoodlums in this house, in this very room you are sitting in now. I was left a helpless cripple, but for her, the agony was too great. The doctors said it was pneumonia because it happened some months later during a flu epidemic. The doctors told me it was pneumonia but I knew what it was. A victim of the modern age - poor, poor girl. [calmer] And now, you, another victim of the modern age, but you can be helped.

 * Conspirator: Do you still feel suicidal?
 * Alex: Well, put it this way, I feel very low in myself. I can't see much in the future, and I feel that any second something terrible is going to happen to me. [slumps into spaghetti]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Minister: [as he feeds Alex morsels of food] We tried to help you. We followed recommendations which were made to us that turned out to be wrong. An inquiry will place the responsibility where it belongs. We want you to regard us as friends. We put you right. You are getting the best of treatment. We never wished you harm, but there are some who did, and do, and I think you know who those are. There are certain people who wanted to use you for political ends. They would have been glad to have you dead, for they thought they could then blame it all on the Government. There is also a certain man, a writer of subversive literature, who has been howling for your blood. He has been mad with desire to stick a knife into you but you are safe from him now. We put him away. He found out that you had done wrong to him. At least he believed you had done wrong. He formed this idea in his head that you had been responsible for the death of someone near and dear to him. He was a menace. We put him away for his own protection, and also for yours...We are interested in you and when you leave here you will have no worries. We shall see to everything - a good job on a good salary.
 * Alex: What job and how much?
 * Minister: You must have an interesting job with a salary which you would regard as adequate, not only for the job that you're going to do, and in compensation for what you believe you have suffered, but also because you are helping us.
 * Alex: Helping you, sir?
 * Minister: We always help our friends, don't we? It is no secret that this Government has lost a lot of popularity because of you, my boy. There are some who think that at the next election, we shall be out. The press has chosen to take a very unfavourable view of what we tried to do. But public opinion has a way of changing, and you, Alex -- if I may call you Alex?
 * Alex: Certainly, sir. what do they call you at home?
 * Minister: My name is Frederick. As I was saying, Alex, you can be instrumental in changing the public's verdict. Do you understand, Alex? Do I make myself clear?
 * Alex: As an unmuddied lake, Fred. As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. You can rely on me, Fred.

 * Cat Lady: Oh shit. Who's there?
 * Alex: Excuse me, missus, can you please help? There's been a terrible accident. Can I please use your telephone for an ambulance?
 * Cat Lady: I'm frightfully sorry. There is a telephone in the Public House about a mile down the road. I suggest you use that.
 * Alex: But, missus, this is an emergency. It's a matter of life and death. Me friend's lying in the middle of the road bleeding to death.
 * Cat Lady: I'm very sorry but I never open the door to strangers after dark.
 * Alex: Very well, madam. I suppose you can't be blamed for being suspicious with so many scoundrels and rouges of the night about. Dim, bend down. I'm gonna get in that window and open the front door.
 * Cat Lady: Hello, Radlett Police Station. Good evening. It's Miss Weathers at Woodmere Health Farm... hello look I'm frightfully sorry to bother you but something rather odd has just happened... Well, it's probably nothing at all, but you never know... Well, a young man ring the bell asking to use the telephone... He said there had been some kind of accident. The thing that caught my attention was what he said ó the words he used, sounded exactly like what was quoted in the papers this morning in connection with the writer and his wife who were assaulted last night... Well, just a few minutes ago... Well, if you think that's necessary, but, well, I'm quite sure he's gone away now. Oh... alright. Fine. Thank you very much. Thank you.
 * Alex: Hi, hi, hi there! At last we meet. Our brief govoreet through the letter-hole was not, shall we say, satisfactory, yes?
 * Cat Lady: Who are you? How the hell did you get in here? What the bloody hell d'you think you're doing?
 * Alex: [sees a phallic sculpture on a table] Naughty, naughty, naughty, you filthy old soomka.
 * Cat Lady: Now listen here, you little bastard, just you turn around and walk out of here the same way as you came in. Leave that alone! Don't touch it! It's a very important work of art. [Alex rocks the statue back and forth] What the bloody hell do you want?
 * Alex: Well, to be perfectly honest, madam, I'm taking part in an international students' contest to see who can get the most points for selling magazines.
 * Cat Lady: Cut the shit, sonny, and get out of here before you get yourself into some very serious trouble. [Alex rocks the statue again] I told you to leave that alone! Now get out of here before I throw you out! Wretched slummy bedbug. I'll teach you to break into real people's houses. [swings a bust of Beethoven at him] Fucking little bastard!
 * [the two fight; Alex is hit in the head, then beats her unconscious with the sculpture]

About

 * The central idea of the film has to do with the question of free-will. Do we lose our humanity if we are deprived of the choice between good and evil? Do we become, as the title suggests, A Clockwork Orange? Recent experiments in conditioning and mind control on volunteer prisoners in America have taken this question out of the realm of science-fiction. At the same time, I think the dramatic impact of the film has principally to do with the extraordinary character of Alex, as conceived by Anthony Burgess in his brilliant and original novel. Aaron Stern, the former head of the MPAA rating board in America, who is also a practising psychiatrist, has suggested that Alex represents the unconscious: man in his natural state. After he is given the Ludovico 'cure' he has been 'civilized', and the sickness that follows may be viewed as the neurosis imposed by society.
 * The erotic decor in the film suggests a slightly futuristic period for the story. The assumption being that erotic art will eventually become popular art, and just as you now buy African wildlife paintings in Woolworth's, you may one day buy erotica. The violence in the story has to be given sufficient dramatic weight so that the moral dilemma it poses can be seen in the right context. It is absolutely essential that Alex is seen to be guilty of a terrible violence against society, so that when he is eventually transformed by the State into a harmless zombie you can reach a meaningful conclusion about the relative rights and wrongs. If we did not see Alex first as a brutal and merciless thug it would be too easy to agree that the State is involved in a worse evil in depriving him of his freedom to choose between good and evil. It must be clear that it is wrong to turn even unforgivably vicious criminals into vegetables, otherwise the story would fall into the same logical trap as did the old, anti-lynching Hollywood westerns which always nullified their theme by lynching an innocent person. Of course no one will disagree that you shouldn't lynch an innocent person—but will they agree that it's just as bad to lynch a guilty person, perhaps even someone guilty of a horrible crime? And so it is with conditioning Alex.

Terry Benedict

 * [about Danny] Where is he, Tess? Where is... Mr. Diaz?

Roman Nagel

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a 1992 film about a self-absorbed California high school student who learns she's the Chosen One, destined to defend humanity against vampires. The title character and basic concept were carried over to the far more successful TV series.
 * Directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui. Written by Joss Whedon.

Pert. Wholesome. Way Lethal. (taglines)

Buffy

 * Mmm. Wouldn't you guys love me in this?" [holding up a new jacket in front of her]
 * 'Pike' isn't a name. It's a fish.
 * Does Elvis talk to you?
 * What are you doing here? This is a naked place! [when Merrick approaches her in the girls' locker room]
 * All I wanna do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now, that may not sound too exciting to a scone-head like you, but I think it's swell. And then you come along and, and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can throw things at me? I don't THINK so!"
 * Collary: All that's missing is marrying Christian Slater...
 * I just think it sounds cool, you know? Buyer, buying, to buy... [about her future career as a 'Buyer']
 * Great. My secret weapon is PMS.
 * Merrick — you made a joke! Are you okay? I mean, do you wanna lie down? I know it hurts the first time.
 * Three weeks ago, all I thought about was... well, I didn't actually think about anything."
 * I'm the Chosen One, and I choose to be shopping.
 * "Why? Because it isn't in the Book of all Knowledgefulness that I'm going to be cheering at the Riverview game tomorrow? Lighten up, Merrick".

Merrick

 * You do everything wrong! [Buffy begins to apologize] No....Do it wrong.
 * There's a small village in Hampshire, near Stonehenge..." [notices Buffy's blank look] Near a bunch of big rocks. That's where I was born.
 * All this is a show. And when the music stops, the rest is silence.

Pike

 * I'm leaving, man, I'm bailing town. This place has gotten way too hairy.
 * I think I'll just hang out here. Make sure the sun comes up and everything.
 * I don't believe this! The world is under attack by legions of the undead, and you're going to a mixer?!?
 * You know, Benny was right? You're all the same. I'm not disappointed, I'm just angry!"
 * Are YOU addressing I?
 * [Buffy is lying on top of him after a large leap] What am I supposed to do, run? These guys are everywhere, and I wanna do some damage. I'm good with damage.
 * [sees Amilyn and Lothos with Buffy] "I know that guy. That is a bad guy. Can we go now? {when Buffy approaches Lothos] "Does anybody here but me have a problem with this?"
 * I crashed your party [Buffy responds, "How shallow."] Yeah well, I'm pretty shallow. Would I get my ass kicked if I asked you to dance?

Lothos

 * You must forgive Amilyn. He tends to drool before supper.
 * We can't be stopped. This is our world now.
 * What are we? We are man, perfected. We exist to consume.
 * Twelve hundred years old, and you behave like a child! Honestly, I don't know how you made it through the Crusades.

Amilyn

 * Wanna go for a ride?
 * You ruined my new jacket!" [to henchmen] "Kill him a LOT!" [after his left arm has been torn off]
 * Admit it, Buffy. Don't you sometimes feel... less than fresh?
 * (When Amilyn has one Arm) "We're immortal. We can do anything.
 * Buffy: "Oh yeah? Clap.

Kimberley

 * "Get out of my facial!"
 * "Buffy, what's your sitch? You're acting like the Thing from Another Tax Bracket".

Andy

 * [interview after vampire attack]: They had fangs. They were biting people. They had this look in their eyes — totally cold. Animal. I think they were Young Republicans.

Gary Murray

 * Don't think of me as Gary Murray, administrator. Think of me as Gary Murray — party guy.
 * I have detention slips here, and I'm not afraid to use them! [to horde of vampires attacking the school gym]
 * [after Lothos appears] "That is definitely not a student.
 * [dead vampires, with stakes sticking out of their hearts, litter the gym] "Detention, detention, detention...detention, detention, detention. I think that's all of them; no, wait, detention, detention, detention." [drops detention slips on the bodies]
 * [During the credits] Well, I think the kids learn a lesson about safety, except the dead ones. Well, they learned it, but didn't have time to implement it. Are we live?

The Coach

 * Now, what do we say on the court? Repeat after me: 'I am a person. I have a right to the ball'.
 * Hey, you missed practice again today. I think you better sit down and think about how that made me feel.
 * Assert your person-hood! Actualize! Actualize!

Others

 * Benny: Her yabbos scoff at gravity.
 * Biker:Hey, babe, you wanna get some real power between your legs?
 * Benny:Come on, Pike! Join me! Live forever! We can start a band!

Dialogue

 * [Buffy's mom bids farewell to Buffy and her boyfriend.]
 * Buffy's Mom: Bye-bye, Bobby.
 * Jeffery: Bye! [to Buffy] She thinks my name's Bobby?
 * Buffy: It's possible she thinks my name's Bobby.

 * Buffy: I got a C-plus on the test, and he tells me, "You have no sense of history." I have no sense of history? He wears a brown tie!
 * Nicole: You got a C-plus? I can't believe I cheated off you.
 * Buffy: Excuse me for not knowing about El Salvador. Like I'm ever going to Spain anyway.

 * [Buffy and her friends converse loudly in the movie theater.]
 * Benny: I can't believe these people. We paid money to see this.
 * Pike: No, we didn't.
 * Benny: Oh, yeah. But I still wanna know what happens!
 * Buffy: Everyone gets horribly killed except the blonde girl in the nightie, who finally kills the monster with a machete. But it's not really dead.
 * Jennifer: Oh, my God, is that true?
 * Buffy: Probably. What movie is this?
 * [Later: Buffy and her friends bump into the same two guys at a cafe.]
 * Pike: Hey, wait a minute...
 * Benny: You're the guys from the movie!
 * Pike: We hate you guys.
 * Pike: We hate you guys.

 * Pike: Would you have sex with them?
 * Benny: Another shot of this, I'll have sex with you.
 * Pike: Yeah, but then you'll never call me again.

 * [Benny, now a vampire, is floating outside Pike's window.]
 * Benny: Let me in, Pike. I'm hungry.
 * Pike: You're floating! Get outta here!

 * [Buffy & friends plan a school dance.]
 * Nicole: Buff, I don't see why we have to invite every senior.
 * Buffy: Because it's the senior dance? It's just a shot in the dark.

 * [Buffy just punched Merrick in the face.]
 * Buffy: Oh, wow. I, I never hit anybody before.
 * Merrick: Really? Well, you did it perfectly.
 * Buffy: I didn't even break a nail.

 * [Pike is preparing to leave town.]
 * Pike: Seen Benny lately?
 * Zeph: No. You want me to give him a message?
 * Pike: You should think about leaving too, man. Sell this place. There's something going on around here... I don't know, something really weird. [turns to leave]
 * Zeph: Hey — what do you want me to do if I see Benny?
 * Pike: Run.

 * [Merrick analyzes Buffy's first solo slaying.]
 * Merrick: He was slow. Very simple. They won't all be that easy.
 * Buffy: Fine.
 * Merrick: And the alley was a mistake. Never corner yourself like that. If they had come at you in force, you'd be dead now. One vampire is a lot easier to kill than ten.
 * Buffy: Does the word "duh" mean anything to you?

 * Merrick: None of the other girls gave me this much trouble.
 * Buffy: And where are they now? Hel-lo-o!
 * Buffy: I've got something none of the other girls had.
 * Merrick: And what's that?
 * Buffy: My keen fashion sense.
 * Merrick: Oh... vampires of the world, beware.
 * Buffy:Oh, you made a joke. Do you wanna lie down? I know it hurts the first time
 * Buffy:Oh, you made a joke. Do you wanna lie down? I know it hurts the first time

 * [In the school hallway, one of Jeffery's friends grabs Buffy from behind.]
 * Andy: Gotta get some!
 * [Buffy flips him, then jerks him to his feet and pins him against a locker.]
 * Andy: Whoa, whoa — I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't actually need any right now!
 * Buffy: Don't grab me, okay?
 * Andy: Absolutely! I now see the error of my mistake.

 * Merrick: Good Lord. What do you study in History?
 * Buffy: My nails.

 * [Pike has just crashed his van fleeing from a group of vampires.]
 * Buffy: Is this your van?
 * Pike: [dazed] Yeah...it was. It's... still...
 * Shambling Vampire: BluaaaaahUGH!

 * [Buffy arrives at a school dance to find her boyfriend with another girl.]
 * Jeffery: Didn't you get my message?
 * Buffy: You broke up with my machine?!
 * Jeffery: You weren't home. Like always.

 * [Vampires have surrounded the school gym.]
 * Buffy: Don't worry. They can't come in here. They can't come in unless they're invited.
 * Kimberley: I... already invited them.
 * [Everyone — students and faculty — stares at her.]
 * Kimberley: They're seniors!

 * [A vampire ex-student brags to Buffy.]
 * Buffy: We were friends.
 * Grueller: Now, I'm a god! [Pike stakes him]
 * Pike: And now, you're a coat rack.

 * [Buffy is confronted by the one-armed Amilyn.]
 * Amilyn: We're immortal, Buffy. We can do anything.
 * Buffy: Oh, yeah? Clap.

 * [Buffy faces the vampire lord Lothos.]
 * Lothos: You and I... are one.
 * Buffy: One what? Cute couple? I don't think so!
 * [Buffy brandishes a crucifix.]
 * Lothos: So this is your defense?, Please!, Your puny faith? [he grasps the crucifix; it bursts into flame.]
 * Buffy: No. My keen fashion sense. [she pulls a can of hair spray out of her purse.]
 * Buffy: No. My keen fashion sense. [she pulls a can of hair spray out of her purse.]

 * [After the climactic vampire battle, Buffy tends to the fallen Pike.]
 * Buffy: Are you all right?
 * Pike: Well... I can't move my legs.
 * Buffy: Why?
 * Pike: Because you're sitting on them.
 * ''[Buffy helps up an in pain Pike.]
 * Pike: Wow, did I do all of that?
 * Buffy: No.
 * Pike: (sighing) Did you do all of that?
 * Buffy: Yeah.

 * [Buffy and Pike are dancing.]
 * Pike: You know... you're not like other girls.
 * Buffy: Yes, I am. [puts her head on his shoulder]

 * Pike: C'mon, Lefty, you remember what happened the last time you messed with me.
 * Amilyn: Yeah, I do. [lifts Pike in the air by shirt collar]
 * Pike: Shit. [as Amilyn throws him across the parking lot]

Standard
Per your posting on my talk page, on how we can achieve consistency between articles with TV and film quotes:

Thanks for the compliments. I've started and contributed to several discussions on format standardization and basic decent Wiki markup support for TV and film quotes, and have been frustrated by the general lack of interest, let alone debate or consensus. However, I'll contribute to another attempt at a debate. I've reviewed the pages you mentioned here and added to your posting at Wikiquote talk:Templates with some alternative examples and my own views. We'll see if it gets any reaction. ☺ — Jeff Q 04:22, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Just a quick response
I just noticed your message. I try to monitor things here as much as I can, even when I'm not contributing actively and usually can catch vandalism within a few hours at the most, but I sometimes miss a few. I am in a bit of a rush right now, and probably won't have time to give you a full answer until tomorrow. I have a busy schedule. Thanks for your contributions. ~ Kalki 23:46, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I finally have had the time to make a more thorough response to your comments and questions. I don't believe we actively need to be concerned about increasing the number of the links to our project in the Wikipedia, beyond those that are made at corresponding articles there (usually among the external links, or right above them) and I believe that it is best to use the Wikimedia project linking formats rather than the external url format. I do think we eventually will have a far greater footprint on the web, and am working on a few ideas and proposals on how to more rapidly increase interest in this site, and the quantity and reliability of material available here. Right now we probably have a bigger footprint than is actually deserved, because of our association with the Wikipedia project, but within a few months I would like to see Wikiquote rightfully recognized as one of the best places to find quotations on the web. We are not there yet, but I do expect we eventually will be, and the sooner the better.

I covered how I try to deal with SPAM and other vandalism as rapidly as I can in yesterday's quick jot. When I am at my computer I almost always have at least one browser open, and periodically check in. Sometimes during slower activity periods, I set one of them to check for any changes to the "Recent changes" page every 11 minutes, and to notify me of any changes.

The idea about logging in to make edits to Wikimedia projects is an attractive one that has often been presented, but at least thus far continues to be rejected for various reasons. Other options that have been floated, are for a two tier, or multiple tier editing systems, where non-logged-in users could still make edits to some pages, like the talk/discussion pages to make suggestions, but not directly to the articles themselves. It seems that things will probably remain as they are though, for at least a while yet, and I have not kept careful track of the discussions on the matter.

On the formatting questions: the format you are using is acceptable to me, but I don't see the necessity of the three dots between lines, believe that the use of the more extensive bar at the bottom of the page, is preferable to the "See also: List of films" option,  and I am not sure if use of the " "  header format for sections is a desirable alternative to the use of "==" marks or not. I intend to make a fuller response to many of the issues involved with formatting of the film and show pages within the next week. I am glad that you have been a catalyst to discussion and hope that you will continue to find Wikiquote an interesting project to work on. ~ Kalki 19:11, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Clean-up" and "stub" postings
First, I want to thank you for reverting the spam vandal's pollution; I have not been able to keep watch here the last couple of nights like I usually try to, and the more people actively reverting this unwelcome junk the better. But many of your edits last night raise issues as to what we should consider a stub here, and seem to be implicit criticisms of quote pages that simply aren't arranged to your own inclinations or preferences.

I have stated that I agree there is a need for more definite format choices, and would like to narrow down the listed options that are available a bit, eliminating some that are exceptionally poor, but I re-emphasize that I do not think there should be any single style or arrangement mandated. I see nothing horribly wrong with many of these pages. As I have expressed in the past, I believe that some people (myself included) would prefer quotes to generally be presented in sequential order in most works, but I can see that there are often merits and advantages to having character-based sections or presentations as well. I really think the postings saying things are a mess is the messiest thing on most of these pages. Some things can certainly be improved on nearly all of them, but there is no need to declare all of them unacceptable based upon some implicit criteria that no one here have yet agreed to. The notices at this point give directions to pages that do not yet exist, and might not for a while. I continue to believe that the creator of pages should have a bit of choice in how they initially wish to arrange things, and not need to conform entirely to any set preferences, whether they be those of you, me, or anyone else.

If an article only has one or two quotes or little or no information as to the person or the work the page is about, I agree that it is incomplete, and should be worked on, but even a page with a couple of quotes and sufficient information about the person or work, can often be enough here, and no more need be expected or sought. Some people haven't said much to quote them on, yet still can merit a page for some notable statement that they have said, and we don't need to "pad" it with further information or quotes to make a larger article page. Evelyn Beatrice Hall comes to my mind in this regard. Her most famous statement is very notable, and usually quoted as being that of Voltaire, yet beyond the fact that it is she who first made that statement, it is hard to come across her further writings or much information about her. This isn't the wikipedia where we need to seek a "thorough" body of information upon anything, it is a compendium of quotes that people find interesting for some reason, whether they find them profoundly meaningful or simply amusing. While I see the usefulness of designating some pages as stubs, I would seek to reserve the use of "stub" notices to pages where there is basic information about the person or work missing, or that are very short pages, where one is confident that there is much more interesting material to be found. I will confess that I do believe that many somewhat notable films, books and people might have only one or two really notable quotes to provide, if that. People interested or familiar with particular works will most likely have their own favorites they wish to present, if they are not on a page already, and this should be the primary motive for creation or expansion of pages here, not to fill them with material because there is possibly more material that might be found.

You certainly have been an active editor since you started, and we certainly need more of these here. I am simply stating a disagreement with some of your current strategies and apparent inclinations, and I admit that I have been too busy lately to spend much time elaborating upon or developing some of my own, and need to get a bit more busy with them. I hope to have several ideas ready for presentation within the next couple of weeks that I believe could help us expand the project a bit more rapidly, and would make some options and suggestions clearer than they have been. Despite some points where I believe we are thus far inclined to disagree, you have been a bit of a goad to my own activity on work for this project, and probably other people's as well, and this is a good thing. I probably won't be able to be as active here as I would like for at least a couple more days, but I intend to do quite a bit of work here (and a few other projects) in the next few weeks. I really believe that what we most need at this point is a more extensive set of pages for people, books, films, and shows, and that once we have a broad range of pages established, people with more pronounced interest in particular pages will come along and gradually extend and develop many of them in various noteworthy ways. I truly believe in trying to preserve a state where there is only minimal control of the creation and editing of articles (ie: deleting obvious errors, spam, and cases of vandalism) ~ Kalki 19:06, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I just recently arrived home and read your message. I can agree that most the articles do need work, some of them a great deal of it, but one of the things to bear in mind about WIkiquote is that though we are connected to the Wikipedia, the traffic here is presently miniscule in comparison, and though it is increasing, and probably will grow more rapidly as time goes by, the number of people who regularly do editing here is still very small— some of these notices could stay up for a very long time. I would prefer to make a few general notes in some introductory pages about the extremely incomplete or deficient nature of many (or even most pages), and provide general invitations to contribute, rather than adding individual notices to a vast number of pages (perhaps even the majority of them). In all cases it should be made clear to everyone, that if they perceive that some article they are interested in can be improved, they are invited to at least make attempts at doing what improving they can. When contentions do arise, as they sometimes will, about what might be the best arrangement or extent of some article or articles, they can be settled by dialog between those people most interested in some particular page or set of pages. I believe that this is a better and more versatile policy than attempting to develop any officially set styles to be used on certain types of pages. ~ Kalki 16:31, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Salutations!
Salve, RoboAction! Thanks for your message on my Wikipedia talk page. I indeed have quotations to contribute to Wikiquote--I've been keeping notebooks of them for several years and have about 3000 accumultated--but haven't got to it yet. I've several from Dawson's Creek--I wrote the article on Wikipedia]]--that I ought to start with. And it's funny your "may be interested in" link included Jean-Luc Goddard as I last week just wrote him a letter to confirm a quote Roger Ebert attributes to him, "Every cut is a lie", which didn't turn up in any of my sources. If I can help with any of your projects, please let me know. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 18:27, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
