Ninja Scroll

Ninja Scroll (original title: Jubei Ninpucho) is a Japanese action thriller anime set in feudal Japan by critically acclaimed director/writer Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Below is a list of quotes from the english version of the film.

Jubei

 * Oh, my best hat...

 * He's here for me. Stay here.

 * That's impossible. But maybe I can turn your skill to my advantage.

 * Burn in your golden HELL.

 * Gemma, where are you hiding? When I die, I'll take you to Hell with me.

 * If you so want the company of devils, you'd better hurry back to hell, Gemma.

Kagero

 * FOOL! My body is saturated with poison! It's so strong that even the touch of my lips will kill instantly. No one can touch me, anyone who dares to... Dies.

 * You've no idea... You couldn't possibly understand!

Utsutsu

 * I am Utsutsu Mujuro. I have longed to challenge you.

 * You lured me in here because I am blind. Is that your plan?

 * If you want to kill me you mustn't make any sound at all.

 * Your sight is a weakness!

Dakuan

 * Aha! So you beat me. I thought I would stop your mouth in Edo, but I don't think I'd get the chance, seeing as how you so love risking your life. Everything ends exactly as I have written it.''

 * To understand people's minds and control them is the secret of the ninja strategy. But only true sympathy can move the human heart. A pompous old ninja like me can't hope to do it.''

 * So did you make love to the ninja girl?

Zakura

 * (to Yurimaru after he turns down her advances) Oh, so what I've heard is true? Hmm. Have many pleasant dreams in Lord Gemma's arms...but Gemma makes love to both men and women. Did you know that he regularly has Benisato? ...Oh so you didn't. (Laughs wildly)

 * Yurimaru, it seems as though Benisato has been killed. Good for you.

 * (After killing Yurimaru and picking up his severed hand) It looks as though Yurimaru carelessly stepped into my trap, and unfortunate accident but his own fault.... Now he's the queen of the devils!

 * (After supposedly blowing up Jubei and Kagero) His body is blown to bits and grilled well done, such a succulent smell... of success!

Dialogue

 * Jubei: (While Tessai is raping Kagero)Do me a favour, you see I'm lost and I need to find the quickest way from here to Kikio, I'm really sorry to bother you but the highway was closed.
 * (Later on)

 * Jubei: (After Tessai viciously attacks him) Oh, hi. I know the way now, so leave me alone all right!
 * Tessai: Not quite the right direction. The way to hell is, right here!

 * Jubei: (to Kagero) Is it true then that you kill whichever man sleeps with you, by poisoning him?
 * Kagero: (in response) You'll know if you sleep with me.

Taglines

 * The legend of Jubei, the Shogun of the Dark and the 8 Devils of Kimon.
 * Amazing! Sexy! Mysterious! Ninjutsu Wars
 * The man who must fight to live! A woman who doesn't wish to live!
 * An invincible HERO has arrived!
 * Feudal Japan... a time of danger, intrigue & deception
 * The ultimate in sword-fighting movies

Talk:George E. P. Box

The importance of the purpose for which the model was intended
All this time, I thought this quote was an original from my graduate student advisor, David H. Gustafson. Both were at University of Wisconsin and no doubt, David heard it first from George.

The way David told it to me 30 years ago, it had extra significance. It went something like this:

"All models are wrong, and the value of any model is only to the extent to which it supports the purpose for which it was built."

The two keys lessons for me were: (1) don't look to any model for pure "truth and beauty" and (2) You are likely to go wrong if you try to make use a model for a purpose other than what it was designed. For example, if you try to use "ICD9" or "ICD10" as a model of classifying adverse drug reactions, rather than just for medical billing, you may be disappointed.

As documented in: Box, George E. P., J. American Statistical Assoc., Vol 74, Number 365, March 1979, "Some Problems of Statistics of Everyday Life"

An early quote of this idea was: "Models, of course, are never true, but fortunately it is only necessary that they be useful."

The quote "ALL MODELS ARE WRONG BUT SOME ARE USEFUL" is the title of a section of the paper Box, G.E.P. (1979) "Robustness in the strategy of scientific model building" in Robustness in Statistics (R.L. Launer and G.N. Wilkinson, Eds.), Academic Press.  But since this is the proceedings of a meeting that took place in April 11-12 1978  , this is likely to be the original quote.

Roots of the concept
After always hearing Box quoted in this way for so long, I became accustomed to thinking he must have said it a very long time ago with the assumption that those I've heard say it must have heard it themselves from him.

My primary source for the concept is Georg Rasch, who, like Box, was a student of Ronald Fisher's. Rasch spent a year in London at the Galton Laboratory over the 1934-5 academic year. Writing in 1959 and referring to the measurement model he developed that is now in wide use, Rasch says "It may be objected that this model cannot be true." He then explains:

"That the model is not true is certainly correct, no models are--not even the Newtonian laws. When you construct a model you leave out all the details which you, with the knowledge at your disposal, consider inessential--like in the pendulum model described in ch. I. Models should not be true, but it is important that they are applicable [this is italicized in the original], and whether they are applicable for any given purpose must of course be investigated. This also means that a model is never accepted finally, [but is] only on trial. In the case which we discuss, we may tentatively accept the model described, investigate how far our data agree with it, and perhaps find discrepancies which may lead us to certain revisions of the model" (Rasch, 1960, pp. 37-38).

Rasch makes similar comments in other places (for instance, Rasch, 1965, pp. 2, 3).

Perhaps both Box and Rasch learned the basic idea from Ronald Fisher?

Rasch, G. (1960). Probabilistic models for some intelligence and attainment tests (reprint, with Foreword and Afterword by B. D. Wright, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1980). Copenhagen, Denmark: Danmarks Paedogogiske Institut.

Rasch, G. (1965). An individual-centered approach to item analysis with two categories of answers. [Mimeograph copy of ms. Research in process will determine if the paper appears in S. H. Sternberg & others (Eds.), Mathematics and social sciences: Proceedings of the UNESCO and École Pratique des Hautes Études seminars of Menthon-Saint-Bernard, France (1-27 July 1960) and of Gosing, Austria (3-27 July 1961).

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 Pj. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pj~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 23:32, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander the Great

Ooops. Accidentally rolled back this article, then corrected it. ~ Kalki 22:45, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Father vs Teacher
"I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well". I have seen the above quote attributed to Alexander the Great, but cannot confirm it. Can someone else source it?

Dhul-Qarnayn
The following had recently been added to the Sourced quotes: * Dhu al-Qarnain is Alexander the Greek, the king of Persia and Greece, or the king of the east and the west, for because of this he was called Dhul-Qarnayn [meaning, 'the two-horned one']... ** As quoted in the Quran by Ibn Hisham Because this is not a quote by Alexander, it does not belong in the Sourced section. Nor can it be added, in a not yet existent About Alexander the Great section, as a quote about Alexander by Ibn Hisham since it does not mention the work in which the quote can be found. For this reason I have removed the quote from the article. - InvisibleSun 03:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

 * well sorry about my ignorant raping.

so, on wikiquote pages about persons we put only quotes by the same person?? and not everyone about and by that person?

i was used to editing wikiquote articles on inanimate objects like that>http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Macedonia so i thought we input both by and about the person =/

isn't there an article with summed up quotes about Alexander?

so if i want that quote to enter a wikiquote article, i'm supposed to make a wikiquote article on Ibn Hisham?? then i have to make a wikiquote article of Allah!!! this quote is in the Quran!!! muslims say Quran is the word of Allah! so Allah said that! if i say Ibn Hisham said it they will decapitate me and record it on camera for you!! xD

and you also say it's not sourced? it's in the Qur'an.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great_in_the_Qur%27an

do you deny Allah as a source?? Allah will decapitate you for that!! Allah Uaqbar!!! but seriously i'm not sure where it is in but i'm pretty sure it's in somewhere, since i found it in wikipedia which usually has sourced stuff.DefendEurope 05:36, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * On a Wikiquote page about a person we can have quotes by that person and quotes about that person (see, for example, Muhammad). In this case you could create a section on the Alexander the Great page which would look as follows:

About Alexander the Great

 * Dhu al-Qarnain is Alexander the Greek, the king of Persia and Greece, or the king of the east and the west, for because of this he was called Dhul-Qarnayn [meaning, 'the two-horned one']...
 * From the Qur'an, as found in a note by Ibn Hisham. Cf. Alexander the Great in the Qur'an.

 * This section would be located between the Unsourced quotes and the External Links. It would not be necessary to create a separate article for Ibn Hisham.

 * I had not taken this action myself because I had thought, based on the Wikipedia article you had linked to, that this was a quote by Ibn Hisham which was to be found in a source other than the Qur'an. But if the source is the Qur'an itself, then it could be added as shown above.  Is this what you had intended?  Based on the article Alexander the Great in the Qur'an, I had gotten the impression that although Dhul-Qarnayn was mentioned in the Qur'an, the actual name of Alexander was not; and that the quote itself was in fact from Ibn Hisham's notes on the Sira of Ibn Ishaq. If this is the case, then the source of the quote is from these notes, by whatever name they are known, and not from the Qur'an itself. So you see now why I am a little confused about this. - InvisibleSun 05:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

but it's pretty clear: it's a quote by Ibn Ishaq found in the works of Ibn Hisham. You choose where it goes as i've valiantly proven myself to be a Noob. -DefendEurope 15:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * oh. thanx for the update. the quote is actually in the "biography of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq" (arab muslim historian) as written by Ibn Hisham. Ibn Hisam was the re-editor of the biography of Muhammad written by Ibn Ishaq. Ibn Ishaq's work is lost and his work is now only known in the recensions of Ibn Hisham and al-Tabari. too many Ibn's confuse me too. =/

Xenosaga

The following are quotes from the Xenosaga series of videogames.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht

 * "Behold the light that spreads before your eyes. This light once symbolized civilization – the very will of the human race. But what can be gleaned from the light we see today? The people of this world have cast away their will to create, drowning themselves instead in an endless cycle of consumption… What you see now is the deceitful light cast by their stagnant eyes. The people you've encountered in your lifetime are not people at all. They're less than human – mere sacks of flesh and bone. Only upon the realization of self-will, can a person truly be called a man… You chose to reject the false light, refused to succumb to their lies… That's why you never faltered, even after all the personality reconditioning. Long ago, man was forced to leave behind his homeland… This was brought about by the masses who extinguished the very light that drove their will. So how about it, Cherenkov? Let us rekindle the torch so that human consciousness may once again be resurrected… For our sake…and that of our god…"—Margulis

 * "Failure to comply will result in the destruction of this window."—KOS-MOS

 * "One more strike and this window will shatter. It appears that none of you are wearing space suits. Keep in mind that I am making this proposal out of good will. I could just as easily toss you all out and take over the ship."-KOS-MOS to the crew of the Elsa, after cracking one of their forward windows with a punch.

 * "Hey look! It's a girl!... She might be cute y'know. He he."- Hammer "'He he' my ass ya sicko! Who the hell cares how she looks- she's DEAD!"- Captain Matthews, on seeing KOS-MOS drifting through space.

 * "Shelley, give 'em a little nudge!"—Jr.

 * "At that time, Lt. Virgil was in my direct line of fire."—KOS-MOS Context: KOS-MOS has just shot Lieutenant Virgil, who had helped them fight their way to the escape pods.

 * "Entertain me if you will!"—Albedo

 * "What you lack is reality, and that is what I shall provide you with!"—Albedo, as he tears off his own arm.

 * "Don't tremble ma pêche, or else you will make me feel like a péché myself"—Albedo

 * "Boo!"—Albedo, after instantly growing a new arm.

 * "Frailty, thy name is woman. No, that's not right. You little Realians weren't even born from a woman's womb."—Albedo.

 * "Such beauty they hold, these tears of sorrow. But are you worthy to shed such tears? The act of mourning the dead belongs to the realm of humans. The human race, fearful in its weakness, built this world in a futile attempt to elude the abyss they call mortality. Culture…civilization…all delusions created by a powerless race, and of little use, like a barren woman. But amidst all this, you continue to exist as an unfettered soul, free from the shackles of flesh and blood… A completely pure consciousness… An eternal spiral, undefiled by impurities… a fusion of fire, breath, and spirit… What can we call you…but angels? New, unadulterated psyches… But what you lack is reality. And that is what I shall provide you with…!"-Albedo

 * "Do you know what he said while he coughed up his lifeblood? "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone." Wheat, eh? There's enough of it, we can afford to waste as much as we want. Like my head, you see?"-Albedo, referring to a saying made by Jesus (John 12:24).

 * "Daddy...it was always you he looked at. The rest...of us. We all...wished we could be...you." - Kirschwasser

 * "Why do you hurt people? My sisters...they all loved something they saw in you. And even after all that you put them through, they still believed in you...how...how could you desecrate their feelings?! Their hearts!" -MOMO "Desecrate? Your sisters? Look around you! Who's the flower that blooms from those corpses? That's right, it's you peche. Everything's just as Mizrahi, your dear daddy, wanted them to be!" Albedo "Daddy?" MOMO "That's right. Isn't it Rubedo?" Albedo

 * "MOMO! Hurry and get in!" Shion, when the ship headed to the Durandal is about to leave, MOMO stays behind to tend to the injured.

 * "What's one-and-a-half billion people to us?"—Margulis, after the destruction of Ariadne.

 * "It's inevitable. There will always be vermin. I'll leave their extermination to you."—Margulis

 * "Me, tried in a court of ignoble commoners? Don't make me laugh!"—Margulis, on being tried for crimes against humanity.

 * "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Now die!"—Albedo.

 * "We are the ones who determine life or death!"—Margulis

 * "Thanks, I'll pass. I don't share your perverse taste in hobbies."—Margulis, when asked by Albedo whether he would come himself to use the Song of Nephilim.

 * "Free from the bonds of flesh. A pure consciousness has no true form. All that exists is the longing for reality"-Albedo

 * "Mirror mirror on the wall, show me, define me"-Young Albedo, as witnessed in a flashback by Jr. while in the Enchephalon

 * "Shion... I like it here. I'm the only living thing that exists in this place, there's nothing else. No anger, no sadness, no happiness, not even a future... The only thing that's here... is me. And that will eventually fade away. It feels good. This is exactly what I've been searching for all this time. Shion... you'll eventually find yourself here too... I'm sure of it... it won't be much longer. . I know, I can tell."-Cherenkov

 * "I am the infinite telomerase! I am not an anti-existence! I am the perfect chain!"-Young Albedo

 * "Shion... will feeling pain... make me... complete?"-KOS-MOS

 * "I can't believe I just handed over top-secret company info to the Federation without permission... I am SO fired..."-Shion

 * "Don't be so surprised; this is the power of will, a fundamental power that exists within everyone. What you are witnessing is simply your perception of it. And you know what? Perception and pain are but one and the same. So... go ahead... Feel my pain for yourself!"-Albedo

 * "I'm a cyborg, I registered as an organ donor without giving it much thought." - Ziggy

 * "Why not help her? Sounds like she means it." - chaos

 * "I believe everyone has at least one skill that they excel in over all others. Its something that defines who they are. Shion. What is it that defines you?" - chaos, when asked how he was able to defeat the Gnosis with just his hands

Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse

 * Canaan: "I appreciate the offer, but you may want to reconsider. A regular human can't ride in that thing." chaos: "Right. That's why I'm here. Don't worry."

 * chaos: "The red horse carries war, and the black horse, famine. Upon those tiny backs, bear their great calamity." Canaan: "What did you say, chaos? I didn't read that." chaos: "It's nothing. Let's go rescue them."

 * "Death is rest for the soul. Who was it who said that? If the body did not die, and the fears borne in the mind just continued to pile up, the world would be nothing more than an eternal prison."—Ziggy

 * "The country of the hills of Mud, the land of Mu, was sacrificed. Being twice upheaved, it suddenly disappeared in one night. At last the surface gave way… and they sank, along with their countries."—chaos
 * From the legend of Mu. chaos refers to this legend as a fairy tale about a land that vanished into the sea one night, long ago. He is relating this story to Old Miltia.

 * "You've always been two-faced you know, offering life in one hand and delivering death in the other."—Albedo, to Nigredo

 * "Oh, so now it's peace talks, eh? Didn't McCartney say that, too? 'Ebony and ivory lived together in perfect harmony.' "—Albedo, to Nigredo

 * "U.R.T.V. A failed product of a twisted age. A lower lifeform such as you could never understand our ideals!"—the Patriarch

 * "Hey, Rubedo. Don't forget to breathe deep and inhale the particles that composed me."—Albedo

 * "The Zohar does not exist for your sake."—Red Testament, to the Patriarch

 * "VOOOYAAAGGEER!!."—Ziggy (Xenosaga), to the Black Testament

 * "We'd appreciate it if the supporting actors would just stick to their roles."—Blue Testament, speaking about the Patriarch

 * "Exit the stage. Your act is over."—Blue Testament, to the Patriarch

 * "No! I am all power…"—the Patriarch, before Testament kills him

 * "I'm making graves for Rubedo and Nigredo. It's just for pretend, though. I'm practicing so that when they die, I won't cry. If I link with U-DO again, I wonder if he'll kill me… I hope he will. He is our leader, after all." Jr.: "I… I wouldn't do anything like that!" Albedo: "Of course you would! That's how you're built. Because we're the anti-existence of U-DO. Do you know what the link is like? It's as sweet and seductive as a deal with the devil."—Albedo

 * "I don't like you! You're bothering Rubedo, the way you try and flirt with him! Say something, you mannequin!" Young Albedo

 * Jr.:"What are you doing? Stop it!"

 * "I hate you! I hate you!" Albedo, hitting an unconscious Sakura on the ground.

 * Jr.: "I said stop it!"

 * "What? Why are you stopping me? You are so annoying, it's not like you have any real power. All you can do is butter people up, I hated this girl! She was always flirting with you! I'm glad she's dead, I am. Now there's no one trying to seduce you!" Young Albedo "Oh right, there's still that imitation. You're such a pitiful man, Rubedo. To think you have to satisfy yourself with this toy! Is this rag doll important to you? It's too late, she's already been damaged, by my own hand. I enjoyed every minute of it too. You should give it a try, Rubedo. I'm sure if it were you...she'd be happy to..."

 * "As my duty as an immortal, I've prepared a brand-new world view for mankind. When I temporarily linked with U-DO, I climbed the ladder of evolution, and saw the leaning tower of culture that humans have struggled to construct. It's not even a tower, really, it's a scaffold of rotting wood, built with meager knowledge and pitiful tools. But a nice guy would tell them the truth, would he not? 'Hello! You've got it all wrong!"—Albedo

 * "Happy days are here, they'll name a holiday after me! That is, assuming they even have the concept of holidays on the other side!"—Albedo

 * Jr.: "Stop it! This is not what you were born to do!" Albedo: Au contraire. This is the very moment I've been waiting for! Come, Rubedo. Come to my world! Let's have some fun!" Albedo absorbs the power of the Zohar and unleashes U-DO. KOS-MOS: "U-DO…"

 * "For all we know humans are just weapons created by the world."—Albedo

 * "We're not foolish because we're tools, it's because we're men"—Albedo
 * A dialogue between Nephilim and chaos after Albedo's "death".
 * Nephilim: "Finally. He'll be able to find peace." chaos: "Yes. But… This is not the end." Nephilim: "No. This is just the beginning. A tiny ripple has just been born in the world that surrounds them. One day, that ripple will grow into a large wave, and it will swallow even them." chaos: "Yes. And that's why I want him to rest. Even if his rest is but a short one."

 * Wilhelm: "It's been a long time… Yeshua. I'm pleased that you've come. But… didn't you say you weren't going to intervene?" chaos: "I've made up my mind. I won't hold back anymore." Wilhelm: "That's wonderful. I'm thrilled that you'll finally be entering the stage."

 * Wilhelm: "I see. So this is the Y-Data. But there's a great deal missing." Blue Testament: "But both he and the U-TIC Organization have completely poured through the Realian's main database." Red Testament: "He only went so far as the subconscious." Wilhelm: "Below even that, in the lowest level of the unconscious domain… Are you saying the answer lies in the Unus Mundus?" Red Testament: "Most likely." Wilhelm: "Really? Well, I suppose we'll leave it at that for now. When the path to Lost Jerusalem is opened, KOS-MOS will awaken." Blue Testament: "So, what will you do with him?" Wilhelm: "I said it was a shame, didn't I?" White Testament appears. Blue Testament: "There you have it. Good news, huh? Partner." Wilhelm: "Welcome… weaver of the eternal circle of Zarathustra." This marked the end of the game.

Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra

 * Wilhelm: "That is one phrase that defines me, however words give people many forms. Vector's CEO, Head of Hyams, Ormus Patriarch, Chairman of the Federation General Assembly. They each define me, yet none of them are me."

 * T-elos: "I’m here for the thirteenth key. The time of awakening has arrived."

 * KOS-MOS: "Shion, right now I am Mary and at the same time I am not Mary. Wasn’t it you who said that the heart changes from one moment to the next?"

 * KOS-MOS: "I am not Mary. I am... KOS-MOS!!"

 * KOS-MOS: "This is, checkmate."

 * Jin Uzuki: Final Words, "It's quiet now. I don't think it's ever been this quiet before in my whole life. This is what I sought. And yet, now that the time has finally come, I long for the noise of the past. I long for those hectic and chaotic days that once were. But this too, is pleasant, in an odd sort of way."

 * Margulis: "Even a fool has his pride."

 * Margulis: "As a warrior, and as a man, I will leave my mark upon the world!"

 * Jin Uzuki: "Of course in reality I'm terrified. But in my heart this is what I must do."

 * chaos: "The future isn't set in stone, with the power of your wills you can shape your future."

 * Dimitri Yuriev: "In ancient times, people were together with God. People loved God, revered and even feared God. Out of fear out the undying God, they sought divine power. This was a way for the ancients to resist Him. Eventually they sought the ability to become gods themselves."

 * Dimitri Yuriev: "As long as I have the Zohar and Abel, my power shall NEVER fade!"

 * Dimitri Yuriev: "Fear drives evolution! Human beings have used their intelligence to conquer their fears and to obtain power. Oh yes, this is that power. I will teach you…the same fear that Albedo and I received!"

 * Doctus: "Errare humanum est." (To make mistakes is human)

 * Doctus: "Usus magister est optimus." (Practice is the best teacher)

 * Miyuki: "All right, already! Oh, why's everyone picking on me?"

 * Canaan: "It's Canaan! You seem to have a defect in your memory." (To Doctus)

 * Shion:"Jin…Now I think I understand what Wilhelm wanted to do, just a little bit better. His methods may have been wrong, but now, I think I understand the logic behind his reasons. Living the same life, over and over again, but living those lives without any regrets is what really matters. That is probably what the ideal vision of being human is all about. However, we humans are really not that strong. And we know that we can’t live like that. We’re creatures that are much more flawed, weak, and smaller than that. We hurt others, we lie to ourselves, we hate, we blame others, we regret, but even if we are weak, and even if is our fate to disappear entirely I think the will to change the future is still an important one. We must try to change the things around us, little by little. Even if it is one step at a time, and even if everything is already predetermined, it isn’t something for us to be sad about. No, on the contrary, the future is overflowing with hope. And we have infinite paths to choose from. Isn’t that right? chaos? KOS-MOS?" (Ending Monologue)

 * Wilhelm: Final Words, "Is that your answer? That does sound like you..., Yeshua."

 * Kevin Winnicot: Final Words, "The world is waiting for you."

I thought it was nicer to add an image, but I couldn't format it well. (and lock with white background seems not good). Any improvement will be welcome.--Aphaia 00:56, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * How's this?:

 This page is protected. It currently cannot be edited. Comments can be left on the discussion page. —JarlaxleArtemis 03:54, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your effort. Hmm, on my environment, the text is split into two and two lines are very far apart. Shortly there could be something improved yet. Anyway I add "Protected by:" to the template, mainly in purpose of notice when it could be unprotected (now I think after 24 hours from the protection according to MoshaDeska' idea. ). But is it better to say "Protected at:" (hours). Any opinion? --Aphaia 21:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

For some reason, the lock image is now only 1 pixel, and it has not been edited at all nor re-uploaded. —Jeremy Hanson 27 June 2005 23:06 (UTC)

Changes..
I tweaked this so it looked a bit nicer.. If anyone objects feel free to RV me.. I didn't believe it would be controversial so I was bold ;-) MatthewFenton 17:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Strangers with Candy

Strangers with Candy (1999-2000) was an American comedy television series that aired thirty episodes (in three seasons of ten episodes each) on Comedy Central. The show was a parody of the afterschool special phenomena of the 1970s and 1980s. The series' main character, Jerri Blank (played by Amy Sedaris), was a runaway returning to high school as a freshman at the age of 46.

Opening Credits

 * Jerri Blank: Hello, I'm Jerri Blank. Thirty-two years ago I dropped out of high school and ran away from home. Oh, I made a lot of friends... did a lot of time. I was a boozer, a user and a loser. I stoled a TV... Did some more time. But now I'm back in school! And though the faces may have changed, the hassles are just the same.

Old Habits, New Beginnings [1.1]

 * Jerri: Hello. I'm Jerri Blank, and I'm a forty-six year-old high school freshman.  For thirty-two years I was a teenage runaway.  I was a boozer, a user and a loser.  My friends were dealers, cons and eighteen-karat pimps.  But now, I'm out of jail, picking up my life exactly where I left off.  I'm back in high school, living at home and discovering all sorts of things about my body.  I'm finding out that though the faces have changed, the hassles are just the same.

 * Poppy Downes: And meanwhile, our brothers from the east were eating bowls of rice safely nestled in their internment camps.
 * Chuck Noblet: Excellent report, Poppy. It's important that we never forget the atrocities the Japanese committed against our boys.

 * Jerri: [standing in front of the class] History has taught us many things.  For example: I can't smoke one stick of pot or take one needle of coke.  One night – I'll make this quick – one night, I was thrown by a horse and I had to have a laminectomy...
 * Noblet: Thank you, Jerri.
 * Jerri: ...now you all know the size of a king-size sheet, right? Well, you try scrambling down that in the dark after a boot of skag or a snort of horse...
 * Noblet: Really, Jerri, that's fine. What was your report on again?
 * Jerri: Brazil.

 * Jerri: If I don’t graduate by the time I'm 50, I'll be the laughingstock of Flatpoint High!

 * Noblet: Jerri, let me give you a little advice: No one makes friends with a failure. Okay? Understand? Now you run along and have fun. Bye-bye.  Lock the door.

 * Jerri: Who wants to go to a cockfight?! I'll drive!

 * Poppy Downes: I’m like fine.

 * Jerri: Stoney and I would go over to Buckle's and Puff would turn us on to a hot load of mescaline crumbled into a tumbler of ether with a float of Percocet jimmies. I’d wake up with blood on my ass, and then we'd get high. Those were some good times!

 * Sara Blank: Poppy Downes is in a coma? What a shame.  You know, if she doesn't pull through, I’ll have the Widows' League send over some casseroles.  They need comfort food.

 * Jerri: [repeated line] I got something to say!

A Burden's Burden [1.2]

 * Jerri: But I've had plenty of babies! Just none I've carried to full term.

 * Geoffrey Jellineck: It doesn't matter when you get here - just what time.

 * Orlando Pinatubo: Mr. Jellineck!  I can't form the pot!
 * Jellineck: Easy there.  OK, look... Grasp the pot like you would a mischievous child's neck.  Go on, dig your thumbs in there like you're gouging out the eyes of an enemy.

 * Jerri: Is that how they say 'hi' in Whoreville?

 * Jerri: Pee on me.

 * Jerri: It was a lot easier being a single mother when I was neither single, nor the mother.

Dreams on the Rocks [1.3]

 * Jerri: I cried when I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. And then I laughed... really hard.

 * [On Sara's alcoholism.]
 * Jerri: I'm dealing with this the same way I dealt with my own alcoholism and drug addiction: With lies and delusion.

 * [Jerri attempts to extinguish a fire with the contents of Sara's mug, but instead ends up fueling the flames.]
 * Jerri: What was in that?!
 * Sara: Breakfast!
 * Jerri: Well, what kind of breakfast was that?
 * Sara: A cup of rum cake... We just ran out of flour.

 * Craig: You need to face the fact that your mother is an alcoholic. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't love you.
 * Jerri: No, I've heard her say plenty of times that she doesn't love me.
 * Craig: She was probably drunk.
 * Jerri: No, I'm pretty sure she was sober.

 * Noblet: Following his violent revolution, Gandhi was devoured by his followers.

 * Sara: [to Noblet] Hoo hoo! "Chuck"! You know what that rhymes with...

 * Sara: But I'm not an alcoholic!  I can stop whenever I want!  What, you don't believe me?  Well, if you're such a good listener, why don’t you watch this?  Say goodbye to my mixers!

Who Wants Cake [1.4]

 * Jerri: Packing a Musket, by Jerri Blank. When you work from your home and johns call on the phone, you're a call girl.  When you walk till you're limp and give a cut to a pimp, you're a street whore.  When they're begging ya "please," to get down on your knees, near their groinage, 'scusa me, but ya see, don't ya touch where they pee, without coinage.
 * Noblet: Thank you, Jerri, that'll be...
 * Jerri: When I straddle and squat, to show you my... [bell rings, drowning Jerri's voice out]

 * Noblet: All right, everybody. For tomorrow, I want you to write a history poem on Hiroshima. But nothing too [writing on blackboard] faggy.

 * Noblet: Oh, and remember I need the permission slips for this week's trip to Good Time Island.
 * Student: Where's your permission slip?
 * Noblet: SHUT YOUR DIRTY LITTLE MOUTH.

 * Wilford Brimley: [on tape] Hi. This is Wilford Brimley.  Welcome to Retardation:  A Celebration.  Now, hopefully with this book, I'm gonna dispel a few myths, a few rumors.  First off, the retarded don't rule the night. They don't rule it. Nobody does. And they don't run in packs. And while they may not be as strong as apes, don't lock eyes with 'em, don't do it. Puts 'em on edge. They might go into berzerker mode; come at you like a whirling dervish, all fists and elbows. You might be screaming "No, no, no" and all they hear is "Who wants cake?" Let me tell you something:  They all do.  They all want cake.

 * Jerri: Mr. Noblet wants me to snitch on a friend.
 * Jellineck: Snitching doesn’t seem like you, Jerri.
 * Jerri: Oh, it’s not what you think. It’s not like snitching on a real person. She's--
 * Jellineck: Gay?
 * Jerri: Retarded.
 * Jellineck: Yes, most of them are.
 * Jerri: Most who are what?
 * Jellineck: Most gay people are retarded.
 * Jerri: Does that mean Kimberly Timbers is gay?
 * Jellineck: I don’t know. Hey! Make a pass at her and find out. She'd have to be retarded to turn you down.

 * Sara: What I'd like to know is, why are there retarded people in school with my daughter?
 * Principal Onyx Blackman: Mrs. Blank, we're doing our best to weed them out, but some of these retards are extremely clever.

 * Jerri: I've changed. People change. Changes... I'm not the same Jerri Blank who informed on those blind orphans. I'm not the same Jerri Blank who revealed the hiding place of those Guatemalans... such as yourself. And I'm not the same Jerri Blank who took a crap in the Fleishmanns' holly bushes... last night.

Bogie Nights [1.5]

 * Noblet: Before we leave, that is Ricky, he's a new student here at Flatpoint... Now, I want you to treat Ricky like you would any other student you know nothing about and who evidently feels he can walk into my classroom in the middle of the semester and expect me to change my lesson plan.

 * Blackman: Talk your monkey ass off.

 * Jerri: Florida: Beautiful weather. Harsh penal system...

 * Jellineck: If wishes and buts were clusters of nuts, we'd all have a bowl of granola!

 * Jerri: I did things I wouldn't force on a mule, and that includes things I forced on a mule.

 * Jerri: Befriending new people can lead to having sex with your children, accidentally.

 * Ricky: You gave me away?
 * Jerri: No, no, never! I traded you for a guitar. And all these years I've wondered, what happened to that guitar?

Let Freedom Ring [1.6]

 * Noblet: (After a portion of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech) A moving vision of the future. King's dream was for an America without racism of any kind. The tragedy, of course, is that all this footage is in black and white. Imagine how powerful it would have been in color.

 * Jerri: I like the pole and the hole, and right now I'm as moist as a snack cake down there. So, why don't you come over to my crib after school, and I'll make your pinky aaaall stinky.

 * Jerri: How's it goin', Susie? Nice camel-toe.

 * Jerri: I do like black people! It just took a white one to prove it to me.

 * Jerri: It's not that I don't like black people...it's that I don't like black people.

 * Jellineck: But please, no mylar balloons. They never deflate and I just don't have the heart to throw them away.

Feather in the Storm [1.7]

 * Noblet: You can't unfry things, Jerri.

 * Jellineck: Your daughter has a disease we call... anorexia.
 * Sara: Is that contagious?
 * Jellineck: Yes. It often sweeps through third world countries that are stricken by drought.

 * Jellineck: [to Stew] Simmer down... Stew. Obviously you have a beef, Stew, but please don't stir things up.

 * Jellineck: Let him talk!
 * Stew: Him who?
 * Jellineck: Him me!

 * Jellineck: I've gotta run but as soon as you're ready to talk about your family problems with an art teacher you can call me.

 * [The class is making models of themselves using clay. Jerri's is cartoonishly fat and bulging.]
 * Jellineck: Jerri, is this how you imagine yourself?
 * Jerri: No, I ran out of clay.

To Be Young, Gifted and Blank [1.8]

 * Noblet: [seeing Jerri's scarred hands] Arghh! My hands!
 * Jerri: But they're mine!
 * Noblet: What's the difference?

 * Noblet: Jerri, you did better than good... you did gooder.

 * Jerri: Is this not what you don't want me not to do?

Jerri is Only Skin Deep [1.9]

 * Jerri: You know, high school is a lot like the slammer. The food sucks, they tell you where to go and how to do it. And if someone tries to make you their bitch, you just stick them with a shiv in the showers.

 * [Jerri doesn't think she's pretty enough to be homecoming queen.]
 * Orlando: In my country you'd be a real queen.
 * Jerri: Yeah, well that's 'cause your country's run by monkeys.

 * Noblet: [reading aloud from a note confiscated from Jerri] "My vagina is on fire. I'm trying not to scratch it, Orlando, I'm afraid it will get infected. P.S. I just know I'm going to win homecoming queen. That will show those sons of bitches, especially Noblet, that homo-" Jerri, see me after class.

 * Noblet: Jerri, I know you want to be homecoming queen. We all want to be homecoming queen.

The Trip Back [1.10]

 * [Sara is holding a Mad Mothers Against Drugs meeting.]
 * Sara: You can't help a drug addict until they've hit rock bottom. And sometimes it's important to help the process along. You dig a hole in the yard and cover it with sticks and leaves, put glass in their slippers...
 * Woman: Cut the brake cable in their car...
 * Sara: Exactly. Cut the brake cable in their car. The point is to help them hurt themselves.

 * Noblet: In answer to the question, what was the Magna Carta, you wrote "Planet Zoot." And in response to the query, what was the capital of France during the Nazi occupation, you traced your hand.
 * Jerri: Oh yeah, I drew a beak on my thumb there. Oh! It’s a turkey! It must've been the holidays.
 * Noblet: It was yesterday, Jerri.

 * Jellineck: Look, all I'm saying is if you still wanna smoke pot then be prepared to spend a lot of time laughing with your friends.

 * [Jerri is standing in front of a water fountain, but Trish wants a drink.]
 * Trish: Do you mind? I'm kinda dry.
 * Jerri: Well I'm pretty wet.
 * [Jerri laughs at her own joke, but then puts a serious look on her face.]
 * Jerri: Seriously.

Yes, You Can't [2.1]

 * Dr. Williams: Let me welcome you to the kickoff of Flatpoint’s Career Week! I’m Dr. Rachel Williams, supermodel, and I’m here to talk to you about making your dreams a reality.  When I was a student at Flatpoint, I was confused until a modeling agent told me what my dreams were.  And so can you!  Just ask yourself, what do you want to do?

 * Student 1: I want to be a fireman.

 * Student 2: I want to be an arsonist.

 * Student 3: I want to be a gangsta with a crew, and knee deep in bitches.

 * Jerri: I’d like to root in her cellar.  Mmmpphh!

 * Dr. Williams: Now, are there any questions I have the ability to answer?

 * [Everyone in the audience raises their hands.]

 * Dr. Williams: Thank you.

 * Dr. Iris Puffybush: Dreams are a great thing, but you know something? They take a lot of energy. But that's OK. There's a job waiting for you down the block from your house that doesn't require a thought in your head or a hope in your heart. So come on down and work for the artificial flower factory. Why fight it? OK? Thank you.

 * Jerri: I'm confused. Dreams....What are mine?
 * Noblet: I don’t know, Jerri. It's your future. What do you want to do in the future?
 * Jerri: Go to my locker.
 * Noblet: I mean way down the line, Jerri. I want you to think far into the future. What are you going to do?
 * Jerri: Open it.

 * Jellineck: My whole teaching career is a farce, wrapped in a masquerade, smothered in a facade frosting.

 * Jellineck: I was a complete zero, Jerri.
 * Jerri: And now?
 * Jellineck: Well, and now you can multiply that zero by a hundred!
 * Jerri: Wow, that must be a lot.

 * Noblet: Why are you pushing me away?
 * Jellineck: I'm not pushing you away. I'm pulling me towards myself.

 * Jerri: That's it, Orlando, that's what I want to be! A robot!

 * Jerri: Cancer. That's hilarious.

 * Jerri: It must be nice to hope for the thing you wish to want. Sure beats doing it!

 * Jerri: I'm floating down a hallway
 * Jerri: and i'm naked
 * Jerri: and its me but its not really me because i'm watching me walk naked
 * Jerri: and then suddenly i'm falling off a cliff
 * Jerri: and before i hit the bottom, i wake up

Behind Blank Eyes [2.2]

 * Derrick: Let's go watch some gay porn so we can get our hate back.

 * Sara: This has nothing to do with you, Alan. We just need to talk about you someplace where you can't hear us.

 * [Principal Blackman leads the team in prayer before the big game.]
 * Blackman: Dear Lord, thank you for giving this game your undivided attention. We'll try to be brief so you can return your energies to the movement of the stars and the condemnation of the Jews. Please hand us an easy victory. I'm not saying that if we lose we'll turn away. But do you really want to take that risk? And finally, just as you cured the blind, thank you for curing this team of the blind. Oh, and, uh, forgive me for that thing I did with the thing. Amen.

 * Jerri: I hope you're all happy, keeping Alan off the team. Couldn't you, for once, open your minds and hearts and hear something that he couldn't see? I, for one, am glad that Alan is blind, so he can't see what, I am so sad to say, you can't hear.

The Virgin Jerri [2.3]

 * Blackman: You must be about as worn out as a hooker on VJ Day.

 * Jerri: Drake! Why did you spread those vicious lies?
 * Drake Rogers: 'Cause you didn't spread those vicious thighs.

 * Tammi: I've got something that boys want and they can't have it.
 * Jerri: Really? How about girls?
 * Tammi: What?
 * Jerri: Nothing. Just testing the waters.

 * Jerri: The ways of love are a mystery to me. The feeling of man’s pelvis pounding against your haunches as you lie bent over a beer-soaked pool table grasping for leverage.  And the endless jackhammer action turns you into a quivering mound of oozing pleasure.

 * Tammi: Are you thinking about having sex already?
 * Jerri: Does a pimp carry a razor?
 * Tammi: I don't know!
 * Jerri: Trust me, they all do.

The Goodbye Guy [2.4]

 * Jerri: Boy am I thirsty.  I'm gonna go get a hot dog.

 * Jerri: [to hot dog vendor] Drown it in salt, and don't skimp on the bacon bits. [pause] Today.

 * Tammi: I don't mean to seem insensitive, but wasn't your father torn to shreds by wild dogs?

 * Jerri: [on her father's death] Maybe I am in denial... unless of course, he's alive!

 * Sara: I do appreciate your lovely sentiments, Mr. Blackman, but I should tell you that Guy’s last wish was that "no darkies" attend his wake.

 * Jellineck: I was just pawing at your dead father a moment ago and it really helped.
 * Jerri: You know, I think I saw him today. He was waiting for a bus and I screamed, "Daddy! Daddy! You're not dead!" But I think he had to go somewhere, because he ran away really fast.

 * Cassie Pines: Naturally, as student counselor my first responsibility is to the teachers.

 * Cassie Pines: Just because your dad was killed in some freak accident nobody can have one!? Well, I'll tell you something. My daddy's alive and yours is dead and ain't nothing gonna change that!

 * Blackman: [upon walking into the cafeteria] Good Lord! Is this where they eat?! Tell me this is some kind of holding cell for miscreants.

Hit and Run [2.5]

 * Blackman: Noblet... why are you crying? It's only a melon. Just a lonely melon... no other melons around, not a patch in sight. What's it doing out here? And why is it carrying a picnic basket with two of everything: two portobella mushroom sandwiches, two macaroons... Who would abandon a faceless melon? Can you imagine how that melon must've felt, Noblet? Can you imagine?

 * Blackman: If one of my teachers loses his face, I lose face!

 * Blackman: [excusing himself from Jellineck's bedside in the hospital] I've got to go see a student in the maternity ward.

 * Noblet: [weeping wretchedly] Those lips! Oh, those pillowy lips!

 * Blackman: Don't make me put my rings on!

 * Blackman: Block the door with your budding femininity!

 * Blackman: [to students visiting Jellineck] Do not cry out in terror if you gaze upon the grossly misshapen mass that was once his head. Act natural. No matter how strongly your monkey reflexes might kick in telling you to flee in terror. Now, I'll go see if he's ready. [Blackman goes into Jellineck's ward] Sweet Jesus, protect me!

The Blank Page [2.6]

 * Noblet: All right, anyone who doesn't not want to avoid passing the midterm exam, raise your hand now. [Pause. Several hands go up hesitantly.] Okay. Those of you who raised your hands will fail, as you requested.

 * Jerri: Maybe it's time to stop not doing what you pretended you can do and can't, and start doing the thing that you can't do, but can no longer pretend that you can.

 * Blackman: I'm an obtuse man, so I'll try to be oblique. Your illiteracy has made me the whipping boy of this school district. I attended the school board meeting this morning, and they all had their little laugh. It was a feeding frenzy of cackling hyenas, and I was the wildebeest carcass.

To Love, Honor and Pretend [2.7]

 * Jerri: [to her pretend husband] You don't wanna beat me or screw me!? What kind of marriage is this?  Bring a book.

 * Jellineck: GODDAMMIT! You're picking at my brain like a jackal!

 * Jerri: What's it like being a whore? Wait a minute, I know that one.

The Blank Stare: Part 1 [2.8]

 * Jerri: Hello, ladies, what are you doing?
 * Popular girl: We were just wondering why you'd come talk to us.
 * Jerri: I want to know what plans you have for Fri-Sat-Sund.
 * Popular girl: Well, first we're going to avoid you. Then after that we thought we'd shun you and then we're going to a party. Hey! Why don't you not come with us!

 * Sara: Oh Jerri, I didn't know you were coming home this early. We would've left sooner.
 * Jerri: Where are we going?
 * Sara: Well, if by "we" you mean Derrick and I, the answer is a family getaway to Good Time Island!
 * Jerri: [excited] Good Time Island?!
 * Sara: Oh, did I remember not to tell you?
 * Derrick: Check it out, troll--An all-access pass with full release!
 * Jerri: I'll go pack my things!
 * Sara: Oh, I'm sorry, Jerri, you know the car only has room for four and we already have two. Oh and if you get hungry later, um, eat something.

 * [Jerri is puzzling over what to do next.]
 * Jerri: I know! I'll feed my baby... Oh, that's right. My baby's an imaginary creation to fight the ravages of loneliness.

 * Rebecca: My name's Rebecca. What's yours, Jerri?
 * Jerri: Jerri. What's yours, Rebecca?
 * Rebecca: Rebecca.

 * Jerri: What kind of place is this?
 * Rebecca: Oh, it's just a collective cooperative community service operation outreach program project.
 * Jerri: Okay, as long as you’re not a cult.

 * Jerri: So where are we? I must've fallen asleep after you slipped me those pills and put on that blindfold.

 * Jerri: Maybe I should head home.
 * Rebecca: Home to what, Jerri? A family that doesn't care and friends who don't love you?
 * Jerri: Well, technically, it's my friends who don't care and my family that doesn't love me.

 * Jerri: I wanna go home!
 * Father: Fine. You're not a prisoner here. There are no bars on our electrified fences. We don't have attack dogs in our alligator-infested swamps surrounding this compound.

The Blank Stare: Part 2 [2.9]

 * [Noblet attempts to infiltrate the cult to gain information on where Jerri is.]
 * Noblet: [casually] So, what are you selling here?
 * Cult member: Flowers. Do you need someone to love you?
 * Noblet: [breaking down instantly] Oh God, yes, desperately! I'm so lonely!
 * Cult member: Would you like to come with us?
 * Noblet: I'll go anywhere you want and do anything you say! Just love me. Oh, I should tell you, I'm a plant.  They're watching us. [points to where Blackman, Jellineck and Orlando are hiding] We're looking for Jerri.  I'm her teacher and that's her principal - they don't know anything about love.
 * Cult member: I don't think you can come with us.
 * Noblet: What? No! Please! I need you!
 * Blackman: [yelling] Noblet! What are you doing?!
 * Noblet: I'm sorry. I just wasn't prepared for that kind of onslaught.

 * Blackman: In order to enhance your individuality to conformity, I'm instituting a dress code based on your own requests that I imagine you would have requested had I asked for your requests.

 * Jerri: I poisoned all the grain and the water. We'll be ready to kill ourselves when the devil's henchmen come on the day of judgement.
 * Father: But that's the only food we have! What are we supposed to eat now?!
 * Jerri: All the other only food we have.

 * Jellineck: Mrs. Blank, I think it's time someone who truly loves her try to reach her.
 * Sara: No, I think I should.

 * [Jellineck attempts to deprogram Jerri.]
 * Jellineck: Hey, Jerri! I know you're in there. Listen, I have no idea what you went through.  I don't have any answers, I'm not acting in your best interests.  Why won't you trust me?
 * Jerri: I wanna go back! Those people care about me!
 * Jellineck: Yes, maybe that's true. But do they care about me?  I don't think so.  Do you see the flaw in your logic now?
 * Jerri: No.
 * Jellineck: Agh! I can't reach her! She's lost in some frightening world that isn't centered around me!

 * Jellineck: Perhaps Chuck could get through to her. He was in the cult for 45 seconds, he knows.
 * Noblet: I'll try, but we'll need to be alone.
 * Blackman: All right, everybody out.
 * [Everybody else exits, leaving Noblet alone with Jerri.]
 * Noblet: Thank you. Thank you.  [waits until everybody has left, then turns quickly to Jerri] Okay, Jerri, let's go!
 * Jerri: Where?
 * Noblet: [tugging on her arm] Back to the cult!
 * Jerri: How?
 * Noblet: [opening the furnace] Through the furnace and then out through the air shaft!
 * Jerri: We'll burn to death!
 * Noblet: Father will protect us! Where is your faith, woman?!

A Price Too High For Riches [2.10]

 * Jerri: Greeks are just Jews without the money.

Jerri's Burning Issue [3.1]

 * Dr. Zorders: Jerri, I have some bad news. You have syphilis.
 * Jerri: No!
 * Dr. Zorders: Not only that, it appears your syphilis is infested with crabs that are carrying gonorrhea. Don't you use condoms?
 * Jerri: Look, doc, I go all natural. That's why my prices are so high.
 * Dr. Zorders: That's pretty irresponsible. But, thanks to Penicillin, there's no need to act responsible. Penicillin is nature's condom!

 * Dr. Zorders: Jerri, you're not hearing what I'm saying.
 * Jerri: Oh, that's okay, Doc, 'cause you're not saying what I'm hearing.

 * Jerri: Do a lot of the people die of syphilis?
 * Noblet: Oh, absolutely. Historically, syphilis is right up there with Germans. It wiped out the Romanovs, it decimated our fleet at Pearl Harbor, and of course, Fidel Castro impersonated Marilyn Monroe and gave President Kennedy a case of syphilis so severe that eventually it blew the back of his head off.

 * Jerri: How was the city of Pompeii lost?
 * Jellineck: No one knows. It was buried under tons of lava, which of course destroyed all the records.

Is Freedom Free? [3.2]

Trail of Tears [3.3]

 * Jerri: Orlando, you can't be a pilgrim. The pilgrims had snowy white skin to match their pure Christian souls. They didn't sacrifice coconuts to their monkey gods.

 * Jerri: I'm not adopted and I'm not an Indian. It's just a coincidence that I have a love of gambling and booze and a knack for catching syphilis.

Waiting for Guffman

Waiting for Guffman is a 1997 film about an aspiring director and the marginally-talented amateur cast of a hokey small-town Missouri musical production who go overboard when they learn that someone from Broadway will be in attendance.
 * Directed by Christopher Guest. Written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy.

There's A Good Reason Some Talent Remains Undiscovered.taglines

Corky St Clair

 * It's like in a Hitchcock movie, you know, where they tie you up in a rubber bag and throw you in the trunk of a car. You find people.
 * It's a Zen thing, like "how many babies fit in a tire," you know, the old joke.
 * Well, then, I just HATE you... and I hate your... ass... FACE!
 * My first show was Barefoot in the Park, which was an absolute smash, but my production on the stage of Backdraft was what really got them excited. This whole idea of 'In Your Face' theatre really affected them. The conceptualization, the whole abstraction, the obtuseness of this production to me was what was interesting. I wanted the audience to feel the heat from the fire—the fear—because people don't like fire, poked, poked in their noses. You know, when you get a cinder from a barbeque right on the end of your nose, and you kind of make that face, you know? That's not a good thing. And I wanted them to have the sense memory of that. So during the show I had someone burn newspapers and send it through the vents in the theatre. And well, they freaked out, and 'course the fire marshall came over, and they shut us down for a couple of days.
 * So what I'm understanding here - correct me, if I'm wrong - is that you're not givin' me any money. So now I'm left basically with nothin'. I'm left with zero, in which, in which, what can I do with zero, you know? What can I - I can't do anythin' with it! I need to, this is my life here we're talking about! We're not just talkin' about, you know, somethin' else. We're talking about my life, you know? And it's forcing me to do somethin' I don't wanna do. To leave. To, to go out and just leave and go home and say, make a clean cut here and say: 'No way, Corky, you're not puttin' up with these people!' And I'll tell you why I can't put up with you people - because you're bastard people! That's what you are! You're just bastard people! And I'm goin' home and I'm gonna, I'm gonna bite my pillow, is what I'm gonna do!
 * Me, you know, right out of the navy, you know, fresh off a destroyer, with a dance belt and a tube of chapstick, basically, you know, not really much to call my own, and then basically being slammed down for ten or so years off off off off Broadway, and then, enough is enough, OK, I get the joke.
 * I think that the elements, as Dr. Watson said to Sherlock, "are coming together, sir." I was shopping for my wife, Bonnie (I buy most of her clothes). And Mrs. Pearl was in the same shop, and it just was an accident. Y'know, we started talking... about pantyhose. She was saying—w-whatever, that's not the point of the story, but what the point is was that through this accidental meeting—it's like, y'know, it's like a Hitchcock movie, where, you know, you're thrown into a rubber bag and put in the trunk of a car. You find people; you find them. Something... It—is it karma? Maybe. But we found him; that's the important thing—and I got Bonnie a wonderful pantsuit.
 * What the city council did was really... give me a challenge, and it's a challenge that I am going to accept. It's like in the olden days, in the days of France, when men would slap each other with their gloves say, y'know..."D'Artagnan!"... y'know, "how dare you talk to me like that, you!," and smack 'em.

Libby Mae Brown

 * I been workin' here at the DQ for about, um, eight months...seven? I dunno, something like that. It's fun. Y'just do the cones, make sundaes, make Blizzards, 'n' put stuff on 'em, 'n'... See a lot of people come in; a lot of people come to the DQ—burgers, ice cream. Anything, y'know? Cokes. Just drive in and get a Coke, 'f yer thirsty.
 * My aunt brought out her atlas that I look at a lot—this big, blue book, 'n' opened up to New York, 'n' it's an island, is really what it is. It's this island full of people of different colors 'n' different ideas, 'n' I can't—it sounds like a lot of fun to me. Y'know we don't see much of that in Blaine. I'd like t' maybe meet some guys—some Italian guys, 'r y'know—watch TV, 'n' stuff.

Others

 * Dr. Allan Pearl: People say, You must have been the class clown. And I say, No, I wasn't. But I sat next to the class clown, and I studied him.
 * UFO Expert: I've been coming to this circle for about five years, and measuring it. The diameter and the circumference are constantly changing, but the radius stays the same. Which brings me to the number 5. There are five letters in the word Blaine. Now, if you mix up the letters in the word Blaine, mix 'em around, eventually, you'll come up with Nebali. Nebali. The name of a planet in a galaxy way, way, way... way far away. And another thing. Once you go into that circle, the weather never changes. It is always 67 degrees with a 40% chance of rain.
 * Ron Albertson: If there's an empty space, just fill it with a line, that's what I like to do. Even if it's from another show.
 * Mrs. Pearl: We don't associate with the creative types. We have a Scrabble club. We associate with people with babies.
 * Mayor Glenn Welsch: There's a saying in Missouri, if you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. In Blaine, with hard work, I think we can get that down to three or four minutes.
 * Steve Stark, Councilman: He can act and he can sing and he can dance. There's only one other person in the world who can do all that, and that's Barbra Streisand.

Dialogue

 * Lloyd Miller: [whispering] I don't want to interfere, but I think it would be... I think we have to work on...
 * Corky St. Clair: I can't hear you!
 * Lloyd Miller: [normal voice] I think we have to work on the music a little bit more. But I don't want to make trouble. So, [whispering again] and I don't really want to do this in front of them...
 * Corky St. Clair: Well, where do you want to do it?
 * Lloyd Miller: [whispering] Well, I think we have to sit down and make a schedule that includes some music time, because I think Jane and I have to work...
 * Corky St. Clair: Why are you whispering? I'm right here, you know?
 * Lloyd Miller: [raising voice considerably] Oh I'm sorry, do you want me to talk louder? Because I think that that it would be...
 * Corky St. Clair: Well now it's too loud! You know, just talk like a normal person, OK?

Howl's Moving Castle

Howl's Moving Castle is a fantasy novel by British author Diana Wynne Jones and its animated film adaptation, Hauru no ugoku shiro (ハウルの動く城) was produced by Studio Ghibli. (Japan)

Howl's Moving Castle (1986)

 * ISBN 0-00-675523-2

 * "I'm the best and cleanest witch in Ingary."
 * p. 65.
 * Said by Sophie.

 * "You'll be the death of me! You're as heartless as Howl!" Calcifer choked.
 * p. 72.
 * Said while Sophie is using him to burn dust and rubbish.

 * "Why didn't he turn me out?" [Sophie] said, half to herself and half to Michael. "It beats me," said Michael. "But I think he goes by Calcifer. Most people who come in here either don't notice Calcifer or are scared stiff of him."
 * p. 76.

 * It was clear Howl had not yet caught the girl he was after. Sophie listened to Michael asking rather obvious questions about it, and Howl slithering neatly out of answering any of them. "He is a slitherer-outer," Sophie murmured to a pair of Michael's socks. "Can't face his own wickedness."
 * p. 78.

 * "Look at this!" [Howl] shouted. "Look at it! What has that one-woman force of chaos done to these spells?"
 * p. 86.

"It's just a tantrum," Sophie said. Martha and Lettie were good at having tantrums too. She knew how to deal with those. On the other hand, it is quite a risk to spank a wizard for getting hysterical about his hair.
 * "I can't get him to speak!" Michael whispered miserably.
 * p. 91.

 * "This is a bit much Sophie!" [Howl] said. "I do live here."
 * p. 189.
 * When he is locked out of his own home.

 * "What a strange family you are! Is your name really Lettie too?"
 * p. 261.
 * Howl to Sophie after both her sisters are revealed to be using the same name.

"Who, me?" said Howl. "I assure you, my friends, I am cone sold stober."
 * "Go to bed, you fool." Calcifer said sleepily. "You're drunk."
 * p. 265.

 * "Typical!" [Howl] said to Sophie. "I break my neck to get here, and I find you peacefully tidying up!"
 * pp. 289-290.

"Garbage!" Howl shouted. "You just never stop to think!"
 * "I'm the eldest!" Sophie shrieked. "I'm a failure!"
 * p. 293.

Hauru no ugoku shiro (2004 film)

 * Calcifer: I don't envy you, lady. That is one bad curse. Curses are tough. You're gonna have a very hard time getting rid of that one.

 * Calcifer: My name is Calcifer, the scary and powerful fire demon!

 * Sophie: Let's run away! There's no use fighting.
 * Howl: I'm sorry. I'm done running away, now that I have something I want to protect. It's you.

 * Sophie: IF I EVER GET MY HANDS ON THAT WITCH, I'M GONNA WRING HER FAT NECK! [to Markl] Finish your breakfast!

 * Hat shop worker: Don't worry, he only preys on pretty girls.

 * Witch of the Waste: Nice doggie.

 * Calcifer: [talking about the Witch of the Waste] Sophie... She keeps staring at me... It's freaking me out...
 * Witch of the Waste: What a pretty fire!

 * Sophie: Yes, I'm the scariest witch of them all—the kind that cleans!

 * Howl: [talking to Turnip Head] You've got a nasty curse on you, too. It seems like everyone in this family has problems.

 * Sophie: It seems I've become quite cunning in my old age.

 * Sophie: A heart is a heavy burden.

 * Sophie: Don't come in here. I've got a bad cold. I don't want you to catch it.
 * Honey: You sound ghastly, like some 90-year-old woman.

 * Howl: Calcifer, you're being so obedient.
 * Calcifer: Not on purpose! She [Sophie] bullied me!
 * Howl: Not just anyone can do that.

 * Howl: I'd appreciate it if you didn't torment my friend.

 * Witch of the Waste: Standing up to the Witch of the Waste? That's pretty plucky.

 * Sophie: It's been nice meeting you, even if you are my least-favorite vegetable. Take care, Turnip Head.

 * Markl: [to Sophie] Quit telling lies to our customers.

 * Witch of the Waste: Oh, what a pretty fire. (Said multiple times, after she has been made old again.)

 * Madam Suliman: Let's finally put an end to this foolish war.

 * Howl: You're wearing that hat? After all the magic I used to make your dress pretty?

 [Howl sends Sophie out after promising to follow her in disguise and Sophie tries to spot him]
 * Sophie: I wonder what Howl will disguise himself as?

[She passes a group of pigeons on a statue.]
 * Sophie: No, couldn't be.

[A man with a glider plane with a giggling young woman flies overhead.]
 * Sophie: [looks at it wryly] That could be him.

 * Witch of the Waste: Better luck next time—your true love has fallen in love with someone else.

 * Markl: Move it, Grandma! Or you'll lose your nose!

 * Young Sophie: They say that the brightest spark burns best when circumstances are at their worst.
 * Calcifer: Yeah, but no one really believes that.

 * Witch of the Waste: What a tacky shop. I've never seen such tacky little hats, yet you are by far the tackiest thing in here.

 * Witch of the Waste: The best part about that spell, is that you can't tell anyone about it. Send my regards to Howl.

 ''[Sophie pulls out a note from her pocket. It flutters out of her hand and lands on the table, and burns the markings of the note into the wood.]''
 * Markl: Scorch Marks! Howl, can you read them?
 * Howl: I think so. [reading] "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man, your heart shall soon belong to me." [pauses] This can't be good for the table.

 [after Sophie puts a pan and bacon on Calcifer]
 * Calcifer: Here's another curse for you—may all your bacon burn!

 * Old Sophie: Are you the one moving this castle?
 * Calcifer: Of course I am! No one else does any work around here.

 * Calcifer: [to Sophie] You crazy lady with tongs!

 * Witch of the Waste: [to Sophie] You're in love. Don't deny it, you've been sighing all day.

 [after Sophie gives part of her hair to Calcifer]
 * Young Sophie: Thanks, Calcifer!, You're fantastic!
 * Calcifer: Imagine what could I do with your eyes, or your heart!

 * Howl: Calcifer, you didn't have to come back.
 * Calcifer: Yeah, well, I kinda missed you guys, and it looks like it's gonna rain.
 * Young Sophie: I missed you, too, Cal. [kisses his cheek]
 * Calcifer: Wow!

 ''[Howl comes running out of the bathroom, screaming. His hair is now orange.]''
 * Howl: Sophie! You—You sabotaged me! Look! Look at what you've done to my hair! Look!
 * Old Sophie: What a pretty color.
 * Howl: It's hideous! You completely ruined my magic potions in the bathroom!
 * Old Sophie: I just organized things, Howl. Nothing's ruined.
 * Howl: Wrong! Wrong! I specifically ordered you not to get carried away! [tragically] Now I'm repulsive. [slumps into a chair] I can't live like this.

[Howl starts sobbing, his head in his hands.]
 * Old Sophie: Come on, it's not that bad.

[Howl's hair changes color to purple, then black.]
 * Old Sophie: [now a bit worried] You should look at it now. Its shade is even better.
 * Howl: [inconsolable] I give up. I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful.

Talk:Howl's Moving Castle

Question: I do not rightly understand. Howl's Moving Castle claims it's by a British author. Is it originally in Japanese (or Chinese, I cannot tell the difference)? Is it about another work? I am not certain there is value in the translation of a quotation on English WQ. I would appreciate more identifying materials and some clarification, as I do not want to randomly delete parts of articles, but as is, this is confusing :( MosheZadka 11:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Answer: The movie is based on the book Howl's Moving Castle written by the British author Diana Wynne-Jones. The movie was originally done in Japanese, that is the simple answer. Here is a website to her books  I don't think it really matters who made the movie, or how accurate the translation is. If you are that curious, you could just pick up the book at a local bookstore or library and see for yourself. 1:11 PM, 21 February 2010

Copyright check
There are too many quotes in the film section for a film of that length so it needs trimming. I'm not sure how to tell if the book quotes are over the limit or not though. Could someone please clarify the policy on limits on quotations from literary sources? Much thanks. Raisin56 20:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Ehud Barak

Ehud Barak (Hebrew: אֵהוּד בָּרָק) (born Ehud Brog on February 12, 1942, in Mishmar HaSharon kibbutz, then British Mandate of Palestine) is an Israeli politician and was the 10th Prime Minister of Israel from 1999 to 2001.

Quotes

 * אם הייתי פלסטיני בגיל המתאים, הייתי נכנס בשלב מסוים לאחד מארגוני הטרור...פעולות ארגוני הטרור הפלסטיני, הפוגעות בנשים וילדים הן חמורות, נבזיות ושפלות
 * Translation: If I were a Palestinian at the right age, I would have joined one of the terrorist organizations at a certain stage...The actions of the Palestinian terrorist organizations, which harm women and children, are grave, despicable and heinous.
 * Interview by Gideon Levi, March 1998

 * There is another story, that we tried to impose upon him [Arafat] cantons, Bantustans. Total lie. We talked about 80%+ of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip. How can it become non-contiguous? And if you have some reservation against this or that curl of the border, at some corner, come to the table, negotiate it, and demand that this will be removed. I can go with you more and more, and I cannot afford spending more time on it, but basically, all these were stories that were invented in order to explain to his own people, and maybe to try to convince honest people in the free world how come that such an opportunity had been missed. Of course, I had my own demands, to protect Israel, to ensure our security, to make sure that we know where do we head. I said loud and clear: we have to put an end to this asymmetric process where we are supposed to give tangible assets, and the Palestinians have just to give vague promises about the nature of future relationship. I said I'm ready to go very far, but I want to know, now, that there is a partner, which is ready and capable to make tough decisions, and painful decisions. I was a great supporter of the peace of the brave, but never a supporter of peace of ostriches, where you put your head in the sand, let whatever happen, happen, and then wake up and say, OK, that's what happened. We cannot afford this approach. That's the reality.
 * Speech at UC Berkeley, November 22, 2002

 * [How is it consistent with what you advocated this evening in terms of a vision for peace, that you continued to allow the building of settlements in the West Bank, during your primeministership?] Let me tell you, first of all, during my term as a Prime Minister, we have not built a single new settlement. I ordered the dismantling of many voluntary -- I don't know how to call it -- new settlements that had been set on top of hills in different parts of the West Bank, basically. But, I allowed contracts, contracts that had been signed, legally, in Israel, beforehand. To build new neighborhoods in some big cities in the West Bank, cities with 25,000 or 30,000 people. And very few new homes, in small settlements, where youngsters, who came back from the army service, asked to build their home near the home of their parents. Now, Israel is a law-abiding state, you cannot break contracts, there is Supreme Court. If the government behaves in a way that is not proper, any individual can appeal and change whatever we decide. Realizing that this is a sensitive issue from the Palestinian side, I talked to Arafat, at the beginning of my term as a Prime Minister, and I told him: Mr. Chairman, I know that you are worried about it, it creates some problems, in your own constituency. But let me tell you, we have a great opportunity here to put an end to the whole conflict, in a year and a half. When President Clinton that invested unbelievable amount of energy and political capital in trying to solve it, and he's still in power. Now, I understand your problem with settlement if there is no end, there is no time limit, and you are afraid that maybe the accumulation of new settlements will change the nature of the situation, for the worse, from your position. So I tell you, out of our own considerations, independent of you, we have decided not to set even a single new settlement. We will not allow anyone to establish his own private initiatives on the hills, for our own reasons, not because of you. But at the same time I will respect any contract that has been signed, under law, in Israel. But -- and here is a point -- bearing in mind that we can put an end to the conflict, to reach an agreement within a year and a half, why the hell it will matter? To build a new building in Israel takes more than a year and a half, so you won't see any building that is not already emerging from the ground, having it's roof before we can reach an agreement. Now if such a building happens to be in a settlement that will become, under the agreement, part of the new independent Palestine, why the hell you have to care? Take it, use it, put some refugees in it. And if it will happen to be a part of what will be agreed, as Israel, in a mutual agreement that is signed by you, why the hell do you care, if you agree? I believe that that simple answer would not solve his public -- or internal political -- problems, but it would solve the real issue if the will was there to make peace, and not just to politically maneuver and manipulate.
 * Speech at UC Berkeley, November 22, 2002

 * ["DONALDSON: But on Friday, you were very pessimistic. You said, "No good," when someone asked you how things were going."] No, I'm saying even now, if I have to summarize the situation - in one word it's good, in two words, not good.
 * Interview with Prime Minister Ehud Barak on ABC News, September 10, 2000

 * The Left is acting like a young child, saying 'I want peace'... A child says 'I want candy right away,' an adult takes all of the factors into account and understands who he's dealing with.
 * Barak Fights Labor MKs over Goldstone Israel National News, October 26, 2009.

 * Life-sustaining Zionism and the seeds of fascism cannot live together.
 * What has happened is a hostile takeover of the Israeli government by dangerous elements. And it's just the beginning.
 * This government needs to be brought down before it brings all of us down, there are no serious leaders left in the world who believe the Israeli government.
 * During an interview to Channel 10, (May 20, 2016).

 * The terminally cute sea otter is a marine weasel into rough sex. The male otter's arms (legs, whatever) are effective for grooming their fine pelts or cracking shells on the rocks they place on their bellies, but they are too short for getting a good grip on a mate. So the male gets firm purchase by biting down on the female's nose before going for a little splendor in the kelp. Afterward you can often spot the females hauled up on rocks along the shore, their fur matted and their noses bloody. It's not hard to imagine that a female with a heavily scarred nose might get a reputation as an easy otter.
