Issue 1

 * Elektra: The blues? You mean like, "my-dog-can't-get-a-job, my-truck-left-me, my-woman's-howling-at-the-kitchen-door" blues?
 * Phoebe: No, that's country, you fool.

 * Phoebe: Mel, back home we'd call you a klutz.
 * Melissa: Use a lot of Yiddish back in Texas, do you?

 * Melissa: I think I actually heard her heart make this "BOING!" sound.

Mission: Impossible (film)

Mission: Impossible is a 1996 film about an American agent, under false suspicion of disloyalty, who must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization.
 * Directed by Brian De Palma. Written by David Koepp and Robert Towne, based on the television series Mission Impossible, created by Bruce Geller.

Expect the Impossible

Ethan Hunt

 * Relax, Luther, it's much worse than you think.
 * [referring to CIA headquarters] This is the Mount Everest of hacks.
 * [testing decibel meter on his wrist] One. Two. Three. TOAST. TOAST. [Luther: [through radio] Check.] Good. Okay, Luther, I'm goin' in. Everest, man, you ready to plant the flag? [Krieger sneezes loudly and the meter fills up.] [Luther: Damn!] Krieger, from here on in, absolute silence.
 * [to Claire] WAKE UP, CLAIRE! JIM'S DEAD! THEY'RE DEAD! THEY'RE ALL DEAD!
 * If you're dealing with someone who's crushed, shot, stabbed, and detonated five members of his own IMF team, how devastated do you really think you're gonna make him by hauling Mom and Uncle Donald down to the county courthouse?
 * [Holding the wad of explosive chewing gum before jumping off a chopper in the Chunnel] RED LIGHT! GREEN LIGHT!

Eugene Kittridge

 * I want him manning a radar tower in Alaska by the end of the day. Just mail him his clothes.
 * What can we do, Barnes? Put a guy at the airport? How many identities do you think Hunt has? How many times has he slipped past customs, in how many countries? These guys are trained to be ghosts. We taught them to do it for Christ's sake.
 * Let's not waste time chasing after him; let's make him come to us. Everyone has pressure points, Barnes. You find something that's personally important to someone and... you squeeze.
 * Good morning, Mr. Phelps.

Others

 * Franz Krieger: Try any sleight of hand with my money and I'll cut your throat.
 * Jack Harmen: [referring to a stick of exploding gum] Stick of gum, right? No. Red light, green light. Come up against a lock you can't pick, you mash them together...[imitates an explosion] Hasta lasagna, don't get any on ya. You'll have about five seconds. Just don't chew it.
 * Max: I don't have to tell you what a comfort anonymity can be in my profession. It's like a warm blanket.
 * Senator John Waltzer: I want to know who these people are and how they're spending our taxpayers' money. We were living in a democracy the last time I checked.
 * Tape Recorder: This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.

Dialogue

 * Flight Attendant: Would you like to watch a movie, Mr. Phelps?
 * Jim Phelps: I prefer the theater.
 * Flight Attendant: Would you consider the cinema of the Ukraine?
 * Jim Phelps: Perhaps you'll choose one for me. [She gives him a cassette] Thank you.
 * [He plugs it in and starts it for a mission briefing]
 * Voice on Tape: Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The man you're looking at is Alexander Golitsyn, an attaché at our embassy in Prague. He is also a traitor. He has stolen one half of the CIA NOC list, a record of all our deep-cover agents working in Eastern Europe. For security reasons, the NOC list is divided in two. The portion that Golitsyn already has contains code names, but this half is useless without its mate, which matches the code names with their true names. It is this half which Golitsyn plans to steal from the embassy during a reception tomorrow night. Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to obtain photographic proof of the theft, shadow Golitsyn to his buyer, and apprehend them both. We've already dispatched a team selected from your usual group. Sarah Davies is already undercover, Jack Harmon can hack into any security system, Hannah Williams will handle surveillance, your wife Claire will cover transport, and Ethan Hunt will be your pointman as usual. He is now in Kiev and will rendezvous in Prague at a safehouse of your choosing. As always, should you or any member of your I.M. force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
 * [Jim blows smoke from his cigarette to cover the burning of the tape]

 * Jim Phelps: Any questions?
 * Ethan Hunt: Yeah. Could we get a cappuccino machine in here? 'Cause I don't know what you call this.
 * Jack Harmon: I call it cruel and unusual.
 * Claire Phelps: Hey, I made that coffee.
 * Ethan Hunt: Exactly. Is it possible that it's any worse than the sludge you made in that barn in Kiev?
 * Claire Phelps: [sarcastically] Thank you.
 * Jim Phelps: Take it easy on my wife's coffee.
 * Ethan Hunt: We missed you in Kiev, Jim.
 * Jim Phelps: Missed you too, Ethan.
 * Jack Harmon: You're off on one of your cushy recruiting assignments again?
 * Ethan Hunt: Yeah, where did they put you up this time? The Plaza?
 * Jim Phelps: Drake Hotel, Chicago.
 * Jack Harmon: Ooh! Punishing! 24-hour room service!
 * Ethan Hunt: Yeah, chauffeured cars.
 * Jack Harmon: Fat expense accounts.
 * Ethan Hunt: He's getting soft in his old age.
 * Jack Harmon: Yes he is, look at him.
 * Jim Phelps: All right. Now, listen, if that list gets out into the open, the names of all our agents in every country in Eastern Europe will be up for grabs to the highest bidders. Third World terrorists, arms dealers, drug lords, any and everybody who'd love to get rid of long-term coverts like us. If they're exposed, they'll be executed. So, I'll run the whole show from the crow's nest here. Everyone knows their roles. Let's punch out the details.

 * Sarah Davies: Tell me, Senator, do you all have someone on your staff named Jack?
 * Ethan Hunt [disguised as Senator John Waltzer, while Jack struggles to rig the fingerprint recognition system]: Jack... I believe we did have a Jack. An unreliable fellow as I recall. Constantly late, and behind in his work. I was forced to tie him behind one of my best stallions and drag him around my barn for a few days.
 * Jack Harmon: [seeing Hunt's point] Relax your crack, Foghorn, I'm working on it.

 * Ethan Hunt: Saved your ass again, Jack.
 * Jack Harmon: Give me a break, Pops.
 * Sarah Davies: Such a nice ass.
 * Jack Harmon: And a lonely ass.

 * [After losing his entire team, Ethan rushes to a pay phone and hotwires it to make a call]
 * Ethan Hunt: My God. [wiping blood from his hands]
 * Operator: Satcom seven.
 * Ethan Hunt: Central Europe, unsecured.
 * Operator: Designator?
 * Ethan Hunt: Bravo-echo-one-one.
 * Operator: Switching. [dials number]
 * Eugene Kittridge: This is Kittridge.
 * Ethan Hunt: Go secure.
 * Eugene Kittridge: Okay, go ahead.
 * Ethan Hunt: This is Ethan Hunt. They're dead.
 * Eugene Kittridge: What? Who's dead?
 * Ethan Hunt: My team. My team is DEAD!
 * Eugene Kittridge: Jesus.
 * Ethan Hunt: Golitsyn's gone. They knew we were coming, man. They knew we were coming and the disk is gone.
 * Eugene Kittridge: Are you intact?
 * Ethan Hunt: The disk is gone, did you....DO YOU READ ME? THE LIST IS IN THE OPEN!
 * Eugene Kittridge: Listen, I read you. Let's just bring you in safely, then we'll worry about that, okay? Were you followed?
 * Ethan Hunt: I don't think so. I don't think so.
 * Eugene Kittridge: Don't think. Be sure. Are you clean?
 * Ethan Hunt: [looks around] Yes.
 * Eugene Kittridge: Okay. Location Green, one hour. I'll be there myself.
 * Ethan Hunt: You're in Prague?
 * Eugene Kittridge: One hour. [hangs up]

 * [Ethan meets Kittridge at a restaurant]
 * Eugene Kittridge: I am...I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know how much Jim, in particular, meant to you, Ethan...personally as well as professionally.
 * Ethan Hunt: Yeah.
 * Eugene Kittridge: Here's a passport, visa. Usual drill. We'll work the exfiltration through Canada, debrief you at Langley. Throw the Prague police a bone or two. You know, toss them a few suspects....You follow me?
 * Ethan Hunt: Yeah, I follow.
 * Eugene Kittridge: I think we've lost enough agents for one night.
 * Ethan Hunt: You mean, I've lost enough agents for one night.
 * Eugene Kittridge: You seem hell-bent on blaming yourself, Ethan.
 * Ethan Hunt: Who else is left?
 * Eugene Kittridge: Yeah. I see your point.
 * Ethan Hunt: Why was there another team?
 * Eugene Kittridge: What?
 * Ethan Hunt: Of IMF agents at the embassy tonight.
 * Eugene Kittridge: I don't quite follow you.
 * Ethan Hunt: Well, see if you can follow me around the room. The drunk Russians on the embankment at 7:00 and 8:00...The couple waltzing around me at the embassy at 9:00 and 11:00...The waiter standing behind Hannah at the top of the stairs..Bow tie, 12:00...The other IMF team. You're worried about me. Why?
 * Eugene Kittridge: Well, for a little over two years we've been spotting serious blowback in IMF operations. We have a penetration. The other day, we decoded a message on the internet from a Czech we know as Max.
 * Ethan Hunt: The arms dealer.
 * Eugene Kittridge: That's right. Max, it seems, has two unique gifts: a capacity for anonymity and for corrupting susceptible agents. This time, he'd gotten to someone on the inside. He'd gotten himself in a position to buy our NOC list. An operation he referred to as "Job 314." The job he thought Golitsyn was doing tonight.
 * Ethan Hunt: But the list Golitsyn stole was a decoy.
 * Eugene Kittridge: That's correct. The actual list is secure at Langley. Golitsyn was a lightning rod. He was one of ours.
 * Ethan Hunt: This whole operation was a mole hunt. This whole operation was a mole hunt.
 * Eugene Kittridge: Yeah. The mole's deep inside. And, like you said, you survived. I want to show you something, Ethan. Since your father's death your family's farm has been in receivership, and now, suddenly, they're flush with over $120,000 in the bank. Your father's illness was supposed to have wiped out that bank account. Dying slowly in America, after all, can be a very expensive proposition. So...why don't we quietly get out of here and onto a plane? I can understand you're very upset.
 * Ethan Hunt: Kittridge, you've never seen me very upset.
 * Eugene Kittridge: All right, Hunt. Enough is enough. You have bribed, cajoled, and killed, and you have done it using loyalties on the inside. You want to shake hands with the devil, that's fine with me. I just want to make sure that you do it in hell!
 * [Ethan throws explosive gum on a large aquarium in the middle of the restaurant, shattering it and the windows and allowing him to escape]

 * Ethan Hunt: [face covered by hood] I thought I was going to see Max.
 * Matthias: You misunderstood. No one sees Max.
 * Ethan Hunt: Then what am I doing here?
 * Matthias: Allowing Max to see you and hear what you've got to say.
 * Ethan Hunt: I don't communicate very well through a shroud.
 * Matthias: If Max doesn't like what you have to say, you will be wearing that shroud indefinitely.
 * Ethan Hunt: [thinks a second] I'm willing to take the chance.
 * Matthias: Very well.
 * [Uncovers Ethan's face]
 * Max: Who are you and what are you doing here?
 * Ethan Hunt: I need $150,000.
 * Max: [Laughing] Oh, really?....And you thought if you simply showed up, I might give it to you?
 * Ethan Hunt: Why not? You gave Job 125.
 * Max: Hmmm..The penny drops. You are not Job...Job is not given to quoting scripture in his communications...Then there was it's tone, aggressive but playful. Job is not playful...So you are something of a paradox.
 * Ethan Hunt: Well, that depends.
 * Max: On what?
 * Ethan Hunt: Whether you like a paradox...I want $150,000 today.
 * Max: Ah Nah. That is quite out of the question.
 * Ethan Hunt: The disk Job sold you, it's worthless...It's bait, part of an internal mole hunt.
 * Max: And how might you know that?...Are you another Company man?
 * Ethan Hunt: Like Job?
 * Max: We're asking about you.
 * Ethan Hunt: I'm NOC...Was...Now, Disavowed.
 * Max: Why, may I ask?
 * Ethan Hunt: That is the question I want to ask Job.
 * Max: I don't know Job anymore than Job knows me.
 * Ethan Hunt: Even so...I'm sure you could arrange an introduction.
 * Max: Why should I?
 * Ethan Hunt: Because I can deliver the actual NOC list. The one you have is not only worthless, it's certain to be equipped with a homing device to pinpoint your exact location.
 * Max: Um Hmm.
 * Ethan Hunt: Boot it up. In anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, you'll have Virginia farm boys hopping around you like jackrabbits.
 * Max: It's easy to say the disk is worthless when you say I can't look at the information and see if it's worthless. Not a tenable position, sir.
 * Ethan Hunt: Okay. Use it. But...I'd suggest you pack first.
 * [Matthias boots up a laptop and inserts the disk]
 * Matthias: 26, 27. So far so good.
 * Max: Not so good for you, my friend.
 * Ethan Hunt: I'd say you've got about...two minutes.
 * Matthias: 32 and 33.
 * Max: Doesn't mean it's a signal. Could just be the hard drive heating up.
 * Matthias: 44 and 45.
 * [Kittridge and a team of agents raid the apartment but find nothing, while Max and her agents escape out a back door and take Ethan with them.]

 * [Ethan and Claire are recruiting for the mission]
 * Ethan Hunt: Simple game. Four players. Exfil opens the pocket, Cyber Ops lifts the wallet.
 * Franz Krieger: Bank?
 * Ethan Hunt: [shakes his head] IMF mainframe.
 * Franz Krieger: Where exactly is it?
 * Ethan Hunt: In Langley.
 * Luther Stickell: In Langley? The-one-in-Virginia Langley?
 * Franz Krieger: Inside CIA headquarters at Langley? [to Claire] Is he serious?
 * Claire Phelps: Always.
 * Franz Krieger: [scoffs] If we're going to Virginia, why don't we drop by Fort Knox? I can fly a helicopter right in through the lobby and set it down inside the vault. And it would be a hell of a lot easier than breaking into the goddamn CIA.
 * Luther Stickell: What are we downloading?
 * Ethan Hunt: Information.
 * Luther Stickell: What kind?
 * Ethan Hunt: Profitable.
 * Claire Phelps: Payment on delivery.
 * Luther Stickell: [doubtfully] I don't know. I just don't know.
 * Ethan Hunt: Well, this doesn't sound like the Luther Stickell I heard of. What'd they used to call you? The Net Ranger? Phineas Phreak? The only man alive who actually hacked NATO Ghost Com.
 * Luther Stickell: There was never any physical evidence that I had anything to do with that... with that... [smiles] ...that exceptional piece of work.
 * Ethan Hunt: You don't know what you're missing. This is the Mount Everest of hacks.
 * Luther Stickell: You're all kidding yourselves. Even with top-of-the-line crypto, Cray access, STU-3's...
 * Claire Phelps: [cuts him off] Krieger can get it. [to Krieger] Right?
 * Franz Krieger: It may take a little time.
 * Ethan Hunt: What the hell do you mean, a little time? That's not what Claire tells me about you.
 * [Krieger hesitates]
 * Luther Stickell: [to Krieger] Thinking Machine laptops? I'm talking about the 686 prototypes, with the artificial intelligence RISC chip.
 * Franz Krieger: Twenty-four hours.
 * Luther Stickell: [laughs] And, uh, I get to keep the equipment when we're done.
 * Ethan Hunt: Well, Luther, I guess you're all out of excuses.
 * Luther Stickell: [laughs] Hmm. Look, uh, I just can't hack my way inside. See, there's no modem access to the mainframe. It's in what we call a standalone, which means I'd have to be physically at the terminal.
 * Ethan Hunt: Relax, Luther. It's much worse than you think. The terminal is in a black-vault lockdown. [voice-over, the scene goes to William Donloe approaching the door to the computer vault] The only person allowed in the room has to pass through a series of security checks.
 * CIA Analyst William Donloe: [to keypad microphone] William Donloe.
 * Ethan Hunt: [voice-over] The first is a voice-print identification, and a six-digit access code. [Donloe enters a code; the door opens and he enters an office] This only gets him into the outer room. Next he has to pass a retinal scan. [Donloe removes his glasses and looks into a retinal scanner] And finally, the intrusion countermeasures are only deactivated by a double electronic key card... [Donloe inserts his ID card into a reader; cut to Hunt on the train] ...which we won't have. [Donloe then enters the vault and logs in at the terminal] Now, inside the black vault, there are three systems operating whenever the technician is out of the room. The first is sound-sensitive. Anything above a whisper sets it off. The second system detects any increase in temperature. Even the body heat of an unauthorized person in the room will trigger it if the temperature rises just a single degree. Now, that temperature is controlled by the air conditioning coming in through an overhead duct, 30 feet above the floor. That vent is guarded by a laser net.
 * [Stickell and Krieger trade uneasy looks; Donloe leaves the vault]
 * Ethan Hunt: [voice-over] The third system's on the floor and is pressure-sensitive. [Donloe shuts the door, activating the security systems] The slightest increase in weight will trigger the alarm. And any one of these systems, if set off, will activate an automatic lockdown. Now, believe me when I tell you, gentlemen, all three systems are state-of-the-art.
 * [A drop of condensation from Donloe's soda cup falls on the floor, triggering the alarm. Cut to the train.]
 * Luther Stickell: [After a stunned silence] And you really think we can do this?
 * [pause]
 * Ethan Hunt: We're going to do it.

 * [discussing the theft of the NOC list and the technician who was on duty at the time]
 * Eugene Kittridge: You and I know about this. That's where it stops, understand? It never happened.
 * Frank Barnes: What about him?
 * Eugene Kittridge: I want him manning a radar tower in Alaska by the end of the day. Just mail him his clothes.

 * [stops Krueger from stabbing a CIA man]
 * Ethan Hunt: Zero bodycount.
 * Franz Krieger: We'll see.

 * Eugene Kittridge: Hello, Max.
 * Max: My lawyers are going to have a field day with this. Entrapment, jurisdictional conflict...
 * Eugene Kittridge: Well, maybe we'll just leave the courts out of this one.
 * Max: I'm sure we can find something I have that you need.

 * Luther Stickell: Reach your folks? [Ethan nods] How do they feel?
 * Ethan Hunt: About what?
 * Luther Stickell: The apology from the Justice Department, VIP treatment. You know, the whole nine yards.
 * Ethan Hunt: Well, my mom was a little confused how the DEA could mistake her and Uncle Donald for a couple of dope smugglers in the Florida Keys. [holds up a glass of beer]
 * Luther Stickell: [holds up his glass] Cheers.
 * Ethan Hunt: To you, Luther. And being off the disavowed list.
 * Luther Stickell: Hey, I'm the flavour of the month. Why don't you come back with me?
 * Ethan Hunt: I just...don't know why I'd be doing it. Better go catch my flight. So, how does it feel to be a solid citizen again?
 * Luther Stickell: Man, I don't know. I'm gonna miss bein' disreputable.
 * Ethan Hunt: Well, Luther, if it makes you feel any better, I'll always think of you that way.

 * [last lines]
 * Flight Attendant: Excuse me. Mr. Hunt? Would you like to watch a movie?
 * Ethan Hunt: Oh, uh, no thank you.
 * Flight Attendant: Would you consider the cinema of the Caribbean? Aruba, perhaps?

Talk:Marilyn Manson

Unsourced

 * I was writing a lot of lyrics five or six years ago and the name Marilyn Manson, I thought really describes everything that I had to say, you know, male and female, beauty and ugliness, and it was just very American. It was a statement on the American culture, the power that we give to icons like Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson and since that's where it's always gone from there. It's about the paradox. Diametrically opposed archetypes and then good.

 * Parents and legislators love to blame people like us for corrupting the youth of this country, but the kids were corrupted long before we ever got to them.
 * I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.

 * I've seen the little tidal waves that I've caused in the music industry, and how people are becoming more evolved in their images. And there are a lot of new Marilyn Manson-esque people, but I don't get mad at those things. It's like there's one real Santa Claus, but there's a lot of fake ones at the mall.

Bowling for Columbine
Many discussions across the internet imply that Marilyn Manson was asked by Moore to talk to Harris and Klebold. Upon review of the actual "Bowling for Columbine" movie, Michael Moore is referring to the survivors of that April 20, 1999 Littleton, Colorado tragedy. Moore's question: "If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine or the people in that community, what would you say to them if they were here right now?"

Working Class Hero
The following quotes are not by MM but by John Lennon's "Working Class Hero", also covered by MM:

- Working-class hero is something to be

- First you must learn how to smile as you kill...

- If you wanna be a hero, just follow me

Major changes
I made some major changes to this quote page, as 1: Many of the unsourced quotes were easily recognisable, so I put them in sourced 2: I put the sourced quotes in order of song and album, with non-lyrics at the end

The problem is, there are now too many lyrics for my liking. This is not a lyrics page. Sooooo... I may delete some at a later stage; the 'Man that you fear' entries, for example, could almost be combined into one larger chunk. I am also somewhat reticent about the number of facile Holy Wood quotes, compared to the very few from Portrait. The Antichrist and Mechanical quantities aren't too bad, though as I said many of the Antichrist ones could be combined.--Artsfiend 10:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Regarding the lyrics. I agree that they should be cut a little but due to the vast nature of quote-ing vocalists I think all singers should have a lyric section.--213.176.148.218 03:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

There are a lot of quotable lines from Golden Age of Grotesque which are not listed here. "Use Your Fist and Not Your Mouth" is one song I'd definitely pull quotes from.

Hoosiers

Hoosiers is a 1986 film about a volatile coach and a former star player-turned alcoholic leading a small-town basketball team on an improbable run to the Indiana high school championship game. The film is loosely based on the story of the 1954 Indiana state champions, Milan High School.
 * Directed by David Anspaugh and written by Angelo Pizzo.

They needed a second chance to finish first.

Coach Norman Dale

 * [to Jimmy Chitwood] You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I'd do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I'd just push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the school's, not the townspeople, not the team's, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose. Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this: I don't care if you play on the team or not.

 * I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights for the next 4 months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team.

 * Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important than the other.

 * Stick with your man. Think of him as chewing gum. By the end of the game, I want you to know what flavor he is.

 * There's a, uhm, tradition in tournament play to not talk about the next step until you've climbed the one in front of you. I'm sure going to the State finals is beyond your wildest dreams, so let's just keep it right there. Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, their fancy uniforms, and remember what got you here. Focus on the fundamentals that we've gone over time and time again. And most important, don't get caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In my book, we're gonna be winners! OK?!

Opal Fleener

 * [to Coach Dale] Sun don't shine on the same dog's ass every day, but, mister you ain't seen a ray of light since you got here.

Dialogue

 * Coach Dale: You know, if everyone is as nice as you, country hospitality is gonna get an awful name.
 * Myra Fleener: What a pleasant thing to say.

 * Coach Dale: First of all, let's be real friendly here, okay? My name is Norm. Secondly, your coaching days are over.
 * George: Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with.
 * Coach Dale: Translate. That some sort of threat?
 * George: I don't know why Cletus drug your tired old bones in here, he musta owed you somethin' fierce. Fact is, mister, you start screwin' up this team, I'll personally hide-strap your ass to a pine rail and send you up the Monon Line!
 * [George angrily turns and storms out of the gym]
 * Coach Dale: Leave the ball, will you, George? [to himself] OK, let's see what kind of hand I've been dealt.

 * [Strap is continuing his prayer as the team gets ready to leave the locker room]
 * Coach Dale: Strap? [to Rade] How long is he going to go on like this?
 * Rade Butcher: I don't know. He'll come when he's ready, not before.
 * Coach Dale: Hopefully that'll be sometime before tip-off.

 * Coach Dale: [as Rade gets up to check in the first game after Merle fouls out, even though Coach Dale has benched him] Where are you going? [Rade, puzzled, looks at him] Sit down.
 * Rade Butcher: You gotta have five out there!
 * Coach Dale: Sit... down.
 * Referee: You need one more, coach.
 * Coach Dale: My team is on the floor.

 * Myra Fleener: [about Jimmy] Leave him alone, all right? He's a real special kid and, and I have high hopes for him and... I think if he works really hard, he can get an academic scholarship to Wabash College and can get out of this place.
 * Coach Dale: Why, do you have something against this place?
 * Myra Fleener: A man your age comes to a place like this, either he's running away from something or he has nowhere else to go.
 * Coach Dale: What I'm doing here has nothing to do with you.
 * Myra Fleener: Just stay away from Jimmy. I don't want him coaching in Hickory when he's fifty.

 * Myra Fleener: [about Jimmy Chitwood] You know, a basketball hero around here is treated like a god, er, uh, how can he ever find out what he can really do? I don't want this to be the high point of his life. I've seen them, the real sad ones. They sit around the rest of their lives talking about the glory days when they were seventeen years old.
 * Coach Dale: You know, most people would kill... to be treated like a god, just for a few moments.

 * Rollin: [as Jimmy walks in on the town meeting that determines Coach Dale's fate] What can I do for you, Jimmy?
 * Jimmy Chitwood: I got something to say.
 * Rollin: All right, you better say what you've got to say.
 * Jimmy Chitwood: [Crowd buzzes] I don't know if it'll make any change, but I figured it's time for me to start playing ball. [Crowd cheers.]
 * George: [above crowd noise, pointing to Dale] I told you, once we got rid of him!
 * Jimmy Chitwood: But, there's just one thing... I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go. [Crowd gasps.]
 * George: Uhhh, the coach is ... dismissed by a vote of 68 to 45...
 * Opal Fleener: [jumping to her feet] I think we should vote again!
 * Rollin: All those in favor of the coach staying, say 'Aye' [majority of crowd says 'Aye'] all opposed... [a handful say 'nay', tears up George's tally sheet with a grin] ...Coach stays! [George shakes head; Norman is swarmed by well-wishers]

 * Everett Flatch: [Shooter is coaching the team at a critical moment after Coach Dale was ejected] You think number four is gonna take their last shot, Dad?
 * Wilbur 'Shooter' Flatch: [Nervously] Yeah, probably... they been pickin' low all night. [Straightens up; he has the answer] Rade, let yourself get taken out! [Rade looks at Shooter, astonished.] Uh, Buddy, you drop down and take his place! [Buddy nods] Close that lane! [team breaks huddle]
 * [Buddy Walker steals the ball as he predicted]
 * Wilbur 'Shooter' Flatch: Time! Time! [Brisk and confident] C'mon in, c'mon in. Alright, now listen to me. This is the last shot that we got! Alright? We're gonna run the picket fence at 'em! Merle, you're the swingman, Jimmy, you're solo right! Everett, Merle should be open swinging around the the end of that fence! Now, boys, don't get caught watchin' the paint dry!

Talk:Superman II

Reorganization and major corrections
I've done some major reorganization and corrections of the material here. UDScott did an excellent job restructuring the IMDb quote set into a Wikiquote format to create this article, but unfortunately, the raw material included all of IMDb's wording and punctuation errors and total lack of chronological order. (That's a big problem with IMDb — it has the same anyone-can-contribute philosophy as Wikiquote, but it's much easier to add than to correct, and there is little if any fact-checking by the IMDb staff who screen contributions.)

All quotes from the movie are in the Dialogue section now, with a few notable ones also cited at the top under character headings. (This way, the article serves two purposes well: to provide the most notable one-liners, and to show where in the film and in what context every single quote is.)

I also took some trouble to flesh out some dialog segments to counteract the proliferation of erroneous quotes on other websites. I assure readers that what is in the article as of this moment is as close as I can get to the exact wording and phrasing of the film (as shown on the Superman II DVD). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:15, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Jeff -- you did a wonderful job in getting the quotes right and I'm glad you had better source material. This is a much better representation of the film. Do you have any recommendations on better quote sources for films? Sometimes I am able to find the actual script, but other times, I am left only with IMDB (which, as you said, has its limitations) or reviewing the film. Just wondering...UDScott 14:31, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks, UDScott! To summarize what I've just posted on your talk page:
 * IMDb is the best of a bad lot, since they have a screening staff (even though it's understaffed).
 * Google-searching for known exact phrases often leads to accurate transcriptions, which can also be used as the starting point of a Wikiquote article. (Excerpts only, though!)
 * If you use an original source (like DVD or uncut recording) to get a known exact quote, you might as well continue on to organize and verify the quotes you do find.
 * Scripts are useful, but are often wrong in places due to on-set changes. (You'd be amazed how different dialog from Firefly and Blackadder scripts sometimes are from the actual episodes!)
 * ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:32, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Recommend splitting
I believe the two versions of the film should be split into two pages (with references to each other in a 'See also' section). This would allow for proper formatting of them based on the film template. ~ UDScott 21:33, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Ultimate X-Men

Ultimate X-Men is a superhero comic book published by Marvel Comics, which started in 2001.

Issue 3

 * [Toad jumps on top of Cyclops as he tries to rescue the presidents daughter.]
 * Toad: Whoever told you that tight little t-shirt doesn't make you look like the team pansy was lying, Cyclops.
 * [He leaps into the air just as Storm and Iceman arrive.]
 * Toad: You're next, by the way, you stupid looking american cow.

 * Storm: This is for calling me American, you skinny, English jerk!
 * [She kicks Toad in the face.]:

 * [Jean Grey has just congratulated Wolverine on saving the President's daughter.]
 * Wolverine: I'm thinking of a telepathic red-headed 19-year-old. But she's wasting her time with a loser who brushes his teeth six times a day.

Issue 5

 * [Magneto has explained his agenda to Cyclops.]
 * Cyclops: You sound like Adolf Hitler.

Issue 16

 * Opening caption: Land's End, Scotland.
 * [In our universe, Land's End is in Penwith, Cornwall, England ]

Issue 17

 * Iceman: What the heck are the Welsh?
 * Betsy Braddock: A quaint, little people just west of England, Iceman. Picture the Scots without the sex appeal or the Irish without the laughs and you've pretty much got them nailed.

 * Moira McTaggart: The people who fund Charles' work hope that some of them will graduate to the Westchester facility, of course, but I'm afraid that's still a long way off for even the best of them.
 * Storm: What do you mean the people fund his work? Xavier told us he paid for the school, the planes, and all the other stuff out of the money his parents left him.
 * McTaggart: smirking: Really? Well, that must have been quite an inheritance, Storm. Who did he tell you his mother and father were?  Bill and Melinda Gates?

 * [Opening Caption, in thundering rain]: Muir Island.
 * Storm: [holding an umbrella, looking annoyed] If this is Scotland, it stinks.

Issue 3 (Ultimate War)

 * Captain America: Lets go kick their heads in.

Issue 4 (Ultimate War)

 * Storm: You think you can handle this guy all by yourself if I take care of the people outside, Peter?
 * Colossus: Do not worry about me, Ororo... Nothing can hurt me when I am in solid steel form. Not even this guy.

Iron Man/Stark: GOD ALMIGHTY!

 * Xavier: Beast! Why are we taking a detour through the training arena? We're supposed to be heading for the X-Jet, boy!
 * Beast: Just hitting them with everything I can think of, sir! Setting the fight simulator for ninja assassin is our best bet of slowing them down!
 * Hawkeye: What the hell?!
 * Rabbi-Ninja Hologram: In answer to your question, my young friend, Judaism teaches that the first five books of the Bible were dictated word-for-word by God to his servant Moses.
 * (The 'ninja assassin' setting releases katana wielding Orthodox Jews)

 * Iron Man/Stark: Get away from me you Neanderthal! Have you any idea how much this armor actually costs?
 * Wolverine: Ah, shut up Stark! You can afford it!

Return of the King

 * [After Jean Grey blasts the nuclear radiation into the sky]
 * Civilian:  You guys rule!
 * [Jean Grey is confused]
 * Jean Grey: I think I felt more comfortable when they were throwing the bricks and bottles at us.

Issue 35

 * [Wolverine is being stalked by Weapon X assassins]
 * Peter Parker: That's who did that to you?

Issue 37

 * Daredevil: We have to get away from this van!
 * Spider-Man: Sundance, you go first!

 * Spider-Man: Nobody gets me.

Issue 40

 * [Angel has just entered, an Adonis of a man]
 * Shadowcat: Dibs.
 * Storm: Stop it, Kitty.

Issue 46

 * [Angel and Nightcrawler inform Jean-Paul he is a mutant.]
 * Jean-Paul Beaubier: Great! Sophomore year, I realise I'm gay, and now you're telling me I'm a mutie?
 * Angel: Um, you may want to live the life for a bit before you start slinging derogatory terms like that, even if you're trying to reappropriate them or whatever.
 * Nightcrawler: [Disapprovingly] Gay?

 * Angel: Jean-Paul, we've been sent to invite you to the Xavier Institute for Gifted Children, a school in Westchester created by and for our kind.
 * Jean-Paul Beaubier: "Our kind?" God, you people are worse than my mom. As soon as I came out of the closet, she tried to make me enroll at Harvey Milk.
 * Angel: I'm sorry?
 * Jean-Paul Beaubier: It's this "special" high school just for gay kids, where we can supposedly get an education without being harassed by idiots. But you know what? I'd rather get called homo ten times a day than.. than segregate myself from the rest of society.
 * Nightcrawler: This is different, mein freund. It may not be safe for you here.
 * Jean-Paul Beaubier: And your school will be? Didn't one of your classmates just get murdered?

Issue 47

 * Jean Grey: I am an X-Man... and save the sex-change jokes.

 * [Jean Grey and Colossus witness Jean-Paul Beaubier awake. Beaubier is openly gay.]
 * Jean Grey: Jean-Paul, this is Piotr.

Issue 48

 * [On being called "Marvel Girl"]
 * Jean Grey: I outgrew that handle two bra-sizes ago.

 * [A drunk Dazzler enters the Danger Room]
 * Iceman: Oh yeah, I forgot we started accepting losers on the team.
 * Rogue: She smells like my grandfather.
 * Angel: Is your grandfather dead?

 * Jean Grey: Take it from a telepath and Cosmo subscriber, men are never what they seem. I mean, who'd guess that a guy like you is constantly daydreaming about Pirates of the Caribbean?
 * Nightcrawler: Ah, Miss Kiera Knightley. I'd happily sink a thousand ships just to stare into her... vait, you spy on my fantasies?

Issue 49

 * [Sinister is rolling the wheelchair of Professor X away.]
 * Professor X: Where are you taking me?
 * Sinister: To the one enemy of the great Charles Xavier.
 * [Sinister pushes the wheelchair down the stairs.]
 * Sinister: Stairs.

 * [In a confrontation against Mister Sinister, whom is holding Dazzler hostage and Rogue has at gunpoint]
 * Rogue: He killed Bobby, War. He... he killed the only boy who ever treated me halfway decent, and for that, he gets to--
 * Shadowcat: Whoa, rewind! Bobby's alive! I just checked on him. His ice absorbed most of the impact. I think he mighta broke a rib or two, but--
 * Dazzler: Hey, morons! Hostage situation here, remember?

Issue 50

 * [Heavily-pierced Dazzler is flirting with Colossus]
 * Dazzler: Seriously, what's up with you? I'm smoking hot, and I have a thing for strange accents. Why don't you make out with me?
 * Colossus: You have more metal in your skin than I have. We would scrape.

 * [Seeing a board advertising the sideshow "Wolfsbane, half-wolf, half-woman!"]
 * Storm: I am going in there. She is being exploited!
 * Wolverine: Maybe she is exploiting them?
 * [They peek around the corner. Wolfsbane is sharing a happy dinner with her obviously mutated friends.]
 * Wolverine: Everybody’s a freak to somebody. You just gotta find your tribe and try to do right by them. But if it makes you feel better, we could storm the ticket booth and eviscerate a few carnies for her.
 * Storm: [kisses Logan] You are sweet.

Issue 52

 * [Angel is talking about Fenris, aka Andrea and Andreas von Strucker]
 * Angel: Nobody knows whether they are married... or siblings.
 * Shadowcat: Ewww.
 * Dazzler: That was old since the White Stripes started it.

 * Andrea von Strucker: We always funnel the profits generated from Gambit's...acquisitions right back into the Homo superior community.
 * Rogue: Steal from the rich to give to the peculiar, huh?

Issue 53

 * Angel: You sure this is a good idea?
 * Colossus: No, but it's Cyclops' idea, and that's good enough for me.

Issue 56

 * [Spiral is theatening the X-Men, holding weapons in each of her six arms]
 * Iceman: Gee... how much does a skeez like you spend on deodorant?

Issue 61

 * Professor X: [to his cat] Mystique, that's enough.
 * Wolverine: The hell kinda handle is that for a cat?
 * Prof. X: I once dated a young woman who went by that name.
 * Wolverine: What was she, a stripper?

Issue 62

 * [Lorna Dane awakes in the same cell as Magneto]
 * Lorna Dane: [scared to death] I'm in hell.

 * Magneto: For Xavier, the world is nothing but shades of grey. For me, the world is black and white.

Issue 63

 * Jean Grey: [in Cyclops mind] Come home soon. I love you so much it hurts, okay?
 * Cyclops: [Already out off merged mind state] Yeah, I love you too.
 * Wolverine: Please tell me you ain't talking to me. You're sitting on an ejector seat, you know.

 * Shadowcat: After this mission, I am so totally changing my nickname. "Shadowcat" sounds so Neopets.

 * Sunspot: I always knew you X-narcs were just tools of the man.

 * Iceman: Did you hear, the Prof said that speedster kid you visited in the hospital a few months back is part of Alex's little raiding party.
 * Colossus: Jean-Paul? He's... he's coming here?
 * Jean Grey: This isn't prom, Peter.

Issue 64

 * Havok: You sure you can get us across the pond to the Triskelion, Northstar?
 * Northstar: Well, "sure" is a strong word, Alex.

 * [Polaris has just refused to join Magneto's Brotherhood]
 * Magneto: You overweight harlot.
 * [Magneto grabs a chair and smashes it over Polaris' head]

 * Mystique: Hello, my love.
 * Magneto: Mystique? Is that really you?
 * Mystique: "The eyes may be fooled by a woman's disguise, but the heart never fails to recognize."
 * Forge: Do you have to go through this routine every time you two see each other?

Issue 65

 * [Deathstrike has just impaled Dazzler. A horrified Angel stares at them.]
 * Deathstrike: What's up, mutie? I thought your girlfriend liked getting pierced.

 * [Talking on the phone.]
 * Colossus: Sorry, the what? Really? Uh, when is it? Yeah. You know what, sure. Email me the details. Okay, tell Warren we miss him. Talk to you soon, Jean-Paul.
 * Nightcrawler: Northstar? What was that all about, Peter?
 * Colossus: He asked me to go to Homecoming with him.

 * Magneto: Cyclops, you are the least threatening boy in the world. You can't hit me without harming your brother.
 * Havok: Y'know, for a guy who claims to know about brotherhood...
 * Cyclops: You don't know much about brothers
 * Cyclops blasts Magneto to the ground without harming Havoc, who was in the line of fire
 * Havok: Nice shooting, four eyes.
 * Cyclopes: You make a easy target, idiot.

 * [Havok & Polaris have just been reunited]
 * Jean Grey: Is that a little jealously I sense?
 * Cyclops: A little sadness about losing my plane, maybe.

Ultimate X-Men Annual #1

 * [Danger Room simulation]
 * Holo-Green Goblin: Congratulations, X-Men. You have the honor of being escorted into oblivion by none other than... the Green Goblin.
 * Wolverine: Who the hell writes this crap?

Issue 66

 * Cyclops: You've got a date?
 * Professor X: I'm handicapped, Scott. Not dead. I'm meeting a woman. It's mostly business, but still a date.
 * Cyclops: I get it. It's a business dinner but she's attractive enough for you to wish it were a date.
 * Professor X: I think Jean is finally rubbing off on you. This is not a bad thing.
 * Cyclops: Actually, Jean is in the other room getting ready, she's been listening in. I think she made me say that.

Issue 67

 * Colossus: This is why you don't want to be around me now, yes? You think I like you -- that way. I promise that is not so.
 * Nightcrawler: Uh... well.
 * Colossus: It is okay, friend. You need not lie to me. I know you've been avoiding me since you think you found out what I am. Have you never met a girl you are not attracted to? Do you think that I am attracted to every man? Why would you think that? I will admit, your skin is cute, but you are not my type. So do not worry, I promise to keep my hands to myself. Can we just go back to the way things were?
 * Nightcrawler: I do not know, mein freund.
 * Colossus: I am the same friend you knew, Kurt.
 * Nightcrawler: I am thinking now... that I did not know that friend very well...

Issue 69

 * Polaris: Here comes the happy couple.
 * Northstar: Please, Lorna -- I believe this is our first date.
 * Polaris: I don't think it counts when you've talked on the phone as much as you two already have!
 * Colossus: I see you are not one to keep things quiet. No?
 * Northstar: I thought you liked that.
 * Colossus: I like that you are free with your speech. I see now maybe a little too free?

Thanks for the help on Reference desk! I'll probably wind up quoting your "lesson" in my own sourcing efforts. ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the help with the R. Turnbull quote. While I'm sure that wasn't the book I got it from, it is without a doubt, the original source.

I plead 'youthful ignorance' on the charge of not properly documenting sources when I added it to my collection. I was about 14yrs old at the time! I know better now :-) - Versageek 06:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't feel too foolish about not thinking of sourcing, Versageek. Renowned author and business maven Laurence J. Peter (of "Peter Principle" fame) hadn't learned this lesson after nearly six decades when he published Peter's Quotations, his own collection of useful quotes from many sources. Unfortunately, this is the norm outside of the formal quote dictionaries like Bartlett's Famous Quotations and The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, which Wikiquote strives to emulate (and improve upon). I'm happy to see you and MeltBanana on board with the need for proper sourcing. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Adaptation (film)

Adaptation. is a 2002 film about writing, finding love, adapting to life, and a screenwriter who, having trouble adapting a non-fiction novel to the big screen, asks for the assistance of his less experienced twin brother.
 * Directed by Spike Jonze. Written by Susan Orlean (book) and Charlie Kaufman (screenplay).

Charlie Kaufman

 * [voiceover] To begin... To begin... How to start? I'm hungry. I should get coffee. Coffee would help me think. Maybe I should write something first, then reward myself with coffee. Coffee and a muffin. So I need to establish the themes. Maybe a banana nut. That's a good muffin.

 * I don't want to cram in sex or guns or car chases or characters learning profound life lessons or growing or coming to like each other or overcome obstacles to succeed in the end. The book isn't like that, and life isn't like that, it just isn't.

 * [voiceover] I should have gone in. I'm such a chicken. I should have kissed her. I should go knock on her door and just kiss her. It would be romantic. It would be something we'd tell our kids about someday. I'm going to do that right now. [drives away]

 * You and I share the same DNA. Is there anything more lonely than that?

 * I'd wanna let the movie exist, rather than be artificially plot-driven.

 * [voiceover] Do I have an original thought in my head? My bald head. Maybe if I were happier my hair wouldn't be falling out. Life is short. I need to make the most of it. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I'm a walking cliché. I really need to go to the doctor and have my leg checked. There's something wrong. A bump. The dentist called again. I'm way overdue. If I stop putting things off I would be happier. All I do is sit on my fat ass. If my ass wasn't fat I would be happier. I wouldn't have to wear these shirts with the tails out all the time. Like that's fooling anyone. Fat ass. I should start jogging again. Five miles a day. Really do it this time. Maybe rock climbing. I need to turn my life around. What do I need to do? I need to fall in love. I need to have a girlfriend. I need to read more. Improve myself. What if I learned Russian or something, or took up an instrument. I could speak Chinese. I'd be the screenwriter who speaks Chinese and plays the oboe. That would be cool. I should get my hair cut short. Stop trying to fool myself and everyone else into thinking I have a full head of hair. How pathetic is that. Just be real. Confident. Isn't that what women are attracted to? Men don't have to be attractive. But that's not true. Especially these days. Almost as much pressure on men as there is on women these days. Why should I be made to feel I have to apologize for my existence? Maybe it's my brain chemistry. Maybe that's what's wrong with me. Bad chemistry. All my problems and anxiety can be reduced to a chemical imbalance or some kind of misfiring synapses. I need to get help for that. But I'll still be ugly though. Nothing's going to change that.

 * What the hell do you need binoculars for?!

 * I have to go right home. I know how to finish the script now. It ends with Kaufman driving home after his lunch with Amelia, thinking he knows how to finish the script. Shit, that's voice-over. McKee would not approve. How else can I show his thoughts? I don't know. Oh, who cares what McKee says? It feels right. Conclusive. I wonder who's gonna play me. Someone not too fat. I liked that Gerard Depardieu, but can he not do the accent? Anyway, it's done. And that's something. So: 'Kaufman drives off from his encounter with Amelia, filled for the first time with hope.' I like this. This is good.

Donald Kaufman

 * You are what you love, not what loves you, I decided that a long time ago.

 * [delighted] I got shot. Isn't that fucked up?

 * McKee says we all have to realize we write in a genre, so we must find originality within that genre. Did you know that there hasn't been a new genre since Fellini invented the mockumentary...? My genre's thriller, what's yours?

 * [reads] Sometimes this kind of story turns out to be something more, some glimpse of life that expands like those japanese paper balls you drop in water and they bloom into flowers and the flower is so marvelous you can't believe there was a time all you saw in front of you was a paper ball and a glass of water.

John Laroche

 * Who's gonna play me? I think I should play me.

 * I'm probably the smartest person I know.

 * By simply doing what they are designed to do something large and magnificient happens. In this sense they show us how to live. How the only barometer you have is your heart. How when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.

 * Bad things happen, darkness descends.

Susan Orlean

 * I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know how it feels like to care about something passionately.

 * There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more managable size.

 * Most people yearn for something exceptional, something so inspiring that they'd want to risk everything for that passion, but few would act on it. It was very powerful and intoxicating to be around someone so alive.

 * It's over. Everything, I did everything wrong. I want my life back. I want it back before everything got fucked up. I want to be a baby again. I want to be new. I want to be new.

 * Change is not a choice. Not for a species of plant, and not for me.

Robert McKee

 * I'll tell you a secret. The last act makes the film. Wow them in the end, and you've got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit. Find an ending, but don't cheat, and don't you dare bring in a deus ex machina. Your characters must change, and the change must come from them. Do that, and you'll be fine.

Amelia Kavan

 * I love you too, you know.

Dialogue

 * Charlie Kaufman: The script I'm starting, it's about flowers. No one's ever done a movie about flowers before. So there are no guidelines...
 * Donald Kaufman: What about "Flowers for Algernon"?
 * Charlie Kaufman: Well, that's not about flowers. And it's not a movie.
 * Donald Kaufman: Ok, I'm sorry, I never saw it.

 * Donald Kaufman: Listen, I need a cool way to kill people. Don't worry, for my script.
 * Charlie Kaufman: I don't know that kind of stuff.
 * Donald Kaufman: Oh, come on, man, please? You're the genius.
 * Charlie Kaufman: Here you go. The killer's a literature professor. He cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die. He calls himself "the deconstructionist".

 * Donald Kaufman: I'm putting in a chase sequence. So the killer flees on horseback with the girl, the cop's after them on a motorcycle and it's like a battle between motors and horses, like technology vs. horse.
 * Charlie Kaufman: And they're still all one person, right?

 * Charlie Kaufman: [voiceover] I'm pathetic, I'm a loser. I have failed, I am panicked. I've sold out, I am worthless, I... What the fuck am I doing here? What the fuck am I doing here? Fuck. It is my weakness, my ultimate lack of conviction that brings me here. Easy answers used to shortcut yourself to success. And here I am because my jump into the abysmal well - isn't that just a risk one takes when attempting something new? I should leave here right now. I'll start over. I need to face this project head on and...
 * Robert McKee:...and God help you if you use voice-over in your work, my friends. God help you. That's flaccid, sloppy writing. Any idiot can write a voice-over narration to explain the thoughts of a character.

 * Donald Kaufman: I'm pitching my script today.
 * Charlie Kaufman: Please don't say pitch.

 * [At a seminar, Charlie Kaufman has asked McKee for advice on his new screenplay in which 'nothing much happens']
 * Robert McKee: Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your fucking mind? People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every fucking day, someone, somewhere makes a conscious decision to destroy someone else! People find love, people lose it! For Christ's sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church! Someone goes hungry! Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman! If you can't find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life! And why the FUCK are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie?! I don't have any use for it! I don't have any bloody use for it!
 * Charlie Kaufman: Ok, thank you.

 * John Laroche: Then one morning, I woke up and said, "Fuck fish." I renounce fish, I will never set foot in that ocean again. And there hasn't been a time where I have stuck so much as a toe back in that ocean.
 * Susan Orlean: But why?
 * John Laroche: Done with fish.

 * John Laroche: You know why I like plants?
 * Susan Orlean: Nuh uh.
 * John Laroche: Because they're so mutable. Adaptation is a profound process. Means you figure out how to thrive in the world.
 * Susan Orlean: [pause] Yeah but it's easier for plants. I mean they have no memory. They just move on to whatever's next. With a person though, adapting almost shameful. It's like running away.

 * John Laroche: Darling, I don't know what's come over you.
 * Susan Orlean: You came all over me.
 * John Laroche: My goodness.

 * Charlie Kaufman: Mr. McKee! I'm the guy you yelled at today.
 * Robert McKee: I need more.

 * Charlie Kaufman: ...But a little fantastic and fleeting and out of reach.
 * Robert McKee: Then what happens?
 * Charlie Kaufman: That's the end of the book. I wanted to present it simply without big character arcs or sensationalizing the story. I wanted to show flowers as God's miracles. I wanted to show that Orlean never saw the blooming ghost orchid. It was about disappointment.

Usually we do not mark edits which add a quote as minor -- only formatting or meta-data edits. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:50, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

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 Sir Dagon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sir Dagon~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Adaptation

 * For the 2002 Film, see Adaptation (film)

In biology, an adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, is a trait with a current functional role in the life of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection.

Quotes

 * People think that they have no right to judge a fact — all they have to do is to accept it. Thus from the moment that technics, the State, or production, are facts, we must worship them as facts, and we must try to adapt ourselves to them. This is the very heart of modern religion, the religion of the established fact, the religion on which depend the lesser religions of the dollar, race, or the proletariat, which are only expressions of the great modern divinity, the Moloch of fact.
 * Jacques Ellul, The Presence of the Kingdom (1948), p. 37

 * Sandy: You know, Danny, I'm kind of worried about this Dance off. Maybe they dance differently the way we do back home.

Rogue (comics)

Rogue is a monthly comics title, launched at 2005. Published by Marvel Comics, it features the adventures of the titular heroine.

Issue 4

 * Rogue: [narrating] Shouldn't make fun of some loser tryin' to pick me up. I'm the one to be pitied, not him. He's still got a one-in-a-million chance of hookin' up with someone. Me, I don't even got those odds.

 * Dream Rogue: Why are you always helpin' people? Why don't you just run off and save yourself?
 * Rogue: 'Cause then I wouldn't have a self worth savin'.

About

 * Storm: Professor, if Rogue stays, I go.
 * Nightcrawler: My apologies, Herr Professor, but we all go.
 * Professor X: I see. We pick and choose who we help, is that it? Some are worthy, others not?! Who was it, Ororo, who told me Wolverine was an X-Man, not because of his "sterling" character, but his potential for good? That to deny him-- though we abhor his violent nature-- would thereby deny our true reason for being, which is to help him achieve that potential. The same argument holds for Rogue, does it not? Of course, there's a risk in accepting her-- but consider the alternative. At least with us she has a chance for a better life. Deny her and we condemn her outright... and that I will never do-- to any mutant-- so long as breath remains within me.
 * Chris Claremont, Uncanny X-Men, #171, (July 1983).
