Quotes

 * When I was 13, I was flat as a board and totally unhappy about it. I would write in my diary every day, Oh, if I could just have a B cup by summer! I actually prayed for big boobs. So I developed at about 14, and then I was 15, 16, 17, and they kept going.
 * Discussing her bust in an interview with Maxim (June 2000)

 * Oh God — I look back now, and it seems so gross. At just 14 years old, I had to wear a thong bikini. And then they used that scene in the trailer, so my entire school saw it! There are still men who come up to me today and say, "You were really hot in that film!" I was 14, for God's sake!
 * Discussing her scene in My Father The Hero in an interview with FHM (October 2000)

 * I lived in a town called New Canaan, which is just outside of Connecticut, where they are far too snobby to even mention celebrities. Many American towns are famous for things like, "See the World's Largest Ball of String!" I think my town's would probably have to be "Most Pretentious People".
 * About New Canaan, her hometown, in an interview with FHM (October 2000)

Allure magazine (2007)

 * Interview in Allure magazine (June 2007)

 * I think people don't expect a lot from me. I'm trying to think at what age I noticed it was more about how I looked and less about what I do, but to me that was never the interesting part about me. I had nothing to do with my looks.

 * I do think you've got to fight a lot of the time to be respected in business, in relationships, in life. I learned that early in my career.

 * I have very little patience for people who whine and complain about life not being fair. It's just the risk of life. The only thing to do is live as much as you can and as best you can, and just sort of swing it from there.

 * Yeah, I have giant breasts — in a bra. It's so disconcerting — there are so many women now with fake breasts that that's the standard; that's what you're supposed to look like. But real boobs don't look like that, and a lot of working out won't make them look like that.

 * I have a real problem giving up that kind of control. You know, my mother helps me.
 * On not having a stylist.

InStyle magazine (2009)

 * Interview in InStyle magazine (August 2009)

 * I'm still figuring out who I am. But at least I know what I want.

 * My sense of humor is the raunchier, inappropriate kind. It's so much funnier than the quirky stuff.

 * Now I've got this moniker that I'm the foot-in-mouth gal, and I keep thinking, In what way? Because I said something you don't agree with? Because I said something you don't like? I'm just telling you my opinion. I hate the idea that I can't be honest about how I feel about things because it's going to piss somebody off who feels differently. That seems preposterous to me.

 * In my early 20s, I didn't know who I was or what I wanted. And if you're just getting to know yourself while you're in a serious relationship—well, it's almost like when you go through clothing phases where it's all Banana Republic all the time, and then it's something else. It's like you're trying on different personalities to see what fits, but there is that real you in there somewhere.

 * Isn't it better to be alone than pretend you're someone else? Be you. Find you. Be happy with that.

G. H. Hardy

Godfrey Harold Hardy FRS (7 February 1877 – 1 December 1947) was an English mathematician, known for his achievements in number theory and mathematical analysis. In biology, he is known for the Hardy–Weinberg principle, a basic principle of population genetics. Hardy is usually known by those outside the field of mathematics for his 1940 essay A Mathematician's Apology, often considered one of the best insights into the mind of a working mathematician written for the layperson. He had a long collaboration with John Edensor Littlewood, and he discovered and supported the work of Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Quotes
The function of a mathematician, then, is simply to observe the facts about his own intricate system of reality, that astonishingly beautiful complex of logical relations which forms the subject-matter of his science, as if he were an explorer looking at a distant range of mountains, and to record the results of his observations in a series of maps, each of which is a branch of pure mathematics. ...Among them there perhaps none quite so fascinating, with quite the astonishing contrasts of sharp outline and shade, as that which constitutes the theory of numbers.
 * Mathematicians have constructed a very large number of different systems of geometry, Euclidean or non-Euclidean, of one, two, three, or any number of dimensions. All these systems are of complete and equal validity. They embody the results of mathematicians' observations of their reality, a reality far more intense and far more rigid than the dubious and elusive reality of physics. The old-fashioned geometry of Euclid, the entertaining seven-point geometry of Veblen, the space-times of Minkowski and Einstein, are all absolutely and equally real. ...There may be three dimensions in this room and five next door. As a professional mathematician, I have no idea; I can only ask some competent physicist to instruct me in the facts.
 * "The Theory of Numbers," Nature (Sep 16, 1922) Vol. 110 p. 381

 * If I knew I was going to die today, I think I should still want to hear the cricket scores.
 * Quoted in The Joy of Cricket (ed. John Bright-Holmes, 1984)

 * If I could prove by logic that you would die in five minutes, I should be sorry you were going to die, but my sorrow would be very much mitigated by pleasure in the proof.
 * Quoted by Bertrand Russell, Logical and Philosophical Papers, 1909–13, Routledge, 1992, p. xxix.

Ramanujan (1940)

 * Ramanujan : Twelve Lectures on Subjects Suggested by His Life and Work

 * He could remember the idiosyncrasies of numbers in an almost uncanny way. It was Littlewood who said that every positive integer was one of Ramanujan's personal friends. I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."
 * Ch. I : The Indian mathematician Ramanujan.

 * I am obliged to interpolate some remarks on a very difficult subject: proof and its importance in mathematics. All physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians, are contemptuous about proof. I have heard Professor Eddington, for example, maintain that proof, as pure mathematicians understand it, is really quite uninteresting and unimportant, and that no one who is really certain that he has found something good should waste his time looking for proof.
 * Ch. I : The Indian mathematician Ramanujan.

A Mathematician's Apology (1941)

 * … there is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.

 * If a man has any genuine talent, he should be ready to make almost any sacrifice in order to cultivate it to the full.

 * Galois died at twenty-one, Abel at twenty-seven, Ramanujan at thirty-three, Riemann at forty. There have been men who have done great work a good deal later; Gauss's great memoir on differential geometry was published when he was fifty (though he had had the fundamental ideas ten years before). I do not know an instance of a major mathematical advance initiated by a man past fifty. If a man of mature age loses interest in and abandons mathematics, the loss is not likely to be very serious either for mathematics or for himself.

 * Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. "Immortality" may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean.

 * A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

 * A painter makes patterns with shapes and colours, a poet with words. A painting may embody an ‘idea’, but the idea is usually commonplace and unimportant.  In poetry, ideas count for a good deal more; but, [...] the importance of ideas in poetry is habitually exaggerated: '... Poetry is not the thing said but a way of saying it.' [In poetry,] the poverty of the ideas seems hardly to affect the beauty of the verbal pattern.

 * The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s must be beautiful; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.

 * Reductio ad absurdum, which Euclid loved so much, is one of a mathematician's finest weapons. It is a far finer gambit than any chess play: a chess player may offer the sacrifice of a pawn or even a piece, but a mathematician offers the game.

 * Chess problems are the hymn-tunes of mathematics.

 * A chess problem is genuine mathematics, but it is in some way 'trivial' mathematics. However ingenious and intricate, however original and surprising the moves, there is something essential lacking. Chess problems are unimportant. The best mathematics is serious as well as beautiful – important if you like, but the word is very ambiguous, and 'serious' expresses what I mean much better.

 * I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.

 * ...there is probably less difference between the positions of a mathematician and of a physicist than is generally supposed, [...] the mathematician is in much more direct contact with reality. This may seem a paradox, since it is the physicist who deals with the subject-matter usually described as 'real', but [...] [a physicist] is trying to correlate the incoherent body of crude fact confronting him with some definite and orderly scheme of abstract relations, the kind of scheme he can borrow only from mathematics.

 * 317 is a prime, not because we think so, or because our minds are shaped in one way rather than another, but because it is, because mathematical reality is built that way.

 * Pure mathematics is on the whole distinctly more useful than applied. [...] For what is useful above all is technique, and mathematical technique is taught mainly through pure mathematics.

 * We have still one more question to consider. We have concluded that the trivial mathematics is, on the whole, useful, and that the real mathematics, on the whole, is not

 * No one has yet discovered any warlike purpose to be served by the theory of numbers or relativity, and it seems unlikely that anyone will do so for many years.

 * I still say to myself when I am depressed and find myself forced to listen to pompous and tiresome people "Well, I have done one thing you could never have done, and that is to have collaborated with Littlewood and Ramanujan on something like equal terms."

 * No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world.

Quoted by C. P. Snow
Quoted by C. P. Snow in his foreword to the 1967 Cambridge edition
 * Bradman is a whole class above any batsman who has ever lived: if Archimedes, Newton and Gauss remain in the Hobbs class, I have to admit the possibility of a class above them, which I find difficult to imagine. They had better be moved from now on into the Bradman class. (pg 28)
 * It is never worth a first-class man's time to express a majority opinion. By definition, there are plenty of others to do that. (pg 46)

Quotes about G. H. Hardy

 * Hardy was a great internationalist who worked with foreign mathematicians, visiting them, encouraging them to visit him and settling some, including Besicovitch, in England. There were some major probability figures in Hardy’s network: George Pólya (1887-1985) of Zürich, Norbert Wiener (1894-1964) of MIT and Harald Cramér (1893-1985) of Stockholm-appropriately Wiener and Cramér first met when visiting Hardy in 1920.

"In this way... the ultimate reason behind the courageous rejection which the students at Göttingen University meted out to a great mathematician, Edmund Landau, was that his un-German style in research and teaching had become intolerable to German sensitivities. A people which has seen how alien desires for dominion are gnawing at its identity, how enemies of the people are working to impose their alien ways on it, must reject teachers of a type alien to it." The English mathematician Godfrey H. Hardy... responded to Bieberbach... "There are many of us, many English and many Germans, who said things during the (First) War which we scarcely meant and are sorry to remember now. Anxiety for one's own position, dread of falling behind the rising torrent of folly, determination at all costs not to be outdone, may be natural if not particularly heroic excuses. Prof. Bieberbach's reputation excludes such explanation for his utterances; and I find myself driven to the more uncharitable conclusion that he really believes them true."
 * In 1933 Landau was dismissed from his [University of Göttingen] chair on the grounds of his race. An important colleague... Ludwig Bieberbach ...wrote the following lines in a treatise on Personality structure and mathematical creativity:
 * Jörg Arndt & Christoph Haenel, Pi - Unleashed (2012)

 * To illustrate to what extent Hardy and Littlewood in the course of the years came to be considered as the leaders of recent English mathematical research, I may report what an excellent colleague once jokingly said: 'Nowadays, there are only three really great English mathematicians: Hardy, Littlewood, and Hardy-Littlewood.'
 * Harald Bohr,, p. xxvii.

 * Hardy in his thirties held the view that the late years of a mathematician's life were spent most profitably in writing books; I remember a particular conversation about this, and though we never spoke of the matter again it remained an understanding.

Bruce Schneier

Bruce Schneier (born January 15, 1963) is an American cryptographer, computer security specialist, and writer.

Cryptography

 * Anyone, from the most clueless amateur to the best cryptographer, can create an algorithm that he himself can't break.
 * (aka Schneier's Law)

 * There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop your kid sister from reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major governments from reading your files.

 * Attacks always get better, they never get worse.

 * The lesson here is that it is insufficient to protect ourselves with laws; we need to protect ourselves with mathematics. Encryption is too important to be left solely to governments.

 * A few years ago I heard a quotation, and I am going to modify it here: If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology.
 * preface to 2015 edition of Secrets and Lies

 * It's certainly easier to implement bad security and make it illegal for anyone to notice than it is to implement good security.
 * Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World - Bruce Schneier

Digital Rights Management

 * Digital files cannot be made uncopyable, any more than water can be made not wet.

 * Every time I write about the impossibility of effectively protecting digital files on a general-purpose computer, I get responses from people decrying the death of copyright. "How will authors and artists get paid for their work?" they ask me. Truth be told, I don't know. I feel rather like the physicist who just explained to a group of would-be interstellar travelers, only to be asked: "How do you expect us to get to the stars, then?" I'm sorry, but I don't know that, either.

 * Against the average user, anything works; there's no need for complex security software. Against the skilled attacker, on the other hand, nothing works.

Elections

 * Elections serve two purposes. The first, and obvious, purpose is to accurately choose the winner. But the second is equally important: to convince the loser.

Politics and societal issues of the digital age

 * It is poor civic hygiene to install technologies that could someday facilitate a police state.
 * Secrets and Lies (2000), p. 53

 * I mean, the computer industry promises nothing. Did you ever read a shrink-wrapped license agreement? You should read one. It basically says, if this product deliberately kills your children, and we knew it would, and we decided not to tell you because it might harm sales, we're not liable.  I mean, it says stuff like that.  They're absurd documents.  You have no rights.

 * Beware the Four Horsemen of the Information Apocalypse: terrorists, drug dealers, kidnappers, and child pornographers. Seems like you can scare any public into allowing the government to do anything with those four.

 * Chaos is hard to create, even on the Internet. Here's an example. Go to Amazon.com. Buy a book without using SSL. Watch the total lack of chaos.

 * When my mother gets a prompt 'Do you want to download this?' she's going to say yes. It's disingenuous for Microsoft to give you all of these tools [in Internet Explorer] with which to hang yourself, and when you do, then say it's your fault.

Human perception of reality, risk and terrorism

 * More people are killed every year by pigs than by sharks, which shows you how good we are at evaluating risk.
 * The very definition of news is something that hardly ever happens. If an incident is in the news, we shouldn't worry about it. It's when something is so common that its no longer news – car crashes, domestic violence – that we should worry.
 * The very definition of news is something that hardly ever happens. If an incident is in the news, we shouldn't worry about it. It's when something is so common that its no longer news – car crashes, domestic violence – that we should worry.

 * … if anyone thinks they can get an accurate picture of anyplace on the planet by reading news reports, they're sadly mistaken.

 * We can't keep weapons out of prisons; we can't possibly expect to keep them out of airports.

 * The point of terrorism is to cause terror, sometimes to further a political goal and sometimes out of sheer hatred. The people terrorists kill are not the targets; they are collateral damage. And blowing up planes, trains, markets or buses is not the goal; those are just tactics. The real targets of terrorism are the rest of us: the billions of us who are not killed but are terrorized because of the killing. The real point of terrorism is not the act itself, but our reaction to the act. And we're doing exactly what the terrorists want.

 * Well-designed security systems fail gracefully.

Sourced

 * Not being angels is expensive
 * Liars & Outliers, Bruce Schneier, ISBN 978-1-118-14330-8, p. 43

 * Technical problems can be remediated. A dishonest corporate culture is much harder to fix.

 * Only amateurs attack machines; professionals target people.

 * In China, programs have to be certified by the government in order to be used on computers there, which sounds an awful lot like the Apple store.

Talk:David Weber

Removed links
I removed most of the recently added External links for a variety of reasons: I have intentionally not included the URLs for the copyright-violating sites. — Jeff Q 10:03, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * No response from server:
 * InfoDump AKA Pearls of Weber — includes maps, timeline
 * No content yet:
 * David Weber's Home Placeholder
 * Copyright infringement:
 * "Baen" CD Library — whole CDs and the files on them
 * Oberon — whole CDs, Torrent links, some indexes

 * On the other hand, the Baen Free Library offers official free versions three of Weber's "Honor Harrington" novels: On Basilisk Station, The Honor of the Queen, and Changer of Worlds. I've added that link. (Thanks to Wikipedian Wwoods for the tip.) — Jeff Q 00:38, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

To the user who removed links to the Baen CD Library Disks due to copyright infringement, you should have checked before you assumed. There's absolutely no infringement involved. All 6 CDs are clearly labeled, "This disk and its contents may be copied and shared but NOT sold". (emphasis thiers) It is perfectly legal to distribute this CD, either physically or in electronic form. -- 68.39.81.43 00:17, 9 Mar 2005

 * To the anonymous user (68.39.81.43, whose signature I added because they did not): you should not have assumed that I removed the "Baen" CD Library link without checking. I did check it before doing so. What I found at this site, which the contributing editor suspiciously labelled "Baen" CD Library, as if to avoid legal action from Baen, was the following:

 * A bold statement that the site was not affliated with Baen Books, yet was claiming that these copyrighted materials were freely downloadable as long as they're not sold. There are tens of thousands of people with similar sites who seem to feel that anything they can upload to a website should be available to anyone to download, as long as no money is made from it. That general assumption is absolutely false, and I thought I had found yet another attempt at illegal distribution.

 * Pictures of CDs that are contained within copyrighted books. Those disc pictures have tiny white print (containing the aforementioned permissive statement) that is completely illegible on my 1024x768 laptop screen. That is not an appropriate use of the phrase "clearly labeled".

 * A link to Baen's main webpage, which makes no direct reference to these CDs.

 * Had I done more research, I would have found the official statement on Baen's generosity behind the "About the Free Library" tab on Baen's main webpage. Also, I later realized that the disc pictures could be clicked on to provide a much larger image, on which one can read the white print. (Even then, I'd suspect it, as I could slap such a plain-text statement on a digital image with primitive graphics tools.) Given the other suspicious elements of this link, however, I felt I'd found a copyvio. I was wrong, yes, but I had made an honest effort to uncover the truth.

 * About a week after I removed this doubtful link, Wwoods pointed out to me that Baen is, in fact, offering the contents of these CDs available, even online, without cost. Rather than making a bald, unsupported assertion, Wwoods provided me with a useful link to the verifiably official Baen Free Library webpage, which happens to be the page that the "About the Free Library" link jumps to. This was a direct link to the permission needed to avoid copyright infringement. I happily and promptly added the link to this official statement to the article's External links, as I mentioned in my 9 January posting above.

 * It is true that I did not restore the "Baen" CD LIbrary link, which is indistinguishable from a copyvio site without that official statement. In these days of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, that site's webmasters are quite foolish in merely claiming the material is distributable, rather than clearly stating that Baen has given its permission, and also in providing a general link to the Baen site, rather than the specific link to the explicit permission to distribute. (I repeat that a child could paste the permission text onto those disc images.)

 * If someone wants to restore this link, they're welcome to do so. It does provide a quicker way to get all the material, as the Baen Free Library site requires one download per book per format. — Jeff Q (talk) 06:33, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Link added. John Ringo told me that Baen described these CDs as "A license to print money!" and wants them spread far and wide.  To he who removed the link saying that the text on the disc is illegible:  buy a book.  There's a nice long blurb about how the only readon they're giving away CDs and ISOs is to be mercenary bastards.  The burden of proof that I'm lying is on you; if people have to prove everything they do is legal then nothing happens.  But I think I will anyway.

Are the CD-Rom links going to be put on this page or not? They keep being edited out for no apparent reason when someone places them there after repetedly pointing out its a legal copy.

Hmmm, as part of that studious investigation, did you do something as simple as Googling Baen, CD, & library? (Like I did to find this page) If so, you'd get the following link.

http://www.baen.com/orientation.htm

Written by Jim Baen, referring to the Honerverse CD, and stating in part, "If you missed the first edition you can obtain a copy of the CD as an ISO image you can use to burn your own copy!"

With just a bit more searching, you can find the authors telling you to distribute them. John Ringo has said it, and so has Eric Flint. I'm sure others have as well, check the Baen Bar, it's probably there.

So, to reitterate, the Baen CD Libraries are Free. They are freely distributable. They may be copied by anyone, as long as they aren't sold.

Links to the CDs http://baen.ghostwheel.com/ http://www.neologism.co.uk/baen/ http://gryffindor.dnsalias.org/~thj/Hobbies/baen.html There are some others, and Bit Torrents, just google as above.

Complaining vs. doing
Three users have been complaining about this article's content (or, more accurately, this Talk page's content) for the past two months without taking any action on the article itself. It occurs to me that this may be because they are not familiar with the concept of wikis. I am not going to go over all the relevant information they should be accumulating by regular use of wikis, as that information is available in many places, starting with Help:Contents. I'm sure some of the problem comes from these users' apparent focus solely on this article (based on a review of their edit histories). There's nothing wrong with that; no one need work on anything they're not interested in. But the tone of criticism and complaint is not becoming in a wiki, and is certainly not geared toward getting cooperation. Please allow me to make the following points:

These users have got me so annoyed with their inaction and complaints about a resolved issue that I want to wash my hands of this whole situation. As a Wikiquote sysop now, I spend a considerable amount of time fixing frequent vandalizations, researching quote subjects, debating policy issues, and assisting polite users who don't demand that I do their work for them. I could take five seconds out to add the link(s), but that would be like feeding a village instead of teaching people to grow food. To those three dissatisfied users, I say "be bold!" Please review Wikiquette for tips on how to work successfully with other wiki users, read about general wiki use, and consider making the edits you desire yourselves. That's your right and your great opportunity in this project! — Jeff Q (talk) 06:28, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Anyone can edit the article itself. When I said that anyone was welcome to restore the link I removed, I was being literal. I don't recall why I just didn't do it myself, except perhaps that I may have been a bit irked at the accusation that I hadn't done any checking (to which I responded with a detailed account of exactly what checking I had and hadn't done), and I just wasn't in the mood. Petty, perhaps, but wikis are an entirely voluntary effort, and I spent all my energy on this topic defending my actions and confessing my failure. I imagine I thought someone would quickly make the simple edit to put the link back in the article. To date, no one has done this.
 * 19 days after my mea culpa, Chrontius responded by telling me to spend money on the book and do yet more work, rather than simply restore the link him/herself, as if I am somehow solely responsible for this page. This is a misunderstanding of the wiki process. If you want something done, either do it yourself, or ask others nicely. Complaining and needling others rarely gets you any action on a wiki. And the action Chrontius urged was moot, as I'd already acknowledged that the CDs were legit. Continuing an argument after you've already won is another way to encourage people to ignore you.
 * Chrontius also changed the header of the discussion from "Removed links" to "Un-Removed links", rendering the start of the discussion confusing to anyone coming to this topic later. One should always consider future readers when making retroactive changes in wiki discussion pages. I have fixed that error.
 * More than six weeks later, 217.155.134.154 asked about the links, and complained that "they keep being edited out for no apparent reason when someone places them there after repetedly [sic] pointing out its [sic] a legal copy". Please note that, in a wiki, it is possible to verify exactly what editing action has taken place. 217's statement is absolutely incorrect. I added the Baen Free Library link on 8 Jan, an anoymous user vandalized the page on 11 Feb (which was quickly reverted by another user), and two tweaks were made to this article's categories. No links were either added or deleted in that time. As far as the Talk page goes, no links had been removed since I posted my original copyvio concern. The edit histories are available for anyone to examine.
 * 15 days after that, 68.39.81.4 (or "Mike S.", as he kindly informed us) made another snarky criticism of my efforts and tried to bolster the case that had already been won. He added several links to this page (not the article, where they matter). I haven't checked them, and don't intend to, as I've already spent far more time on this entire topic than I wish to, despite my enjoyment of Weber's works. I repeat that anyone can (and should) add links to the article, and that telling me to do it — after insulting me again — is counter-productive.

Removed FifthImperium link
I've just removed a link to what appears to be a fan-driven auxiliary site (baencd.thefifthimperium.com) providing nothing not available from the official site. Anticipating another complaint storm similar to the one laid out above, I'll justify my action by pointing out that Wikiquote is not an internet directory or a place to advertise one's related site. We provide quotes and links to sources for those quotes, but we always favor official sites over fan sites. If there is a compelling reason to include an unofficial site for quote research, please make the case here before restoring the link. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The site you removed contains all of his books many of which are not in baen's free library. You invited users to replace links to the cd library so I did.  This site also states that use of the cds is permitted.  Did you bother to look at the site or just delete it without checking? I would think a complete set of his work would be more useful than a partial but what do I know? By the way, the site was already referenced in the infodump link. so I will just link to the weber saganami cdrom.  [user:guit4r9uy]

 * Thank you, Guit4r9uy, for your prompt clarification. This time I intentionally did not investigate the site, preferring to put the onus on link-adders to justify the links. You're on the record now averring that this site does have permission. (I do see their own rather informal statement. I'd still prefer seeing the actual Baen statement on the material, but I'll accept it at face-value, given Baen's now-existing practice.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:20, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

just one expletive-deleted minute. you expletive-deleted removed my link without checking it while you stated that it provided nothing extra from the baen home page ? what did you use to reach this conclusion a expletive-deleted seance? expletive-deleted you -- Guit4r9uy 08:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid I've not been very clear. When I say I did not "investigate" the site, I meant I did not go wandering through the site to find its contents and analyze them. What I did was go there, look at the links, which looked like simple links to CDs that should be expected (if actually released by Baen) to be available on their site, and figured they were probably redundant. Apparently I was wrong, and I apologize for my hastiness.

 * But you should understand that we have over 4,500 articles here on Wikiquote, and people are constantly adding irrelevant links to many of them. There are, however, only half a dozen people actively monitoring pages for extraneous links. Do the math and you can see that it's extremely difficult to spend any significant time doing research on most pages. I am trying (however inadequately) to encourage people to give reasons why they add such links.

 * It would help a lot if people would use the "edit summary" box provided during every edit to explain what they're adding, as they're supposed to. We could have avoided this whole situation if you'd simply commented in the edit summary "+distributable CD images not yet avail on Baen site", or something similar.

 * And as I pointed out above in earlier conversations, you'll only get so much cooperation from people by vicious retorts, however self-censored. You might want to review Wikiquette. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:38, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

HEYJEFF. HERE IS A VERY EASY WAY TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION. DAVID WEBER AND JOHN RINGO WILL ANSWER ANY EMAIL. ASK THEM. YOU ARE NOT THE LONE INTERNET RANGER. STOP ACTING LIKE IT!

 * I would point out 1) all capitalized message is not reader-frinedly and 2) frequently considered as intimidation. Humbly I recommend you to follow Wikiquette. Thanks.
 * And Drgnrbrn33, if you think it appropriate to ask something to Mr. David Weber, it should you to do so, you have no good reason to order a volunteering Wikiquote sysop to do anything. You cannot make him do what you want, you need to do it by yourself at your cost. Please note this project is run by volunteers and only as for content. --Aphaia 22:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Crimes and Misdemeanors is a 1989 film about an opthamologist's mistress who threatens to reveal their affair to his wife, while a married documentary filmmaker is infatuated by another woman.
 * Written and directed by Woody Allen.

Judah Rosenthal

 * God is a luxury I can't afford.

 * One sin leads to a deeper sin.

 * I remember my father telling me, "The eyes of God are on us always." The eyes of God. What a phrase to a young boy. What were God's eyes like? Unimaginably penetrating, intense eyes, I assumed. And I wonder if it was just a coincidence that I made my specialty ophthalmology.

 * Jack lives in the real world. You live in the kingdom of heaven. I'd managed to keep free of that real world, but suddenly it's found me.

Clifford Stern

 * When he tells you he wants to exchange ideas, what he really wants is to exchange fluids.

 * Show business is, is dog-eat-dog. It's worse than dog-eat-dog. It's dog-doesn't-return-other-dog's-phone-calls. You know, it's just terrible. Which reminds me, I should really check my service. I don't know why, I haven't had a message in seven years! You know, I call up and I hear the girls on the other end giggling.

 * While we're waiting for a cab I'll give you your lesson for today. Don't listen to what your teachers tell ya, you know. Don't pay attention. Just, just see what they look like and that's how you'll know what life is really gonna be like.

 * I think I see a cab. If we run quickly we can kick the crutch from that old lady and get it.

 * I don't know from suicide. Where I grew up in Brooklyn, nobody committed suicide - they were too unhappy.

 * What's the guy so upset about? You'd think nobody was ever compared to Mussolini before.

 * The last time I was inside a woman was when I visited the Statue of Liberty.

 * A strange man defecated on my sister.

 * Honey, you're the one who stopped sleeping with me, okay? It'll be a year come April 20th. I remember the date exactly, because it was Hitler's birthday.

 * [after Levy's suicide] I got 600,000 feet of film on this guy. And he's telling how great life is and everything and now, you know. What am I gonna do? I'll cut it up and make it into guitar picks.

Wendy Stern

 * We really do have to go. I have to get up at dawn and teach Emily Dickinson to a bunch of upper-middle class crack addicts.

Professor Louis Levy

 * We're all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale, most of these choices are on lesser points. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, Human happiness does not seem to be included in the design of creation. It is only we, with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even find joy from simple things, like their family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more.

 * When we fall in love, we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom you were attached as children. On the other hand, we ask our beloved to correct all the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted on us. So, love contains in it the contradiction, the attempts to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past.

 * I've gone out the window.

 * But we must always remember that when we are born we need a great deal of love in order to persuade us to stay in life. Once we get that love it usually lasts us. But the universe is a pretty cold place. It is we who invest it with our feelings. And under certain conditions, we feel the thing isn’t worth it any more.

Lester

 * If it bends it's funny. If it breaks, it's not funny.

 * Idea for a farce. A poor...loser does a documentary of a great man and in the process learns some deep values.

 * I'll be honest. You're not my first choice.

 * Comedy is tragedy plus time.

Dialogue

 * Lester: If you play your cards right, you could have my body.
 * Halley: Wouldn't you rather leave it to science?

 * Halley: [about Lester] After all, he is an American phenomenon.
 * Clifford: Yeah, but so is acid rain.

 * Lester: I told you I'm putty in your hands.
 * Halley: What am I gonna do with a handful of putty?

 * Ben: What choice do you have if the woman is going to tell her? You have to confess the wrong and hope for understanding. Maybe Miriam was responsible in some ways too. You have to discuss it and hope for the best. And maybe you and Miriam can never go back to the old life; but, maybe there's a new one with maturity and understanding; maybe - maybe even a richer one.
 * Judah: You know, it's funny, for our entire adult lives, you and I have been having this same conversation in one form or another.
 * Ben: Yes, I know. Its a fundamental difference in the way we view the world. You see it as harsh and empty of values and pitiless. And I couldn't go on living if I didn't feel it, with all my heart, a moral structure with real meaning and - forgiveness. And some kind of higher power; otherwise, their's no basis to know how to live.

 * Halley: [on the philosopher Lewis Levy] He was very eloquent on the subject of love, didn't you think?
 * Clifford: I wish I had met him before I got married. It would've saved me a gall bladder operation.

 * Clifford: You must have had a pretty terrible marriage if you don't want to be asked out on any dates.
 * Halley: Well, no, I mean, he was great. You know, very brilliant. He's an architect. Real handsome and everything. But, if you're going to have an affair, not with my best friend, in my four poster bed, and they definitely didn't have to finish all my pistachio nuts.

 * Halley: [about Lester]: He wants to produce something of mine.
 * Clifford: Yeah. Your first child.

 * Ben: You fool around with her for your pleasure; then, when you think its enough, you want to sweep her under the rug.
 * Judah: There's no other solution, but Jack's men. I push one button and I can sleep again.
 * Ben: Could you sleep with that? Is that who you really are?

 * Sol Rosenthal: Whether it's the Old Testament or Shakespeare, murder will out!
 * Judah Rosenthal: Who said anything about murder?
 * Sol Rosenthal: You did.

 * Clifford Stern: I actually wrote you a love letter.
 * Halley Reed: I didn't get it.
 * Clifford Stern: It's probably just as well. I plagiarized most of it from James Joyce. You probably wondered why all the references to Dublin.

 * [Judah is telling Clifford about the murder, disguising it as an idea for a screenplay.]
 * Judah Rosenthal: And after the awful deed is done, he finds that he's plagued by deep-rooted guilt. Little sparks of his religious background, which he'd rejected, are suddenly stirred up. He hears his father's voice. He imagines that God is watching his every move. Suddenly, it's not an empty universe at all, but a just and moral one, and he's violated it. Now, he's panic-stricken. He's on the verge of a mental collapse, an inch away from confessing the whole thing to the police. And then one morning, he awakens. The sun is shining, his family is around him and mysteriously, the crisis has lifted. He takes his family on a vacation to Europe and as the months pass, he finds he's not punished. In fact, he prospers. The killing gets attributed to another person — a drifter who has a number of other murders to his credit, so I mean, what the hell? One more doesn't even matter. Now he's scott-free. His life is completely back to normal. Back to his protected world of wealth and privilege.
 * Clifford Sten: Yes, but can he ever really go back?
 * Judah Rosenthal: People carry sins around. Oh, maybe once in awhile he has a bad moment, but it passes. With time, it all fades.
 * Clifford Stern: Yeah, but now his worst beliefs are realized.
 * Judah Rosenthal: Well, I said it was a chilling story, didn't I?
 * Clifford Stern: I don't know. I think it would be tough for someone to live with that. Very few guys could live with something like that on their conscience.
 * Judah Rosenthal: People carry awful deeds around. What do you expect him to do, turn himself in? This is reality. In reality, we rationalize, we deny, or we couldn't go on living.
 * Clifford Stern: Here's what I would do: I would have him turn himself in. Then your story assumes tragic proportions. I mean, in the absence of a God, or something, he's forced to assume that responsibility himself. Then you have tragedy.
 * Judah Rosenthal: But that's fiction, that's movies. You see too many movies. I'm talking about reality. I mean, if you want a happy ending, you should see a Hollywood movie.

Talk:Serbian proverbs

Discussion if Serbian only
Just wanted to say that most (if not all) proverbs listed here as Serbian are really proverbs used by all the nations of former Yugoslavia (Slovenians, Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, Macedonians and Montenegrans), and their origin would be hard to trace to only one of this nations. -- —This unsigned comment is by 195.29.221.170 (talk • contribs) 12:45, 29 December 2004.

 * Directed by: John Carpenter. Written by Gary Goldman and David Z. Weinstein.

Some people pick the darnedest places to start a fight! taglines

Jack Burton

 * Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see." Besides that, it's all in the reflexes.
 * Just listen to the ol' "Porkchop Express" and take his advice on a dark and stormy night, alright? When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have you paid your dues, Jack?" "Yes, sir, the check is in the mail."
 * I'm not saying I've been everywhere, and I've done everything. But I do know this is a pretty amazing planet we live on here. And a man would have to be some kind of fool to think we're all alone in this universe.
 * Which Lo Pan? Little ol’ basketcase on wheels, or the ten-foot-tall roadblock?!
 * Would you stop rubbing your body up against mine? Because I can’t concentrate when you do that...
 * What does that mean? huh? ‘China is here?’ I don’t even know what the hell that means! All I know is this Lo Pan character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamned alley, while his buddies are flying around on wires, cutting everybody to shreds...and he just stands there, waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him?! With LIGHT coming out of his mouth?!
 * Look, I'm going to tell you about an accident and I don't wanna hear "act of God," okay?
 * Sit tight, hold the fort, keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn...call the president.
 * Everybody relax, I'm here.
 * Ol' Jack always says...what the hell?
 * Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earthquakes and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right in the eye and says "Give me your best shot. I can take it."

David Lo Pan

 * Mr. Burton, if you have an influence over your youthful friend, you'd better exert it now! Otherwise, I will have both of you rowed off to the hell where people are skinned alive! It's that simple, understand?!
 * This place is my tomb. I'm buried here. A young man, a king, a warrior, is entombed in this old man's crippled body. And all I need is a woman, Mr. Burton — a special kind of woman with dragon-green eyes — to make me whole and young again, so that I may rule the universe from beyond this grave!
 * There are always others, are there not? You seem to be one who knows the difficulties between men and women, how seldom it works out. And yet we all keep trying, like fools!
 * Who are these people? Friends of yours, huh?! Now this really pisses me off to no end!
 * Oh, Miao Yin. I need you Miao Yin — you whose eyes flash like emerald lightning. Ching Dai! Make me flesh again soon.
 * Indeed!

Dialogue

 * Wang Chi: Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here's to America's colors, the colors that never run.
 * Jack Burton: May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

 * Thunder: Who?
 * Jack Burton: Jack Burton! Me!

 * Jack Burton: My truck! Son of a bitch must pay!

 * Jack Burton: [pointing to Chinese writing in an elevator] What does that say?
 * Wang: Hell of Boiling Oil.
 * Jack Burton: You're kidding.
 * Wang: Yeah, I am. It says "Keep Out."

 * Jack Burton: I don't get this at all. I thought Lo Pan—
 * David Lo Pan: Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to "get it!"

 * Egg Shen: Can see things no one else can see. Do things no one else can do.
 * Jack Burton: Real things?
 * Egg Shen: As real as Lo Pan!
 * Jack Burton: Hey, what more can a guy ask for?
 * Egg Shen: Oh, a six-demon bag!
 * Jack Burton: Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?
 * Egg Shen: Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!

 * Margo: Oh come on, Jack. (points at the knife he is cleaning) You're not a one man army!
 * Jack: I know but still. You're staying top-side with Eddie and Uncle Chu!
 * Margo: (points to where Eddie is sitting) Eddie? But he...
 * Jack: I know. He has a crush on ya!

 * Gracie: (Jack's truck starts) What was that?
 * Jack: 6.9 on the Richter scale!

Enemy of the State

Enemy of the State is a 1998 film about a lawyer that has his life destroyed by a rogue NSA manhunt when he accidentally stumbles upon evidence of political assassination.
 * Directed by Tony Scott. Written by David Marconi.

The only privacy left is inside your head (taglines)

Robert Clayton Dean

 * [talking to wife on the way back from work] You're the only woman for me. You and Janet Jackson.
 * [explaining himself to Mr Pintero's lieutenant when a new article tags him and Pintero] Actually, I believe the slur "shyster" is generally reserved for Jewish attorneys. I believe the proper slur for someone like myself would be "eggplant".

Thomas Reynolds

 * [to Edward Lyle] You won the war. Now we're fighting the peace. It's a lot more volatile. Now we've got ten million crackpots out there with sniper scopes, sarin gas and C-4. Ten-year-olds go on the Net, downloading encryption we can barely break, not to mention instructions on how to make a low-yield nuclear device. Privacy's been dead for 30 years because we can't risk it. The only privacy that's left is the inside of your head. Maybe that's enough. You think we're the enemy of democracy, you and I? I think we're democracy's last hope. There's always going to be power.

Dialogue

 * Robert Clayton Dean: I was shopping for some lingerie. That's still legal, isn't it?
 * David Pratt: Were you buying that for your wife?
 * Dean: No, I was picking something up for myself, I do a little cross dressing on the weekends. You know, you'd be surprised how a nice pair of edible panties can make a guy feel sexy.

 * [Brill has just trapped Dean in the elevator and policed him for transmitters]
 * Edward "Brill" Lyle: Is this about me? Do they know me?
 * Robert Clayton Dean: Who's them?
 * Lyle: Do they know me??
 * Dean: [emotionally charged] I don't know what you're talking about!
 * Lyle: You're either very smart or incredibly stupid.

 * [Dean and Brill are on the rooftop, and a surveillance chopper is coming in]
 * Edward "Brill" Lyle: You have something they want!
 * Dean: I don't have anything!
 * Lyle: Maybe you do and you don't know it! You stay away from Rachel and you stay away from me, you come near either one of us, I'm gonna kill you. Get rid of your watch.
 * Dean: My wife gave me this for our anniversary.
 * Lyle: Then keep it. [as he walks off] Stay off the phone!

 * [Brill introduces Dean to his Faraday cage and starts activating his equipment]
 * Edward "Brill" Lyle: The government's been in bed with the entire telecommunications industry since the forties. They've infected everything. They get into your bank statements, computer files, email, listen to your phone calls...
 * Robert Clayton Dean: My wife's been saying that for years.
 * Lyle: Every wire, every airwave. The more technology used, the easier it is for them to keep tabs on you. It's a brave new world out there. At least it'd better be. [analyzes disk] There it goes. It's some kind of simple encryption.
 * Dean: Oh, conspiracy theorists of the world, unite.
 * Lyle: It's more than a theory with me. I'm a former conspirer. I used to work for the NSA. I was a communication analyst. Listen to international calls, calls from foreign nationalists. That GPS tracking device we found in your cellular telephone? I designed one of the first models in that series. Fort Meade has 18 acres of mainframe computers underground. You're talking on the phone and you use the word, "bomb," "president," "Allah," any of a hundred keywords, the computer recognizes it, automatically records it, red flags it for analysis; that was twenty years ago. You know the Hubble Telescope that looks up to the stars? They've got over a hundred spy satellites looking down at us. That's classified. In the old days, we actually had to tap a wire into your phone line. Now calls bouncin' around on satellite, they snatch right out of the air.

 * Robert Clayton Dean: What the hell just happened?
 * Edward "Brill" Lyle: I blew up the building.
 * Dean: Why?
 * Lyle: Because you made a phone call!

 * [after reconciling their differences, Brill and Lyle go to a diner]
 * Edward "Brill" Lyle: You're the threat now. Just like I was.
 * Robert Clayton Dean: Threat to whom? To them?
 * Lyle: No. To your family, your friends, everybody you know, everybody you meet. That's why I went away and didn't come back. You've got to go away, Robert.
 * Dean: No, I don't think so. This is my life, I worked hard for it and I want it back. I grew up without a father, I know what that is. And I will not allow my family to go through that.
 * Kid at Nearby Table: Mommy, I want to go home.
 * Lyle: Want to take a poke at me? Come on.
 * Dean: I don't hit senior citizens.
 * Lyle: Come here, Babe. Come here, come on. [cat cuddles up] In guerrilla warfare they taught us to use our weaknesses as strengths.
 * Dean: Such as?
 * Lyle: Well, if they're big and you're small, then you're mobile and they're slow. You're hidden and they're exposed. You only fight battles you know you can win. That's the way the Vietcong did it. You capture their weapons and you use them against them the next time. That way they're supplying you. You grow stronger as they grow weaker.

 * [During the standoff at Pintero's restaurant]
 * Thomas Brian Reynolds: What will it take for us to walk out of here with that video tape?
 * Boss Paulie Pintero: The end of the world.

 * Congressman Sam Albert: [on TV] We knew that we had to monitor our enemies. We've also come to realize that we need to monitor the people who are monitoring them...
 * Carla Dean: Well who's gonna monitor the monitors of the monitors?
 * Robert Clayton Dean: I wouldn't mind doing a little... "monitoring" myself.
 * Carla: Yes, and you've got lots and lots of... "monitoring" to do.
 * Eric Dean: Are you guys talking about sex?
 * Robert: [surprised with Carla] Boy!
 * Eric: Oh no, it's time for dinner.
 * Robert: Get in there and eat your dinner, no more hanging with Dylan.

The A Team

The A-Team (1983–1987) is an NBC television series, created by Stephen J. Cannell, featuring the adventures of a band of ex-military men who, unfairly accused of a wartime crime, evade government pursuers while doing good deeds for assorted people across the United States.

Introduction

 * Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

(Originally "In 1972 a crack commando unit ..." but changed for later retransmissions.)

Mexican Slayride, Part 1 and 2 [1.1 - 1.2]

 * B.A. Baracus: [about Hannibal] You learn to love him, Mama. But it takes a long time.
 * Amy: That's the same thing he said about you.

 * Face: I got us a Gulfstream. Can you fly it?
 * Murdock: Hey, brother. If it's got wings, I can fly it.
 * Face: Great.
 * Murdock: Hey, Face, what's a Gulfstream?

 * ''Hannibal is strapping an unconscious B.A. to his seat on the plane.
 * Amy: Excuse me, but what are you doing?
 * Hannibal: We're tying him up so he won't kill us if he comes-to.
 * Amy: [looking puzzled] I see. Excuse me again, but isn't he one of you, I mean isn't he on the team?
 * Face: Yes.
 * Amy: So then why do you have to drug him?
 * Hannibal: He hates the pilot.
 * Amy: Hates the pilot? Why?
 * Face: Because our pilot is insane.
 * Amy: [pointing at the cockpit] So he's up there now, flying us?
 * Face: Yes.
 * [Murdock, who should be flying the plane, walks past singing. Face gets up and leads him back to the cockpit]
 * Face: What a kidder!
 * Amy: I'm not sure you are exactly what I bargained for.
 * Hannibal: Let's get something straight right now. You want your friend back. The authorities shined you on, so you went out and hired a bunch of gun-fighters. Now, if you wanted someone with good manners, you should've hired an English butler.
 * Amy: The pilot's really insane?
 * Hannibal: We think so.
 * Amy: Are you still being chased by the government?
 * Hannibal: That's right.
 * Amy: What I don't understand, is why you're not living in Switzerland, where it's safe?
 * Hannibal: Because we're not Swiss. We're Americans. We've got a little problem right now. But we'll work our way out of it somehow. In the mean time, we stick together and do what we do best.

 * [Murdock is singing in the cockpit when Hannibal joins him]
 * Hannibal: The sleeping giant awakes.
 * [Murdock stops singing and stares shocked at Hannibal.]
 * Hannibal: How fast can you bring us down?
 * Murdock: You just landed, brother.

 * Amy: Why'd he [B.A.] hit you?
 * Hannibal: Hit me? If he hit me, I'd be in the hospital.

Children of Jamestown [1.3]

 * Martin James: The Lord shall test them! They shall walk through the valley of his wrath.
 * Hannibal: Now you're beginning to walk through the valley of my wrath, Preacher.

 * [Face gets hit hard in the face]
 * Hannibal: [holds up three fingers] How many fingers am I holding up?
 * Face: Blue.

 * B.A. Baracus: We're comin' in, Jack! Now get the First Aid Kit, before you have to use it on yourself!!

Pros and Cons, [1.4]

 * B.A. Baracus: We vote because I say we vote!

 * [Murdock is being shown Rorschach ink blots by a prison psychiatrist. The first picture is a butterfly]
 * Murdock: Tractor.
 * Psychiatrist: You don't really see a tractor, do you, Murdock?
 * Murdock: [smiles] You're right. I was just guessing.
 * Psychiatrist: Well, don't guess. What does it look like?
 * Murdock: Ink. It looks like ink. See, I have done this most of my life off and on and I don't see nothin', so I just guess.
 * Psychiatrist: It looks like a butterfly, don't it? See, there's the wings and there's the head.
 * Murdock: Hey, yeah. Yeah! I see that. Yeah, it's a butterfly!
 * Psychiatrist: Good. Butterfly. Now what is this?
 * [Psychiatrist puts another picture on the table.]
 * Murdock: Garbage bag. Empty garbage bag.
 * (Psychiatrist rolls eyes and motions for the guard to take Murdock away.)
 * Murdock: I'd like a trash bag, please, if you have one. I really could use a trash bag.

 * Murdock: [from inside padded cell] TRAAAAASH BAGS! I want TRAAAAASH BAGS! I want 'em! I want 'em!!
 * Psychiatrist: [To guard] Do we have any trashbags? Maybe he'll put his head inside and suffocate.

 * Murdock: TRAAAAAASH BAGS! I want TRAAAAAASH BAGS! [gets one and stops shouting]
 * Psychiatrist: We give him one, and he shuts up for a couple of hours.
 * Face: Hmmm. Interesting. If I could talk to him, I might be able to determine if it's a genuine neurotic fixation or if our boy is trying to section eight his way into the soft walls of a prison psych ward.
 * Psychiatrist: I sure would appreciate that. None of us can get any sleep around here.

 * [Murdock and Hannibal are seated in chairs will trash-bag balloons tied to them]
 * Hannibal: Murdock, how'd I let you talk me into this?
 * Murdock: I don't know, I have intermittent memory loss!
 * [Takes off over prison wall]

A Small and Deadly War [1.5]

 * Police Inspector Ed Maloney: [while being confronted by Captain Stark and his men] Cops? You’re not cops. You’re killers. You’re murderers killing for money.

 * Police Inspector Ed Maloney: I've been a cop too long to let this one go by. There are 8,000 good guys on the force in this town. And I'm not going to let one crud like Stark muck it up for the rest of them.

 * B.A.: We're offline Hannibal, all four mics are dead!
 * Hannibal: [from behind a newspaper] Looks like they found them.
 * Face: Great, that means we've lost the edge. Up against guys like these that, that doesn't make me feel too good.
 * [Murdock opens his mouth to say something]
 * B.A.: Shut up, Murdock! Shut up!... I told you this plan stinks!

 * Murdock: [sings] Did you ever see a hearse go by and think that someday you'd surely die. They put you in a little box and cover you over with dirt and rocks.

Bad Day At Black Rock [1.6]

 * [Face and Hannibal get arrested by a county cop.]
 * Cop: 'Course you realize when we run these prints through we are gonna find out who you guys are.
 * Hannibal: I told you before, we're ballet dancers.
 * Face: That guy over at Doc's is our choreographer.
 * Hannibal: Yeah, we had a nasty audience. I don't think they liked our "pas de deux". Opened up on us from the first row with a .50-caliber machine gun.

The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas [1.7]

 * [Hannibal has been captured by the episode's antagonists, and is about to be knocked out with a punch]
 * Hannibal: It's always darkest just before it goes totally black.

Holiday In The Hills [1.9]

 * Face: [after their left wing started releasing smoke and the plane's altitude reader, fuel indicator, compass, and other things started messing up] Murdock, what's gonna happen?
 * Murdock: Looks like we're gonna crash.
 * Face: No, c'mon, really. What's gonna happen?
 * Murdock: [Their right engine stops] Looks like we're gonna crash... And die.

West Coast Turnaround [1.10]

 * Hannibal: Murdock, B.A., take the right. Face, stay with me.
 * Face: Uh, Hannibal, if we're gonna fight, I'd really prefer to be teamed with B.A.
 * Murdock: Me too.
 * Hannibal: Are you guys saying you don't want to team up with me?
 * Face and Murdock: Yes!
 * Hannibal: Why?
 * B.A.: I'll tell you why. Because when you're on the jazz, man, you're dangerous!

 * Amy: [To B.A. after discovering her car is totaled] A couple of bolts and some new paint?
 * B.A.: [Indignant] Look, lady. I was with you, remember?

Till Death Do Us Part [1.12]

 * Murdock: Oh wow! You went to Hamburger Heaven! Home of Captain Bellybuster, America's Hero. Did ya get me a Bellybustin' Surprise Pack Hannibal, didja didja didja?
 * Hannibal: Ah, sorry Murdock. But...with 6 Tummy Tingler malts, look what you get free!
 * Murdock: A Captain Bellybuster cap! Out of the Blue I'm coming at you. Super Nutritious and Super Delicious!

Diamonds 'N' Dust [2.1]

 * Vanatta: What are you gonna do with us?
 * Face: Well, we were thinking maybe we'd tie you to a tree and leave you for the lions. They like a little snack at night.
 * Murdock: Yeah, they get the munchies, right after Carson.
 * Hannibal: Could try the old Indian trick.
 * Face: Stake 'em out over an anthill?
 * Hannibal: I've always liked it.
 * Face: Uh, I don't know. I'm not sure how I'd get the ants to go for these two.
 * Murdock: Oh, that's easy. Just stick an ice-cream cone right in their pocket.
 * Vanatta: You guys are crazy.
 * Hannibal: Oh, he's crazy. We're just bad-tempered. Okay, start walking.
 * Vanatta: What, you are letting us go?
 * Hannibal: For now.
 * Vanatta: We'll never make it back on foot.
 * Hannibal: Try it on your hands and knees.

 * Murdock: [sings] I'm Bogey the Bear, I'm covered with hair!

 * Murdock: I'm Bogey the B-- [Bogey gets his head shot off by gorillas] Oh you'll be sorry you did that! [opens up fire with a large machine gun]

Bad Time On The Border [2.4]

 * Face: You don't have a plan, do you?
 * Hannibal: Of course I have a plan. But it's a secret.

 * Hannibal: [to Prince] If you don't take your hand off of me, your family will wear black.

 * Prince: [referring to Face who pretends to be a guy called Jerry] Jones, Garcia, why don't you show Jerry here what a nice street we got outside? Just make sure when he lands he don't hit my new car.

When You Comin' Back, Range Rider? [2.5]

 * [Murdock is laying on the tracks to hear if the train comes.]
 * Murdock: No. No, I don't hear nothing.
 * [Murdock's horse nods.]
 * Murdock: Are you sure?
 * [Horse whinnies and Murdock listens again.]
 * Murdock: Well, I don't hear nothing but if you're positive that...
 * [B.A. grabs Murdock.]
 * B.A.: I'm warning you, I've had enough of you talking to your invisible friend.
 * [Murdock points at his horse.]
 * Murdock: Does he look invisible? You can't see HIM?
 * B.A.: Invisible or not, I don't want you talking nothing to nobody. Got that?
 * Murdock: Well, I'm sorry but I'm not the one with the bad attitude. When someone talks to me I feel obliged to respond in kind.
 * B.A.: It's not a somebody! It's a horse! And horses don't talk!
 * Murdock: [sings] A horse is a horse, of course and no one can talk to a horse, of course, unless of course (B.A. starts to strangle him) the horse, of course is the famous Mr. Ed.
 * Face: [on the radio] Murdock, any sign?
 * [Murdock chokes on the radio.]
 * Face: '[into the radio]' B.A., take your hand off Murdock's throat.
 * Murdock: Yeah! [into the radio] Ed says ...
 * [B.A. grabs the radio.]
 * B.A.: [into the radio] Ain't no train coming!
 * Face: [to Hannibal] Who's Ed?
 * Hannibal: Guess?
 * [Murdock's horse whinnies and train is audible.]
 * Murdock: [into the radio] Train coming, muchachos. And I ain't tellin' you who told us.

 * Murdock: [sings] I'm an old cowhand From Rio Grande and I learned to ride before I learned to stand.
 * B.A.: You don't shut up I'll knock you off that horse!

 * [After the A-Team freed some wild mustangs.]''
 * Murdock: Once again, the mysterious Rider of the Range deals another triumphant blow for the rights of the oppressed.
 * Face: [to a man] Don't ask.
 * Man: I wasn't going to.

The Taxicab Wars [2.6]

 * Murdock: Hi, I'm Dr. Vern, veterinarian. And this [holds his hand up where is a sock] is my talking dog, Socki. Wuff!
 * B.A.: And this is my talkin' fist. Its name is Knock-Out. Do you wanna hear Knock-Out speak?
 * Murdock: No.

There's Always A Catch [2.8]

 * Hannibal: If you lean on the Mayers once more you're gonna be shopping for some new kneecaps.

 * Decker and Captain Crane knock on the door to the Mayers. The son asks:  "Oh, you guys recruiting?"

Steel [2.10]

 * [Face calls Hannibal.]
 * Hannibal: Tomy Tillis? Crazy Tommy T?
 * Face: That's right. Crazy Tommy T. A guy like that that has mob connections out that wazoo, you know what I mean?
 * Hannibal: Yeah, but the question is, what's he got to do with Denham? And why put the pressure on Mickey to keep from putting his high-rise up?
 * Face: Whatever the reason, Hannibal. I don't think we wanna get in this guy's way. Crazy Tommy T hits a wall head on and there's nothing left but a pile of bricks.
 * Hannibal: Well, as soon as B.A. finishes paying off the crew, I'll take him and Murdock and I'll scout Denham. Now, you stick with Tillis. See what else you can find out.
 * Face: Stick with Tillis? Hannibal, I didn't plan on making a career out of this. You know, I'm in my 'vette. Not exactly the most inconspicuous car to do a tail job in.
 * Hannibal: That'll work for you. He'd never think that anybody could be crazy enough to follow him with a car as flashy as that.
 * Face: You don't believe that?
 * Hannibal: No, but thought you'd feel better. Bye.

 * Crazy Tommy T: [to Face] Talk to me or I'll have Jilly here use your head for an anvil.

 * Crazy Tommy T: You don't know you are messing with.
 * Hannibal: Oh, yeah! I do. You're the king cockroach around here. Now, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. In about a minute, I and my three friends are gonna unleash on you your worst nightmare. You're gonna wish the earth opened up underneath your feet and swallowed you whole.
 * Crazy Tommy T: What's the easy way?
 * Hannibal: Oh, that was the easy way.

The Maltese Cow [2.13]

 * Sun Yeng: [at her father’s side after the Lung Chin shoot up their restaurant] Dad. Are you okay?
 * Sam Yeng: [observing the damage] Yes, but our partners, they’re not going to like this at all.

In Plane sight [2.14]

 * [Carrie Hicks notices title of the book hold by Murdock.]
 * Carrie Hicks: “Abnormal Psychology”? Are you a psychologist, Mr. Murdock?
 * Murdock: Eh, no, ma'am, I'm insane.
 * Carrie Hicks Oh...

Say it With Bullets [2.16]

 * Face: Look Hannibal, there's about a hundred reasons why I hate this plan of yours, but my biggest objection, even bigger than my objection to letting someone else drive my 'vette, my biggest objection is sending the Golden Age of Television here to back up Tawnia while she's trying to scam a piece of scuzzy luggage like Harnett.
 * Murdock: Thanks for the support, O Facial one.

 * Colonel Decker: [on bullhorn] It's over, Smith. You lost.
 * Hannibal: And I was having such a nice day.
 * Face: Don't worry, he'll give us a minute like he always does.
 * Colonel Decker: [on bullhorn] You have thirty seconds to give up your weapons before we open fire.
 * Hannibal: Got to give the man credit. He's learning.

 * Hannibal: Are these the only guys in the van, Murdock?
 * Murdock: Yes, Sir. I checked for invisibles but they didn't have any with them.

Chopping Spree [2.19]

 * [Murdock's got a plant which lives in B.A.'s van. Then the van gets stolen.]
 * B.A.: Hey, man, he's taking my van!
 * Murdock: B.A., will you stop acting like a crybaby? ... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. The little guy's in the van. They've got my plant! He's been plantnapped. Oh, they'll probably cut off a leaf and send it to me to prove they've got him.

Timber! [3.5]

 * [A tree falls on Murdock.]
 * Murdock: [sings in pain] I'm a lumberjack, I'm ok. I got no legs, but what the hey.
 * Hannibal: How are you doing, Murdock?
 * Murdock: I think there is a tree on my leg.

 * Murdock: [sings] I'm a lumberjack, I'm ok. Sleep all night and then work all day. Wear my clothes just once a year. Smells real bad but I don't care. I'm a lumberjack, that's a fact.

 * Face: I'm allergic to bullets. Especially those headed into my direction.

Trouble on Wheels [3.7]

 * [Hannibal has directed the bad guys, Hoyt Plummer and Williams, into checking out "his old boss Crazy Willie Beano"]
 * Hannibal: Face, there's been a change in plan, I'm staying here.
 * Face: What did you tell them?
 * Hannibal: What else, I've got a crazy boss.
 * Face: Oh great, and you're not gonna be there to give the performance. Who are we gonna use?
 * Hannibal: Well, I told them he was crazy.
 * [Cut to the fake store, where Murdock acts as the crazy boss]
 * Murdock: I am Crazy Willie. Beano. Beano, y'know, rhymes with Dino? What's the matter, you don't understand English? Dino, everybody loves some... (Sees Williams trying to reach for a gun in his waistband) What's the matter, you think I'm wearing a piece? (Pats his underarms) I'm clean! I'm running a business here, not a shooting gallery!
 * Plummer: Alright, we're gonna make this nice and simple: we either get our truck back or we bury you underneath the store!
 * Murdock: Forgive me for not laughing, but I always find the baby's first step to be a very serious thing. Nobody comes in here and threatens me under my own roof. Especially when I'm eating a tuna-fish sandwich.
 * Williams: Smith said this guy was looney-tunes.
 * Murdock: Looney Tunes, huh? What other TV program do you watch regularly?
 * Plummer: Alright, I don't know what your game is, but we want that truck back!
 * Murdock: Hmph. The only thing that Crazy Willie ever gives back, is trouble. You mess around with one of my boys, I rip off one of your trucks. Fair is fair! (Knocks on the counter)
 * B.A.: (Emerges from the back room with a rifle slung over his shoulder) Can I help you with anything?
 * Murdock: This here's a friend of mine, we call him Mayhem.
 * Plummer: Alright, you want a war? We'll give you a war!
 * Murdock: (Takes out a deck of cards from his jacket) Alright, red and you're dead. Take one off the top! (Plummer takes a seven of spades) It's your lucky day! You don't even get to bleed on the carpeting. (Snatches the card back) Now you tell your friends I sell auto parts, and if they want some, they should come down here and see me. (Hands Plummer his plate and walks off) I'll provide the lunch.

Sheriffs of Rivertown [3.10]

 * Face: You better watch my back.
 * Murdock: Who's gonna watch mine?
 * [They walk across the room.]
 * Murdock: Face, your back. It's looking good.

 * [B.A. and Murdock were attacked by one of Boyle's men]
 * Hannibal: You're sure it was one of Boyle's men?
 * Murdock: Absolutely. It was that guy, Lupis. He's about 6'3', built like a bathtub.

 * Face: You want me to pick up WHO?
 * Hannibal: Eh ... Lupis. He works for Boyle. We saw him yesterday.
 * Face: Oh, yes. It's the big one, about 6'4', built like a chest of drawers?
 * Murdock: Yeah, that's the guy, guy. And you be careful. He almost killed B.A. He's at least 6'5', 240.
 * Hannibal: Now, I'm gonna check out his office. You check his house. If the guy Lupis shows, bag him.
 * Face: Wait, the guy's 6'6', 250 pounds. He almost killed B.A., and you want ME to bag him?
 * Hannibal: Sure.

 * [Final scene]
 * Face: (Drops his badge on the table next to the other two) Ah, sheriffs of Rivertown, I'm gonna miss this job.
 * Nikki: Hey, if it weren't for you guys, there wouldn't even be a Rivertown.
 * Craig: There wouldn't be a Craig Monroe either.
 * Nikki: So, if you ever come to Oklahoma, you should look us up. I'll fix you one of my special home-cooked meals. Just... do me a favor and promise not to make any fists?
 * Face: Yeah, well actually, fighting's not really my strong suit, I'm much more adapted to romantic endeavors. (They kiss)
 * Hannibal: If you don't wanna miss the plane, then you better get a move on.
 * Sonny: Yeah. (Picks up the suitcases) You ready, sis?
 * Nikki: Yeah.
 * Sonny: Thanks again.
 * Hannibal: Good luck.
 * Murdock: Adios amigos. (The Monroes leave)
 * B.A.: Speaking of planes, Hannibal. (Rises, grabs a stick; Hannibal, Face and Murdock back into a jail cell)
 * Murdock: B.A., you're not mad just because we flew you down here, are you?
 * Face: Now wait a minute, remember your oath as a deputy, not to hurt other deputies?
 * B.A.: I see three badges on the table, that mean you are civilians. I still got my badge. And as official law officer of Rivertown, I'm giving you guys two days in jail. (Locks the cell) I love it, when a plan comes together!

The Bells of St. Mary's [3.11]

 * Face: But Hannibal, rules are made to be broken!
 * Hannibal: Noses are also made to be broken, right, Face?

 * Face: The bigger they are, The harder they fall.
 * [B.A walks into the room]
 * B.A: The bigger they are, the harder they hit!

Beverly Hills Assult [3.23]

 * [Murdock pretends to be a crazy painter and brought off a deal. His partner wants to shake hands]
 * Murdock: Murdock does not shake hands, Murdock does not play sports, Murdock does not open canned food. Murdock paints.
 * Murdock: [holds up a pizza] Let us break pizza to cement the bargain.
 * Murdock: [holds up a pizza] Let us break pizza to cement the bargain.

 * Shawn: Mr. Murdock, welcome to your new studio.
 * Murdock: I don't get it. I've already got a studio. My studio and I go back a long way. Long before home personal video cassette recorders.
 * Shawn: While you're under contract with the gallery, this is your studio
 * Murdock: You don't seem to understand! I need my studio! I trained inspiration to find me at that studio! Now, how is it going to find me?

Mission of Peace [4.20]

 * [Face stole Rudi's wallet and shows him.]
 * Rudi: That's my wallet!
 * Face: That's right [reads the ID-card in the wallet] Charles Winston ... Wait a minute. Charles Wins ... THE Charles Winston? You're Charlie the Clip?
 * Rudi: You picked my pocket!
 * Face: No, I can't believe it. I picked the pocket of Charlie the Clip. You know who this is? I studied every scam you've ever done. This is the guy who sold the Brooklyn Bridge... to Brooklyn!

Dishpan Man [5.1]

 * Frankie: Hey, I couldn't help noticing that jacket's beginning to dry out and crack. Ever try tanning butter?
 * Murdock: Only on pancakes. It tastes pretty yucky.
 * Frankie: Huh?
 * Murdock: But it did turn my tongue a nice shade of brown.
 * Frankie: [to Face] Who is he?
 * Face: Well, uh, when we get on the plane you can sit next to him and if you figure it out, let us know.

Family Reunion [5.8]

 * [Murdock has just told Face that AJ Bancroft was his father]
 * Face: What kind of a friend are you?
 * Murdock: Well it still might not be true. It's possible that he isn't your father.
 * Face: Yeah, and it's possible he is. Why didn't you tell me Murdock, why? Why- why did you hide it from me?
 * Murdock: Because AJ begged me not to tell you, and I said OK, but if he didn't tell you, then I would.
 * Face: I see, so you tell me now, huh, after he's dead. Well your timing stinks!
 * Murdock: WELL HE WAS DYING! What do you want me to do?! It was a last request!
 * Face: Oh, I see... Well, it's nice to know where your loyalties are. And who else have you told? Hannibal, BA, Frankie, the newspaper boy?
 * Murdock: No no... Just you, me and... Stockwell knows.
 * Face: Stockwell? You- you told Stockwell about my father but you can't tell me?! I swear, you know, I don't understand what motivates you. And you know something? You were always the one that I thought I could count on.
 * Murdock: Well you still can count on me!
 * Face: Oh really?! Now because of you I may have lost the only chance I had to find out who my father was. Did you think it wasn't important?
 * Murdock: Face-
 * Face: Ah, just leave me alone...
 * Murdock: Listen, there's more to this story-
 * Face: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
 * [Face shoves Murdock to the ground. They stare at each other for a moment and Murdock gets up]
 * Murdock: Good… good, good. You're perfectly clear about that. But let me tell you one thing. You remember when I was in the van and you caught me on the phone? And I told you I was talking to Erica and I asked you for your advice. I said someone had come to me and they told me something about Erica but they begged me not to tell her about it, I said what should I do, you said to trust your gut instinct! Well it wasn't Erica I was talking about. It was you! And you were wrong! And let me tell you this: If AJ had not died, and if he had the opportunity to tell you, right now, here by this tree, you would be thanking me for holding back and not telling!
 * Face: Look, Murdock-
 * Murdock: No, don't say anything!... The one thing about you and me I've always liked… that's our fights. Because we don't have to… stumble over our lips… apologizing.

The Point of No Return [5.9]

 * Stockwell: Check us in, the name is Robbins.
 * Face: Come on Murdock, let's go.
 * Frankie: Hey! Where you guys going huh? Whats happening?
 * Face: Well, if you were in a strange town and you need to find somebody, who do you ask?... Cab driver.
 * Frankie: Ah. Yeah, but Stockwell said to stay right here and check in.
 * Murdock: Well, that's great, that's great, you just do that, that's great.
 * Frankie: To B.A: come on

 * Stockwell: Where are Peck and Murdock?
 * Frankie: Well, uh, Face saw a girl he knows and Murdock, he, he saw....
 * B.A: Somethin' in his head, aint' no tellin' what it was.
 * Stockwell: I believe my instructions to stand by were quite clear.
 * Frankie: Well, you know how impulsive boys can be.

 * Frankie: I've always thought of Johnny as some kind of ... Superman, ya' know?
 * B.A: There ain't no body!
 * Frankie: They don't always find a body, B.A.
 * Murdock: Hey Frankie, do you know something we don't know? Why are you trying to convince us that Hannibal's dead?
 * Frankie: I'm not! I'm just trying to face facts. Everything we've heard so far says that Johnny's not alive.
 * Face: Frankie, there's not a shred of hard evidence that says that he's dead.
 * Frankie: Yeah, except that goon back there who says he was killed!
 * Murdock: WELL YOU SHOULDN'T BE LISTENING TO GOONS!!!
 * Silent Pause
 * Murdock: I'm, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that g- goons are not a very reliable source of information you know.
 * Face: Yeah, see the bottom line here Frankie is that were not gonna believe Hannibal's dead until we get some proof.
 * Murdock: If there's no body, then Hannibal is alive.
 * Face: I think the key to this whole mess is Bobby, that little peddycab peddler.
 * Frankie: Yeah, how come you haven't let Stockwell in on that one!?
 * Murdock: Stockwell? Stockwell? Stockwell doesn't give a rats tail whether Hannibal is alive or dead!
 * B.A: You got that right crazy man.
 * '[Stockwell walks into the room]
 * Stockwell: O.K we're upgrading the status of this mission to Code Red. Now according to Colonel Smith's message, we've got 16 hours before the plutonium shipment changes hands. I have arranged for our friend back there to be picked up in a half an hour. So I want you to stay here until then.
 * Face: B.A and Frankie will uh, cover this end here for you, Murdock and I have something we've gotta check out.
 * Stockwell: No, you're not checking anything out until the prisoner is picked up. Then I want you to meet Alice and me at Hop Louie's. Understood?
 * [Pause]
 * Stockwell: Is there a problem?
 * Murdock: Yes. We do not believe that Hannibal is dead, General.
 * Stockwell: That's an interesting fantasy, but we don't deal in fantasies in this business.
 * Frankie: Fantasy? Whoa, whoa, whoa wait just a minute here. This situation is NO FANTASY!

 * Stockwell: Well, perhaps that was the wrong choice of words. No commander rests easily when one of his men has fallen. But men do die. Colonel Smith understood that. He took that responsibility. Now, we've got fifteen hours and fifty-eight minutes to find the plutonium, or it won't matter whether Hannibal Smith is alive or dead. The only thing that will matter, is whether he died in vain.
 * Another pause
 * Stockwell: Now, you went against my instructions and got involved in this peddycab mess. They tried to kill you.  Face and Murdock get up to leave while Stockwell has his back turned . Obviously our cover was blown the minute you stepped in the hotel.
 * [Stockwell loooks around to see Face and Murdock gone. Then he looks up at Frankie]
 * Frankie: Uh, Face saw a girl.
 * B.A: And Murdock saw something in his head.

The Spy Who Mugged Me [5.11]

 * Murdock (French accent): Orange juice, please. Shaken, not stirred. And I'd like a bottle of Dom Perignon '75.
 * Bartender: My apologies monsieur but we are temporarily out of stock. Will '78 suffice?
 * Murdock: Well I don't see why not.
 * Face (to Murdock using a earpiece): I'll tell you why not, because '78 is an abomination. Try '71.
 * Murdock: Except, I wouldn't wash my car with it. Try '71.

The Grey Team [5.12]

 * (Last lines of the show)
 * Murdock: Just think: if we get a pardon, we may never have to eat a knuckle sandwich again!
 * BA: I wouldn’t bet on it crazy man. Looks like Hannibal’s on the jazz again!
 * Face: Oh no…
 * Murdock: [to Hannibal] No, you tell me right now, you tell me right to my face, you tell me that you don’t have a plan.
 * Hannibal: Well, I...I was thinking, like Bernie and George. What are we gonna do when this thing’s over? I mean, what are we really qualified to do?
 * Face: Go after thugs in the park…
 * Hannibal: And outlaw motorcycle gangs…organized crime figures… why, there’s a world of slime-balls out there!
 * Murdock: I knew it. I just knew you had a plan.
 * Hannibal: Comforting, isn’t it?
 * BA: I'll get the van.

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is an American animated horror television series about adolescent monsters in training. The show focuses on three young monsters — Ickis, Oblina and Krumm — who attend an institute for monsters under a city dump and learn to frighten humans. Many of the episodes revolve around them making it to the surface in order to perform "scares" as class assignments.

Season 1, Episode 1 "The Switching Hour"

 * The Gromble: The results of last week's mid-terms are in, and you pus-mongers have really let me down this time! How hard could it be to scare the pants off an eight year-old? (pulls out pink pants with flowers) THIS WAS ALL YOU CAME UP WITH?!?!

 * The Gromble: I'll handle the discipline with one of three choices: Something Bad, Something Really Bad, or You Don't Want to Know!

 * [After Krumm scared the Trick-or-treaters by showing them his eyes]:
 * Krumm: What? They're just eyeballs.

Season 1, Episode 7, part A "Old Monster"

 * Ickis: All those stories he told were really great, are they all true?
 * The Gromble: Of course they were all true. Great monsters never lie.
 * Ickis: Even the one about the shoe store?
 * The Gromble: NO!
 * Ickis: But you just said...
 * [The Gromble glares. Ickis laughs nervously.]
 * Ickis: Well, maybe he, exaggerated a little...

Season 2, Episode 1 part A "Spontaneously Combustible"

 * The Gromble: Do you know what we call those who are afraid of that which they don't understand?! [Screaming at students angrily]
 * Oblina: Humans. [Said with disgust in her voice]

Season 2, Episode 1 part B "Curse of Katana"

 * [Krumm's fake eyes didn't work on the Viewfinder]
 * Ickis: Do you think we fooled him?
 * [The Gromble glares at this]
 * Oblina: I think we are going to have to get Krumm's *eyes*!

Season 2, Episode 3 part B "Krumm Gets the Dreaded Nolox"

 * [Krumm eats an old wind-up toy.]
 * Toy: The cow goes "moo". The duck goes "quack". The politician goes "I don't recall".

Season 3, Episode 12 part A "Wake Me When It's Over

 * Krumm: (repeated line) I think we need a new plan.

Season 4, Episode 13 part B "Rookie Monsters"

 * Krumm, Ickis, Oblina (stacking hands) Together forever!
