Thanks for your contributions to Dinosaur Comics, arguably the best web-comic ever invented by Ryan which has the-the same pictures everyday! To sum up, registration is PRETTY FREAKIN' AWESOME! Also! I totally edited your "Misc." header to say "Narration", because that is what I did in other comics! I-I hope that's ok. Thanks for your contribution ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Wayne's World 2

Wayne's World 2 is a 1993 comedy film starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as hosts of a cable access television show from Aurora, Illinois. Based of a popular sketch on NBC's Saturday Night Live and is the sequel to Wayne's World, the movie depicts friends Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar as they try to organize a Woodstock-style concert called Waynestock.

Wayne Campbell

 * I know all seven animal styles: The crane, the stag, the horse, the tiger, the bat, the rat, the monkey, the Beatle [imitates Ringo Starr]. I will take you.

Garth Algar

 * [Telling Wayne what people might say if he mentions Jim Morrison on the show] Look, there's Garth, and his friend Wayne...the psychopath.

Del Preston

 * [At Mikita's, the doughnut shop] And there I am in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at three o' clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&M's to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door and mentions there's a little sweetshop on the edge of town. So, we go, and - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby breaking into this little sweetshop right? Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. Well I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son, that's a different story altogether... I had to beat them to death with their own shoes... Nasty business really... But sure enough, I got the M&M's and Ozzy went on stage and did a GREAT show." ''[everyone in donut shop claps]

Dialogues

 * [Wayne, Garth, and their crew are at the drive-thru at Stan Mikita's, where there's a sign next to the speaker-phone that says, "If we get your order wrong, you don't have to pay."]
 * Wayne: Um, I'd like...ruelers...urger..ucks, and a Mikkita...cup. And then, I think I'd like a large...ream. [Everyone in the car quietly snicker to one another]
 * Garth: Yes, and could I please have a...elly...oughnut...ra...berry and a o...ge drink?
 * Employee: What?
 * Wayne: Oh, I'm sorry, and a...igger...oken.
 * Employee: Well, let me try to recap the order: A crawler, two Sugar Pucks, a Stanley Cup, a large coffee with cream, a raspberry jelly doughnut, an orange drink, and a box of Five Holes.
 * Wayne: ...Yeah.
 * Employee: Thank you, drive around, please.

 * Wayne: [enters gas station] Where's the First Presbyterian Church on Gordon Street?
 * Bad Actor: Uh...
 * Wayne: Gordon Street, Gordon Street!
 * Bad Actor: Uh, Gordon Street! Oh yeah, Gordon Street! Uh, I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon Street. But that was a long time ago. When I was young.
 * Wayne: [looks at camera] Do we have to put up with this? I mean, can't we get a better actor? I know it's a small part, but I think we can do better than this.
 * [director comes in and replaces actor with Charlton Heston]
 * Good Actor: Gordon Street? Ah, yes, Gordon Street. I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon Street. Long time ago, when I was a young man. Not a day passes I don't think of her and the promise that I made which I will always keep. That one perfect day on Gordon Street. That's uh, five blocks up, two over.
 * Wayne: [choking back tears] Thank you.

 * [Wayne and Garth meet Aerosmith]
 * Wayne & Garth: Uhhh....[Goes to their knees and start bowing] We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
 * Steven Tyler: Hey, you're worthy, you're worthy! Get up!

 * [Del Preston lays out the Waynestock stage, but goes off-topic]
 * Del Preston: In the event of capture, I will distribute cyanide capsules which are to be placed under the tongue like so: [puts one under his tongue] Any questions?
 * Garth: I have a question: When exactly did you become a nutbar? [snickers with Wayne]

 * [Wayne argues with Jeff Wong in Cantonese]
 * Wayne: With all respect, Jeff. In our culture, women are allowed to make their own decisions.
 * Jeff Wong: How dare you speak to me in such an insolent tone. You have left me no choice but to fight you!
 * Wayne: If we were to fight, I think it would better if we were dubbed and not in subtitles!
 * Jeff: [dubbed in English] Very well. If that is your custom, prepare to die.

 * Wayne: Excuse me, what are you guys doing here in the middle of the street? Chicken-man: Well, I'm putting these chickens in crates, and stacking them right here. Jim's job is to make sure we always have plenty of watermelons. Wayne: Oh, so you're selling watermelons. Jim: No, no sir. We just have to make sure we have plenty of them stacked at all times, just like with these here chickens. Garth: What do these guys do? Chicken-man: Well, their job is to walk back and forth with this big plate-glass window every couple of minutes. Garth: That's weird. Wayne: Yeah, you've got to wonder if this is gonna pay off later on.

 * [Wayne has finally found himself at the First Presbyterian Church and runs on top to finally catch Cassandra about to marry Bobby Cahn.]
 * Wayne: Oh Jesus God no. [knocks loudly on the window glass that catches Cassandra's attention, as well as everybody else] Cassandra! Cassandra!
 * Jeff: What an asshole.
 * [As Wayne continues to call out Cassandra's name, her father, along with Bobby and the minister mouths "Son of a Bitch" at Wayne.]
 * Cassandra: WAYNE!

David Christoper Lane (born April 29, 1956, in Burbank, California) is a religious scholar and professor of sociology and sociology. He is a noted critic of several new religious movements, gurus, and cults.

Quotes

 * We use more discriminating intelligence when we buy a used car than when we buy a religion. Buying a used car you at least look underneath the hood, hit the tires, maybe take it to a mechanic to check it out. But in buying a religion you're supposed to wear these narrow blinders, so that if anybody disagrees you can block it out. It's basically, check your brains at the door when you join a religion.

Quotes about The Office

 * The Office (the U.S. version) is one of my favorite TV shows. I began watching this show while in grad school, and at that time I was just becoming acquainted with the idea of boundaries. In the show, Michael Scott is the boss of a small paper company who suffers from constant unhealthy boundaries and self-centeredness. Michael's boundaries are so unhealthy, in fact, that his employees are always trying to reel him in and caution him about appropriate workplace behavior. He's unaware of the needs of the others around him and how his conduct has impacted them.
 * Nedra Glover Tawwab Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself (2021)

Alien vs. Predator (film)

Alien vs. Predator is a 2004 science fiction film about a human research team trapped in a pyramid built by a prehistoric Antarctic civilization in the midst of a battle between two extraterrestrial races. The film acts as a crossover spin-off to both the Alien and Predator franchises.
 * Directed and written by Paul W.S. Anderson. Story by Paul W.S. Anderson and Dan O' Bannon & Ronald Shusett.

'''Whoever wins... We lose''' (taglines)

Alexa 'Lex' Woods

 * [to an Alien] You are one ugly mother...
 * [while exploring the abandoned whaling station, Miller is startled by a penguin] Careful. They bite.
 * [Scar shows Alexa that he is activating the bomb in his wrist panel] It's a bomb. Well, I hope it kills every fucking one of them!
 * [to Charles Bishop Weyland] Alexa Woods: When I lead my team, I don't leave my team.

Sebastian de Rosa

 * This whole thing was a trap.

Charles Bishop Weyland

 * [to the Predator] Don't turn your back on me!
 * [shows a 3D image of the pyramid] My experts tell me this is a pyramid.

Other

 * [First lines] Technician: Hey. Hey, hey, come here, take a look at this.
 * Mark Verheiden: [to the Alien] You want a piece of me, you ugly son of a bitch!

Dialogue

 * Sebastian de Rosa: The animals being hunted don't arm the hunters!
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: They're not hunting us. We're in the middle of a war. It's time to pick a side.
 * Sebastian de Rosa: We are on our side!
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: We have to consider the possibility that we might not make it out of here.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: I'm not going to leave you to die down here!
 * Charles Bishop Weyland: You didn't.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [Lex discovers Weyland with his respirator] There's no room for sick men on this expedition.
 * Charles Bishop Weyland: My doctors tell me the worst is behind me.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: You're not a very good liar, Mr. Weyland. Stay on the ship. We'll update you at the top of every hour.
 * Charles Bishop Weyland: You know, when you get sick, you think about your life and how you're going to be remembered. You know what I realized would happen when I go? A ten percent fall in share prices. Maybe twelve. And that's it.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: I've heard this speech before. My dad broke his leg seven hundred feet from the summit of Mount Ranier. He was like you. He wouldn't go back or let us stop. We reached the top and he opened a bottle of champagne... Had my first drink with my dad at 14,400 feet. On the way down, he developed a blood clot in his leg that traveled to his lung. He suffered for four hours before dying twenty minutes from the base.
 * Charles Bishop Weyland: You think that's the last thing your dad remembers? The pain? Or drinking champagne with his daughter fourteen thousand feet in the air? [pause] I need this.

 * Adele Rousseau: What did you say this room was called?
 * Thomas Parks: Sacrificial chamber.

 [the team finds the Predators' shoulder cannons]
 * Graeme Miller: Any idea what these are?
 * Sebastian de Rosa: No, you?
 * Graeme Miller: No.
 * Maxwell Stafford: It's a good thing we brought the experts.
 * Graeme Miller: Well, yeah, it is a good thing, cos' this is like finding Moses' DVD collection.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Everybody, listen up! Gather round.
 * Sebastian de Rosa: I told you she'd stay.
 * Graeme Miller: [towards Sebastian] Told you she'd stay. She can't resist my animal magnetism.

 * Mark Verheiden: Laugh it up, Miller. Laugh it up.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Gentlemen? It is my job to keep you alive on this expedition, and I need your help to do that. Since I don't have the time to properly train you, I'm laying down three simple rules. One. No one goes anywhere alone, ever. Two. Everyone must maintain constant communication. Three. Unexpected things are gonna happen. When they do, no one tries to be a hero. Understood? [towards Verheiden] Understood?
 * Mark Verheiden: Yes, ma'am.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Good.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [Rousseau is loading a pistol] Seven seasons on the ice, and I've never seen a gun save someone's life.
 * Adele Rousseau: I don't plan on using it.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Then why bring it?
 * Adele Rousseau: Same principle as a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, than need it and not have one.

 * Jack the helicopter pilot: [flying over the ocean towards Antarctica] Just past the P.S.R.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Thanks, Jack!
 * Graeme Miller: Oh, damn! I wish I got a picture.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Of what?
 * Graeme Miller: Uh, the P.S.R. I wish he'd call it out before we passed it.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [laughing] The P.S.R. is the "point of safe return". It means we've used up half our fuel so we can't turn back.
 * Graeme Miller: Right, but if something went wrong, we could uh... land presumably.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: We could ditch.
 * Graeme Miller: Yeah, ditch.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: But the temperature of the water would kill us in three minutes.

 * Mark Verheiden: [Pyramid has reconfigured and Verheiden and Miller are cut off from the rest] We're never getting out of this place.
 * Graeme Miller: You got any children?
 * Mark Verheiden: A son.
 * Graeme Miller: Yeah, I've got two. That means we do not have the luxury of quitting. We're gonna make it out of here. We're surviving this if I have to carry you the whole way.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: What's with the bottle cap?
 * Sebastian de Rosa: What?
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: What's with the bottle cap?
 * Sebastian de Rosa: Oh. This is a valuable archaeological find.

 * Sebastian de Rosa: When I was a kid growing up in Italy, you know what they call a moon that big? [in Italian] La luna del cacciatore.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [repeats] La luna del cacciatore.
 * Sebastian de Rosa: [in Italian] Brava!
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: What's that?
 * Sebastian de Rosa: Hunter's moon.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Hunter's moon. [they start laughing]

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: We're gonna round up the rest of the team and get to the surface. Let's move! [Stafford and Verheiden open their cases and pull out machine guns] What are you doing?
 * Maxwell Stafford: My job. Yours is over.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: My job is over when everyone is back on the boat safely. And that gun doesn't change anything.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: How do you say "scared shitless" in Italian?
 * Sebastian de Rosa: Non vedo l'ora di uscire da questa piramide con te, perchè mi sto cagando adosso. More or less.

 * Sebastian de Rosa: The enemy of my enemy... is my friend.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [pyramid starts to reconfigure] Let's go find our friend.

 * Adele Rousseau: What happened here?
 * Thomas Parks: [Nodding head] It's common in ritual sacrifice to take the heart of the victim.
 * Adele Rousseau: That's nice.
 * Thomas Parks: [nods head knowingly]
 * Adele Rousseau: But that's not where your heart is. Besides it looks like the bones were bent straight out.
 * Thomas Parks: [Glances up questioningly & stares at Rousseau]
 * Adele Rousseau: Something broke out of this body.

 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: Where exactly on the ice is this?
 * Charles Bishop Weyland: Bouvetøya Island. But it's not on the ice. It's 2,000 feet below it.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sebastian de Rosa: I think this is a manhood ritual. The humanoid ones, they've been sent here to prove that they're worthy to become adults.
 * Alexa 'Lex' Woods: You're saying, they're, what, teenagers?

About

 * Being such a self-confessed sci-fi geek, was there ever a moment when you had to pinch yourself that you were really in charge of this movie?
 * Anderson: It was truly amazing to see the Alien just sitting there. But at the same time it's very demystifying as well, seeing this guy in a rubber suit who's incredibly tired in-between takes because it's so wearing to give that performance. All he does between takes is sit on an apple box. The drool is continuous, he has a bucket underneath him and he drools in his bucket and the drool tube goes right up the arse of the costume where his tail detaches. It's about as demystifying as you can get, but it still gives you chills. It was fantastic.
 * Paul W.S. Anderson in "INTERVIEW WITH AVP DIRECTOR PAUL ANDERSON" by Steven Horn, IGN, (December 16, 2003).

 * I don’t even know if Sigourney Weaver has read the “Alien vs Predator” draft I wrote. She’s never said she has. But, I was a fan obsessive of the “Alien” franchise, Sigourney. Big time. Particularly Ridley’s original, which is still unmatched. And “Alien vs Predator” — as a concept — is still killer, full of potential. Even its critically maligned first cinematic outing made $172,544,654 worldwide, compared to $159,814,498 for “Alien 3” and $161,376,068 for “Resurrection”. Hardly a financial “fail” there, Sigourney.
 * Peter Briggs in “‘Alien vs Predator’ Writer Responds to Sigourney Weaver (Exclusive)”, by Brad Miska, Bloody Disgusting, (July 22, 2015).

 * Yeah. Ridley and I talked about doing another Alien film and I said to 20th Century Fox that I would develop a 5th Alien film. I started working on a story, I was working with another writer and Fox came back to me and said, "We've got this really good script for Alien vs Predator and I got pretty upset. I said, "You do that you're going to kill the validity of the franchise in my mind." Because to me, that was Frankenstein meets Werewolf. It was Universal just taking their assets and starting to play them off against each other.
 * James Cameron "Holy Crap! Quint interviews James Cameron!!!", Aintitcool, (February 7, 2006).

 * Its set-up is mundane: billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen, a.k.a. Bishop) hires himself a motley crew to go to Antarctica, where they find a perplexing, heat-generating Cambodian-Egyptian-Aztec temple 2000 feet under the ice. Luckily, they've brought along someone who can read the hieroglyphics, Italian archaeologist Sebastian De Rosa (Raoul Bova), who essentially explains the plot, if only his fellow adventurers would listen.
 * The heat Weyland's researchers noted results from preparations for the Predators' with each stage allotted its own room, for instance, "sacrificial chamber" (the structure is remarkably elaborate and mobile, with ceilings and walls shifting every 10 minutes, rather like the scary place in Cube [1997]).
 * While the film's tagline holds true -- "No matter who wins, we lose" -- the underlying notion here, as it has been in both previous entries in the Predator franchise, is that the hunters are comprehensible. Like gamers, they measure their own prowess and keep track of their kills.
 * Scar, so named in the movie's credits for a mark on his face and a ritual he performs with Alexa, recalls Cicatrix, the "Scar" of The Searchers (1956), one of the more complex Native American villains in U.S. movies. In Alien vs. Predator, villains and heroes become simultaneously concrete and abstract: they're functions of the game, the franchise, and the broader commercial and moral marketplace, yes, but they're also vaguely resistant, less transparent than they seem.
 * Cynthia Fuchs, "Alien vs. Predator (2004)", Pop Matters, (August 26, 2004).
 * The Predator society builds sophisticated spaceships, yet they should not look as sleek and hi-tech as a Star Wars stormtrooper. They are a tribal culture, yet their look should not be as primitive as the orcs from Lord of the Rings. They are also a warrior culture, so the ornate cannot conflict with the practical.
 * Alec Gillis, Gillis, Alec & Woodruff, Tom (2004). AVP: Alien vs Predator: The Creature Effects of ADI. p. 128. ISBN 1-84576-004-2.

 * Q: Which character is worse: Predator or Alien?
 * HENRIKSEN: Well, the Predator is more human. To me, the Aliens were always a mixture of like a tick or a parasite of some kind that was just indestructible. That's frightening to me. The Predator, believe it or not, they're more romantic. They have a culture and a code, where the other ones don't. Their code is survival.

 * Lance Herickesen, "INTERVIEW: LANCE HENRIKSEN", IGN, (May 11, 2004).

 * Alien vs. Predator is a monster mash between two of 20th Century Fox’s franchise creatures. When H.R. Giger’s sleek and slimy killing machines face off against the Rastafarian headhunter, there’s a giddy childish thrill not unlike when King Kong faced Godzilla, or when Frankenstein met the Wolf Man. Their confrontations play out in the exaggerated manner of professional wrestling and take place in an ancient pyramid buried under the Antarctic ice where you half expect John Carpenter’s monster from The Thing to pop up and waste them both. These beasties frequently strut their extraterrestrial stuff and are geared toward audience cheers and jeers. While you can’t argue for Alien vs. Predator as a movie to be taken seriously, it certainly delivers as a loving homage to two of our favorite monsters and their respective super-duper powers.
 * Anderson shows such a lack of interest in character or mood that the first 45 minutes, pre-Alien and Predator battles, feels unnecessarily lugubrious. His film lacks the obsessive haunted house setting of Ridley Scott’s Alien, the virtuoso gung-ho action of James Cameron’s Aliens or John McTiernan’s Predator, the bleak doom of David Fincher Alien³, and the cartoon splashes of Jien-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection. Those movies were of varying levels of quality, but the filmmakers were committed to a singular vision. Alien vs. Predator is a technically proficient fan-boy’s wet dream, made for people who want to see the Alien bleed acid on the Predator’s body armor, or the Predator using his nifty laser to blow apart alien hoards. It’s not much of a movie, but it’s a geek’s paradise.
 * Jeremiah Kipp, "Alien vs. Predator", Slant Magazine, (July 5, 2004).

 * When it comes to monster films, horror films, and basically the sci-fi genre, African Americans aren't usually featured in a positive way. For years, we were always the first to die or weren't even featured in the film at all, but lately the trend is changing. In the last few years, the unexpected is happening. In "28 Days Later...", Naomie Harris made it through alive and so did Kelly Rowland in "Freddy Vs. Jason". We don't know what fate holds for Sanaa Lathan in the upcoming "Alien Vs. Predator", but she's considered to be the first black actress to lead a sci-fi film. That itself is a history making achievement. Having received a Tony nomination for her role in "A Raisin in the Sun" and co-starring with Denzel Washington in last year's "Out of Time", one would say that Sanaa has chosen some good projects as of late. In speaking with blackfilm.com, Sanaa talks about her role in "Alien Vs. Predator" and compares the physical work needed for this film to the one needed for her recent work on stage.
 * Do you realize that with the exception of Pam Grier, who starred with Ice Cube in "John Carpenter's Ghost of Mars", you are probably the first black female lead in a sci-fi film?
 * Sanaa Lathan: I think that's amazing and it's great. In 1979, "Alien" came out and Sigourney (Weaver) was in it with a bunch a guys and nobody at that time expected the woman to be the hero, so that was a tradition that the alien started. When Paul did this, I think he had in mind, and he auditioned all races, to set this apart and yet still carry on that tradition, which is great because it's a woman and you would never expect a black woman to be the hero.
 * Sanaa Lathan in "Alien Vs. Predator: An Interview with Sanaa Lathan", Black Film, (August 2004).

 * When we do get to the Predators and Aliens, the film starts to look pretty promising. The Aliens look great, the Predators look great and, at first, their battles are fun to watch. Unfortunately, over-stylized herky jerky camerawork makes the action very hard to follow. It gives one the feeling of watching a fight with a crowd of large people in front of you. It's like you're always trying to jump up to see over someone's head or look around someone, but you keep missing the action.
 * I suppose going into this film, everyone has their favorites. For me, the Alien world has always been a very rich and exciting one. The Predator character is pretty cool, but I mean, really, the first Predator was good, but what do we really know about these dreadlocked ugly mothers? Well, I suppose Paul Anderson either disagreed with me or simply decided this was his chance to expand the Predator world, but the Aliens get the serious shaft here.
 * Jeff Otto, "ALIEN VS. PREDATOR", IGN, (August 13, 2004).

 * Like last year's Freddy Vs. Jason, Alien Vs. Predator never suggests a reason for existing other than the fact that it can. The logical curlicues used to bring the title beasts together defy description; the plot involves ancient civilizations, an abandoned Antarctic whaling station, and an underground pyramid that changes shape every 10 minutes. Into this lair of subterranean mystery and dimly lit sets marches a ragtag group of scientists and explorers led by overqualified Love & Basketball star Sanaa Lathan and funded by Alienseries vet Lance Henriksen. Soon, they discover they've walked into a death trap, an elaborate human-sacrifice machine designed to create Aliens for a ritualistic Predator hunt. Or something like that.
 * Keith Phipps, "Alien Vs. Predator", A.V. Club, (August 16, 2004).
 * Was the film shot entirely in Prague?
 * Colin Salmon: Yes, apart from my entrance scene, which is the top of Mont Blanc. It's a fantastic entrance... It was a world record for the highest film set ever built. The scene was nearly pulled... but we started shooting and the results were great that the studio decided to put it back in.
 * Colin Salmon, "Film Q&A: Alien vs. Predator", Fritha Sutherland, The Telegraph, (October 21, 2004).

 * There's a touching scene near the end of Alien vs Predator when an eight-foot, fang-faced predator, using the acidic blood from the severed finger of an alien face-hugger, tenderly scorches a mark of courage and respect onto the cheek of the last human survivor. She grimaces as her skin burns, and then their eyes meet across the great expanse of space and time that separates both cultures, and then they kiss … or they would have if the queen alien hadn't eviscerated the woman's new friend with the pointy end of her tail. And there ends the almost-birth of a new movie genre, the inter-species romcom.
 * AvP owes its genesis more to the video games than to the movies that preceded them, but this actually weighs in its favour in that it is not tied down by the conventions of the originals. (Although, that didn't stop the wonderfully loopy Jean-Pierre Juenet from making the spectacularly bonkers Alien Resurrection, a movie that, having Winona Ryder as a vengeful synthetic lifeform, is responsible for one of the most ill-judged casting decisions of all time.) And so, while I am still plagued by the question of how the aliens, without so much as gulping down a bottle of powdered milk, go from eight inches long to seven feet tall in the space of five minutes, in this context I no longer need to care.
 * And then there are two: one woman, one predator, and they do what they have to do. She proves her mettle doing what heavily armed eight-foot invisible predators clearly can't. She kicks alien arse, destroys the queen's eggs, and then they both race hand-in-claw into the night toward the almost-romantic denouement. Then, with her beau-that-will-never-be gone, it's down to the feisty Ripley-replacement to take out the alien queen and source some anti-scarring cream for her permanently disfigured face. He should have just given her a ring.
 * Dave Turner, "My guilty pleasure: Alien vs Predator", The Guardian, (April 18, 2014).

Hi. My name is Paddy and I come to Wikiquote, or more often Wikipedia, when I'm bored. I don't know much that isn't common knowledge, although I am a perfectionist and can spend hours "organising", so I have alot of fun with categories. Anyway, on Wikiquote at least I have been responsible for:

 * Adding most of the quotes to the Welsh proverbs Page
 * Starting the Mitch Albom page, and adding many quotes from 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven'
 * Starting and adding quotes to the Kath & Kim Page

Hi. Please note that Quote of the day/Quote proposals is mostly deprecated: the real mechanism for selecting QotD goes through pages like Quote of the day/November, where more participants would be welcome! Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:11, 5 November 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 Andylkl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Andylkl~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.

The Godfather Part II

The Godfather: Part II is a 1974 film that portrays the early life and career of Vito Corleone, and his son Michael’s attempts to expand and tighten his grip on his crime syndicate decades later.
 * Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo.

Michael Corleone

 * See, all our people are businessmen. Their loyalty's based on that. One thing I learned from Pop was to try to think as people around you think. And on that basis, anything's possible.

 * I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies.

 * [on the night of the Cuban government's New Year's Eve celebration; just after the countdown, he embraces Fredo and whispers to him ] There's a plane waiting to take us to Miami in an hour. I'd like you to think about it... [breaks away and suddenly grips Fredo to give him the kiss of death] I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. [shakes him] You broke my heart!

Vito Corleone

 * [to landlord threatening to evict an old widow, in Italian] Do me this favor. I won't forget it. Ask your friends in the neighborhood about me. They'll tell you I know how to return a favor.
 * [to Don Ciccio, in Sicilian] My father's name was Antonio Andolini, and this is for you! [stabs him]

Don Fanucci

 * [traps Vito in his car, in Sicilian] Young man, I hear you and your friends are stealing goods, but you don't even send a dress to my house. No respect! You know I've got three daughters. This is my neighborhood. You and your friends should show me some respect. You should let me wet my beak a little. I hear you and your friends cleared $600 each. Give me $200 each, for your own protection, and I'll forget the insult. You young punks have to learn to respect a man like me! Otherwise the cops will come to your house and your family will be ruined. Of course, if I’m wrong about how much you stole I’ll take less. And by less, I only mean a hundred bucks less. Now don’t refuse me. Understand, paisan?

Hyman Roth

 * If I could only live to see it, to be there with you. What I wouldn't give for 20 more years! Here we are, protected, free to make our profits without Kefauver, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. 90 miles away, in partnership with a friendly government. Ninety miles! It's nothing! Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be President of the United States, and having the cash to make it possible. '''Michael, we're bigger than U.S. Steel.

 * I'm going to take a nap. When I wake up, if the money is on the table, I'll know I have a partner. If it isn't, I'll know I don't.

 * Good health is the most important thing. More than success, more than money, more than power.

 * I'd give four million just to be able to take a piss without it hurting.

 * [to Michael] There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Greene, and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this...is the business we've chosen. I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!

Connie Corleone

 * Michael, I hated you for so many years. I think that I did things to myself, to hurt myself so that you'd know - that I could hurt you. You were just being strong for us the way Poppa was, and I forgive you. Can't you forgive Fredo? He's so sweet and helpless without you. You need me, Michael. I wanna take care of you now.

Pat Geary

 * [addressing the Senate committee hearings on the Corleone Family] For years now a growing number many of my constituents have been of Italian descent. I've come to know them well. They have honored me with their support and with their friendship. I can proudly say that some of my very best friends are Italian-Americans. However, Mr. Chairman, at this time unfortunately, I have to leave these proceedings in order to preside over a very important meeting of my own committee. But before I leave, I do want to say this, that these hearings on the Mafia are in no way whatsoever a slur upon the great Italian people because I can state from my own knowledge and experience that Italian-Americans are among the most loyal, most law-abiding, patriotic, hard-working American citizens in this land. And It would be a shame, Mr. Chairman, if we allowed a few rotten apples to give a bad name to the whole barrel. Because from the time of the Great Christopher Columbus to the time of Enrico Fermi right up to the present day, Italian-Americans have been pioneers in building and defending our nation. They are the salt of the earth, and one of the backbones of this country...

Dialogue

 * Signora Andolini: [in Sicilian] All my respect, Don Ciccio. You killed my husband because he wouldn't give in to you. And his oldest son Paolo because he swore revenge. But Vito is only nine. And dumb-witted. He never speaks.
 * Don Ciccio: It's not his words I'm afraid of.
 * Andolini: He's weak. He couldn't hurt anyone.
 * Ciccio: But when he grows, he'll grow strong.
 * Andolini: Don't worry. This little boy can't do a thing to you.
 * Ciccio: When he's a man, he'll come for revenge.

 * Salvatore Tessio: [in Sicilian] Ehi Vito! Ma tu si sicuru ca iddu rici di sì? (Hey Vito! Are you sure he will say yes?)
 * Vito Corleone: [in Sicilian and English] Nun ti scantari (Do not worry): I make him an offer he don't refuse. Don't worry!

 * Senator Pat Geary: The Corleone family has done very well here in Nevada. You own, or you control, two major hotels in Vegas, one in Reno. The licenses were grandfathered in so there was no problem with the Gaming Commission. Now, my sources tell me that you plan to make a move against the Tropigala. They tell me that within a week you're gonna move Klingman out. That's quite an expansion. However, it will leave you with one little technical problem. The license will still be in Klingman's name.
 * Michael Corleone: Turnbull is a good man.
 * Geary: Well, let's cut out the bullshit. I don't want to spend any more time here than I have to. You can have the license. The price is $250,000 plus a monthly payment of five percent of the gross of all four hotels, Mr. "Cor-lee-oh-nay."
 * Michael: Now, the price for the license is less than $20,000, am I right?
 * Geary: That's right.
 * Michael: Now, why would I ever consider paying more than that?
 * Geary: Because I intend to squeeze you. I don't like your kind of people. I don't like to see you come out to this clean country with your oily hair, dressed up in those silk suits, trying to pass yourselves off as decent Americans. I'll do business with you, but the fact is that I despise your masquerade, the dishonest way you pose yourself — yourself and your whole fucking family.
 * Michael: Senator, we're both part of the same hypocrisy, but never think it applies to my family.
 * Geary: Okay, some people need to play little games. You play yours. But I want your answer and the money by noon tomorrow. And one more thing: don't you contact me again, ever. From now on, you deal with Turnbull.
 * Michael: Senator? You can have my answer now, if you like. My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

 * Michael: I have business that's important with Hyman Roth. I don't want it disturbed.
 * Frank Pentangeli: Then you give your loyalty to a Jew before your own blood.
 * Michael: You know my father did business with Hyman Roth. He respected him.
 * Frank: Your father did business with Hyman Roth. Your father respected Hyman Roth, but your father never trusted Hyman Roth, or his Sicilian messenger boy Johnny Ola!

 * Fredo Corleone: Sometimes I think I should have married a woman like you did, like Kay — have kids, have a family, for once in my life be more like Pop.
 * Michael: It's not easy to be his son, Fredo. It's not easy.
 * Fredo: Mama used to tease me. She’d say, "You don't belong to me. The Gypsies left you on the doorstep." Sometimes I think it’s true.
 * Michael: You’re no Gypsy, Fredo.
 * Fredo: Mikey, I was mad at you! Why couldn’t we spend time like this before?

 * Hyman Roth: I heard you had some trouble. Stupid, people behaving like that with guns. The important thing is you're all right. Good health is the most important thing, more than success, more than money, more than power.
 * Michael: I came here because there's gonna be more bloodshed. I want you to know about it before it happens so that there's no danger of starting another war.
 * Roth: Nobody wants another war.
 * Michael: Frank Pentangeli came to my home, and he asked my permission to get rid of the Rosato brothers. When I refused, he tried to have me killed. He was stupid; I was lucky. I'll visit him soon. The important thing is that nothing interfere with our plans for the future, yours and mine.
 * Roth: Nothing is more important. You're a wise and considerate young man.
 * Michael: And you're a great man, Mr. Roth. There's much I can learn from you.
 * Roth: Whatever I can do to help, Michael. You're young. I'm old and sick. What we will do together in the next few months will make history, Michael, history. It's never been done before. Not even your father would dream that such a thing could be possible.

 * [while travelling the streets of Havana, Cuba, in late 1958]
 * Michael: I saw an interesting thing today. A rebel was being arrested, and rather than be taken alive, he pulled the pin on a grenade he had hidden in his jacket. He killed himself and the captain of the command.
 * Guest: Ah, the rebels are lunatics!
 * Michael: Maybe. But it occurred to me, the soldiers are paid to fight. The rebels aren't.
 * Roth: What does that tell you?
 * Michael: They can win.

 * [Michael visits Frank Pentangeli at the Corleones' old estate house]
 * Michael: You heard what happened in my home?
 * Frank: Mike, I almost died myself. We was all so relieved.
 * Michael: [shouting] In my home! In my bedroom, where my wife sleeps! Where my children come and play with their toys! In my home. I want you to help me take my revenge.
 * Frank: Michael, anything. What can I do?
 * Michael: Settle these troubles with the Rosato brothers.
 * Frank: Mike, I don't understand! I don't— Look, I don't have your brain for big deals, but this is a street thing. That Hyman Roth in Miami, that — he's backing up those son-of-a-bitches.
 * Michael: I know he is.
 * Frank: Then why? Why do you ask me to lay down to them, Mike?
 * Michael: It was Hyman Roth that tried to have me killed. I know it was him.
 * Frank: Jesus Christ, Mike! Jesus Christ! Look, let's get them all. Let's hit them all, now while we got the muscle.
 * Michael: My father taught me many things here. He taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Now if Hyman Roth sees that I interceded in this thing, in the Rosato Brothers' favor, he's going to think his relationship with me is still good. That's what I want him to think. I want him completely relaxed and confident in our friendship. Then I'll be able to find out who the traitor in my family was.
 * Note: the bolded portion is ranked #58 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema. That portion has often been attributed to Sun Tzu and sometimes to Niccolò Machiavelli, but there are no published sources yet found which predate its use in this film. There is, however, an Italian proverb that follows closely: "Dagli amici mi guardi Iddio, che dai nemici mi guardo io!" – May God protect me from my friends, I protect myself from my enemies. Voltaire said, "God protect me from my friends, I'll take care of my enemies”.

 * Michael: [in Sicilian] Tell me something, Ma. What did Papa think, deep in his heart? He was being strong, strong for his family. But by being strong for his family, could he lose it?
 * Mama Carmela Corleone: You’re thinking about your wife, about the baby you lost. But you and your wife can always have another baby.
 * Michael: No, I meant, lose his family.
 * Mama Carmela: But you can never lose your family.
 * Michael: [nods] Times are changing.

 * [at the Lake Tahoe house, Michael demands answers from Fredo]
 * Fredo: I haven't got a lot to say, Mike.
 * Michael: We have time.
 * Fredo: I was kept pretty much in the dark. I didn't know all that much.
 * Michael: What about now? Is there anything you can help me out with? Anything you can tell me now?
 * Fredo: They've got Pentangeli, that's all I can tell you. I didn't know it was gonna be a hit, Mike. I swear to God I didn't know it was gonna be a hit! Johnny Ola bumped into me in Beverly Hills. He said that he wanted to talk. He said that you and Roth were in on a big deal together, and that there was something in it for me if I could help them out. He said you were being tough in the negotiations, but if they could get a little help and close the deal fast, it’d be good for the family.
 * Michael: And you believed that story? You believed that?
 * Fredo: He said there was something in it for me, on my own!
 * Michael: I've always taken care of you, Fredo.
 * Fredo: Taken care of me? You're my kid brother, and you take care of me? Did you ever think about that? Huh? Did you ever once think about that? "Send Fredo off to do this! Send Fredo off to do that! Let Fredo take care of some...Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere! Send Fredo to pick somebody up at the airport!" [points to himself] I'm your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over!
 * Michael: It was the way Pop wanted it.
 * Fredo: It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says...like dumb! I'm smart, and I want respect!
 * Michael: Is there anything you can tell me about this investigation? Anything more?
 * Fredo: The Senate lawyer, Questadt... He belongs to Roth.
 * Michael: Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother. You're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels. I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance so I won't be there. You understand?
 * [walks out]
 * Fredo: Mikey...
 * Michael: [to Neri] I don’t want anything to happen to him while my mother is alive.

 * Michael: What do you want from me? Do you expect me to let you go? Do you expect me to let you take my children from me? Don't you know me? Don't you know that that's an impossibility, that that could never happen, that I'd use all my power to keep something like that from happening? Don't you know that? Kay, now in time, you'll feel differently. You'll be glad I stopped you now. I know that. I know you blame me for losing the baby. Yes, I know what that meant to you. I'll make it up to you, Kay. I swear I'll make it up to you. I'm gonna change. I'll change. I've learned that I have the strength to change. And you'll forget about this miscarriage. And we'll have another child. And we'll go on, you and I. We'll go on.
 * Kay Adams-Corleone: Oh, Michael. Michael, you are blind. It wasn't a miscarriage. It was an abortion. An abortion, Michael! Just like our marriage is an abortion, something that's unholy and evil. I didn't want your son, Michael! I wouldn't bring another one of you sons into this world! It was an abortion, Michael! It was a son, Michael! A son! And I had it killed because this must all end! I know now that it's over. I knew it then. There would be no way, Michael, no way you could ever forgive me, not with this Sicilian thing that's been going on for 2,000 years- [Michael hits her in the face and she slumps on the couch]
 * Michael: Bitch! [points at her] You won’t take my children!
 * Kay: Yes, I will!
 * Michael: YOU WON’T TAKE MY CHILDREN!
 * Kay: [meekly] They’re my children, too!

 * [discussing how to kill Hyman Roth]
 * Tom Hagen: It would be like trying to kill the President; there's no way we can get to him.
 * Michael: Tom, you know you surprise me. If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anyone.

 * [Tom visits Frank Pentangeli]
 * Tom: When a plot against the emperor failed, the plotters were always given a chance to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?
 * Frank: Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the emperors — unless they went home and killed themselves. [realizing] Then nothing happened, and the families — the families were taken care of.
 * Tom: That was a good break. A nice deal.
 * Frank: Yeah. They went home and sat in a hot bath, opened up their veins and bled to death, and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

 * [flashback to Vito's birthday on December 7, 1941]
 * Sonny: Ah, say-- what do you think of the nerve-- those Japs? Them slanty eyed bastards, huh? Dropping bombs in our backyard, and on Pop's birthday, ya know.
 * Fredo: Now, they didn't know it was Pop's birthday.
 * Sonny: [muttering] "They didn't know it was Pop's birthday."
 * Tom: We should have expected it after the oil embargo.
 * Sonny: What do you mean, expected it? Expect it or not, they have no right dropping bombs. What are you, a Jap lover or something-- are you on their side?
 * Tessio: I understand thirty thousand men enlisted this morning.
 * Sonny: A bunch of saps.
 * Michael: Why are they saps?
 * Connie: Sonny, come on, we don't have to talk about the war.
 * Sonny: Hey, beat it-- you go talk to Carlo, alright? [about soldiers] They're saps, because they risk their lives for strangers.
 * Michael: Now that's Pop talking.
 * Sonny: You're goddamn right that's Pop talking.
 * Michael: They risk, they risk their lives for their country.
 * Sonny: Your country ain't your blood. You remember that.
 * Michael: I don't feel that way.
 * Sonny: [muttering] "I don't feel that way." Well, if you don't feel that way, why don't you just quit college and go to-- go to join the Army?
 * Michael: I did... I enlisted in the Marines.
 * [Everyone is silent.]
 * Tom: Michael, why? Why didn't you come to us? I mean Pop had to pull a lot of strings to get you a deferment.
 * Michael: I didn't ask for it. I didn't ask for a deferment and I didn't want it.
 * [Sonny punches Michael and begins to get into a fight]
 * Sonny: What's wrong--
 * Tom: Come on, come on knock it off!
 * Tessio: Sonny--
 * Sonny: Punk!
 * Tessio: Sonny-- Sonny, sit down.
 * Sonny: Go on.
 * Tessio: Sit down.
 * One of Sonny's twins: Mommy, Daddy's fighting again. [Laughs]
 * Sonny: [to Connie] Go show Carlo the tree.
 * [Connie leaves]
 * One of Sonny's twins: Uncle Michael... Mama...
 * Sonny: Nice... Real nice... Break your father's heart on his birthday.
 * Fredo: That's swell. Congratulations. [Offers to shake Michael's hand]
