 * Directed by Richard Lester. Story by Mario Puzo, Screenplay by Mario Puzo & David Newman, and Leslie Newman.
 * Based on the DC Comics characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

The three outlaws from Krypton descend to Earth to confront the Man of Steel in a cosmic battle for world supremacy. Taglines

Lex Luthor

 * Think of it. Three… count them, three supervillains! Each one with the powers of Superman! They'll need a contact here on Earth! Someone with the same wonderful contempt for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

General Zod

 * The vote must be unanimous Jor-El. It has therefore now become your decision. You alone will condemn us if you wish... and you alone with be held responsible by me. You will bow down before me, Jor-El! I swear it! No matter that it takes an eternity! YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME! BOTH YOU AND THEN ONE DAY... YOUR HEIRS!
 * So this is planet Houston. A very strange surface!
 * I like the glow. It flashes red, like the Krypton sun. But not this disturbing noise. Make way!
 * [after shooting himself, unharmed] Crude noisemaker.
 * I win! I always win. Is there no one on this planet to even challenge me?!
 * [referring to the President] And he will answer to me! Or all of his cities shall end up like this one!
 * I see you are practiced in worshipping things that fly.
 * Come to me, son of Jor-El! Kneel before Zod!
 * [to Superman] And now, finally- take my hand, swear eternal loyalty... to Zod.

Ursa

 * I have powers beyond reason here!
 * If the whole planet is watching, cannot we show them something more interesting?
 * General Zod does not take orders! He gives them.
 * Look- they need machines to fly!
 * What kind of a backwards planet is this, where the fighting men wear jewelry and ribbons?

Others

 * Non, you are as without thought as you are without voice. ~ Kryptonian Councilmember
 * Then, if this is what you wish, if you intend to live your life with a mortal, you must live as a mortal. ~ Lara
 * I'll bet you 10 dollars they're from Los Ange-leez. ~ Sheriff as he spots Zod and company in the road
 * Keep it on the flame Rock, this is just minute steak. - Trucker at diner

Dialogue

 * Council Member #1: You three criminals have been caught in a further act of seditious treason! General Zod, your only feeling was contempt for our society; your only desire was to command! Ursa, the only feeling you showed was for your vicious General; your only wish: to rule at his side. Non, you are as without thought as you are without voice. This council has no hesitation in proclaiming you all...
 * Council Member #2: Guilty.
 * Council Member #3: Guilty.
 * Council Member #4: Guilty.
 * Council Member #5: Guilty.
 * Council Member #6: Guilty.

 * Perry White: Kent, I need a story to run with the page three sidebar. Get me everything you can on this terrorist group.
 * Clark Kent: Right! [stops] Uh, sorry. T... terrorists?
 * Perry White: Get your head out of the closet, Kent! Where've you been for the past twelve hours?
 * Clark Kent: Home.
 * Perry White: Well, don't you watch television?
 * Clark Kent: Well actually I don't enjoy television, Mister White, there's too much violence. I was just reading Dickens.
 * Jimmy Olsen: (races in) Mr. Kent! A gang of terrorists seized the Eiffel Tower! In Paris!
 * Perry White: He knows where the Eiffel Tower is, Olsen! You do, don't you Kent?
 * Clark Kent: Yes, sir. Has anybody been hurt?
 * Jimmy Olsen: Well, so far the hostages are unharmed.
 * Clark Kent: The hostages?
 * Jimmy Olsen: Yeah! Tourists! About twenty of them!
 * Perry White: Yeah, but that's just petty-ante stuff. These guys claim that if the French government doesn't meet their demands, they've got a hydrogen bomb ready to level Paris.
 * Clark Kent: (genuinely surprised) Well, geez Mr. White. That's t... terrible!
 * Perry White: That's why they call them "terrorists", Kent.

 * (A Niagara crowd witnesses Superman rescue a plummeting boy)
 * Woman: What a nice man!
 * Another woman: Of course he's Jewish.

 * (After saving the boy, Superman flies behind a hot dog stand and re-dons his Clark Kent guise)
 * Clark Kent: Lois! Um, uh Lois! Uh (offer Lois her hot dog) Uh, here you go.
 * Lois Lane: Where were you?
 * Clark Kent: I was getting hot dogs. (Lois takes both hot dogs) What do you mean?
 * (The two start walking)
 * Lois Lane: Well, it seems kind of strange to me that every time Superman's around, you disappear.
 * Clark Kent: Superman?! I mean, he was here?!
 * Lois Lane: Mm hmm.
 * Clark Kent: (looks up) Golly!
 * Lois Lane: And you weren't . . . as usual. So what have you got to say about that?
 * Clark Kent: Darn! I forgot your orange juice.
 * (Clark starts to walk away)
 * Lois Lane: Clark!
 * Clark Kent: No orange juice?

 * (Lex Luthor and Miss Teschmacher explore Superman's Fortress of Solitude)
 * Lex Luthor: It's beautiful! It has everything.
 * Miss Teschmacher: Wrong.
 * [They exchange a "look".]
 * Lex Luthor: Why didn't you go before we left?
 * Miss Teschmacher: That was two days ago.

 * (Lois and Clark are still walking)
 * Lois Lane: You know, it's, it's really amazing. I never started to put it together before now. It's just kind of funny, you know, cause a good reporter isn't supposed to let anything slip by her.
 * Clark Kent: No. Course not.
 * Lois Lane: Well, uh, I'm beginning to get the picture.
 * Clark Kent: As usual, Lois, I-I really don't know what you're talking about. Um, tell you what, I-I'll meet you back at the hotel.
 * Clark starts walking away.
 * Lois Lane: What's your hurry, Superman?
 * Clark Kent [stops and turns around]: Sorry?
 * Lois Lane: I gotta admit, you know. Your disguise is nearly perfect. You had me fooled. And I am nobody's fool, believe me.
 * Clark Kent: Oh no, of course not, Lois. I mean, you just have an active imagination. You just get carried away sometimes. Believe me, I understand. It can happen to anybody.
 * Lois Lane: Listen, I'm so sure you're Superman, that I'm willing to bet my life on it.
 * Clark Kent: What?
 * Lois Lane [nods her head]: Now, if I'm right, you'll turn into Superman.
 * Clark Kent: Hmm.
 * Lois Lane: And if I'm wrong, you've got yourself one hell of a story.
 * Clark Kent: You think I'm [makes a flying gesture with his arm] Superman? [Lois nods.] Boy, you certainly have some imagination, Lois. Huh. For a minute there, you almost had me convinced [turns around and starts walking], for a minute.
 * Lois: Bye bye Baby!
 * (Lois throws herself into the Falls)

 * [Lex accesses Superman's power crystals, and one summons the "spirit" of a Kryptonian professor)
 * Kryptonian Man: Literature Lesson #35: "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer of Earth. I think I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree . ..
 * Lex Luthor: (as the Kryptonian professor continues) He's not here, it's a voice from the past. Now that's cute, it's very cute.
 * (Luthor then stops the lesson intended for Superman by ejecting the power crystal)
 * Miss Teschmacher: I like trees!
 * Lex Luthor: So does your average cocker spaniel.

 * (Spotting the strangely dressed Kryptonians in the road, a sheriff flips on his police lights and siren)
 * Deputy Dwayne: I dunno, from the look of them I'll bet ten dollars they're from Los Angeles.
 * Sheriff: Hey, ya hippies! Get your butts off the road!
 * General Zod: I like the glow that flashes red like our Krypton sun. But not this irritating noise. Make way.
 * Sheriff: Did I hear right? That son of a bitch give me an order?!
 * (The Sheriff hands a shotgun to Dwayne)
 * Sheriff: Dwayne, you take care of him.
 * Dwayne: But I...
 * Sheriff: Dwayne, you gotta learn to kick ass, you wanna be a peacemaker.

 * (In East Houston, Non is about to destroy a TV newscrew's equipment, but he is stopped by Zod)
 * General Zod: No! Who else is seeing this?
 * Reporter: Ah . . . well, with this satellite link up, uh . . . just about everybody. I mean, the whole planet!
 * General Zod: The whole planet Houston?
 * Reporter: Earth. The whole planet Earth.
 * (Zod looks arrogantly into the camera)
 * General Zod: (satisfied with the man's answer) You may continue.
 * Reporter: As the extraordinary story continues . . . as this extraordinary st—
 * Ursa: (petulantly) Enough of this nonsense! If the whole planet is watching, can't we show them something more interesting?
 * (A US Army battalion has been deployed to East Houston)
 * Army Major: (via bullhorn) Throw down your arms and surrender! This is an order!
 * Ursa: General Zod does not take orders. He gives them.

 * [Zod literally blows off a flamethrower attack from soldiers)
 * Reporter: He was right in the line of that fire and nothing seemed to happen to him. I haven't seen the likes of this since Superman.

 * (An Army helicopter fires on the Kryptonians, to no effect)
 * Ursa: Look! They need machines to fly!
 * General Zod: What bravery! Be nice to them, my dear. Blow them a kiss.
 * (Ursa blows at the chopper and the resulting violent wind sends the craft crashing fatally into a barn)
 * General Zod: I win! (now realizing the lack of resistance he is receiving) I always win. Is there no one on this planet to even challenge me?

 * (With East Houston in ruins, the US Army battalion surrenders to the Zod trio)
 * Ursa: Come forward. Your General wishes to speak.
 * General Zod: I am General Zod. Your ruler. Yes, today begins a new order! Your lands, your possessions, your very lives will gladly be given in tribute to me, General Zod. In return for your obedience, you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words, you will be allowed to live.

(Zod rips an Army general's stars from his shoulder)
 * General Zod: So you are a general too? And who is your superior?
 * Army General: I answer only to the President.
 * General Zod: And he will answer to me! Or all of his cities will end up like this one!

 * (In the Fortress of Solitude, with Lois watching, Superman addresses the image of his Kryptonian mother, Lara)
 * Lara: Your father and I tried to anticipate your every question, Kal-El. This is the one we hoped you would not ask.
 * Superman: But I have to, because... she's everything I want in life.
 * Lara: And she, the one you have chosen, she feels as much for you?
 * Superman: Yes.
 * Lara: Then, if this is what you wish, if you intend to live your life with a mortal, you must live as a mortal. You must become one of them.

 * [Superman has lost his powers to be with Lois Lane]
 * Lois Lane: You did all that for me, I don't know what to say.
 * Superman: Just say you love me.
 * [Lois is touched to her core upon hearing this and hugs Kal-El)

 * (The U.S. president watches on TV as Zod, Ursa, and Non use heat vision to transmute Mount Rushmore in their own images)
 * President: Thousands of hours to create, and they defaced it in seconds. Imagine what they'll do to the world if we resist!

 * [Zod demands that the President kneel before him. The man complies)
 * General Zod: You are not the President. No one who leads so many could possibly kneel so quickly.
 * (The real President emerges from the group)
 * President: I am the man they're protecting. I'm the President. I'll kneel before you if it will save lives.
 * General Zod: It will. Starting with your own.
 * President: What I do now, I do for the sake of the people of the world. But there is one man here on Earth who will never kneel before you.
 * General Zod: Who is this imbecile? Where is he?
 * President: I wish I knew.
 * The President kneels before Zod)
 * President: Oh, God...
 * General Zod: Zod.

 * [[After losing his superpowers, Clark gets beaten by rude diner patron "Rocky"]
 * Clark Kent: I think... think maybe we oughta hire a bodyguard from now on.
 * Lois Lane: I don't want a bodyguard. I want the man I fell in love with.
 * Clark Kent: I know that, Lois. I wish he were here.

 * [Clark and Lois watch the President address the nation on TV.]
 * President: This is your President. On behalf of my country, and in the name of the other leaders of the world, with whom I have today consulted, I hereby abdicate all authority and control over this planet...to General Zod.
 * Clark Kent: Zod!
 * President: Only by strict compliance with all his directions will the lives of innocent millions be spared. [desperately] Superman! Can you hear me? Superman! Where—?
 * (The camera pans to Zod as he grabs a microphone)
 * General Zod: Who is this "Superman"?!
 * President: You'll find out, General, and when you do —
 * General Zod: Come to me, Superman! If you dare. I defy you! Come! Come and kneel before Zod! Zod!

 * [Non, Ursa, and Zod lounge about the Oval Office, bored.]
 * Ursa: You're master of all you survey.
 * General Zod: So I was yesterday. And the day before.
 * [Lex Luthor waves a white handkerchief in the doorway, knocks, then enters.]
 * Lex Luthor: Hello, there. Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor. Possibly you've heard of the name — the greatest, eh, criminal mind on Earth?
 * Ursa: I told you this was a puny planet.
 * [She and Non advance on Lex]
 * Lex Luthor: Wait just a moment! Wait— till you get to know me better, will you, please? [laughs nervously] Wait! Look! I-I-I-I-I can give you, uh, anything you want! I-I can give you the brass ring! The… uh, unlimited freedom to maim, kill, destroy! Plus . . . Lex Luthor's keen mind, Lex Luthor's savvy . . . [He grasps Ursa's hand.] . . . Lex Luthor's career guidance, Lex Luthor's school of better re—
 * [Ursa squeezes. Lex grimaces as his bones audibly crunch.]
 * General Zod: We have all of this without you. You cannot bargain with what you don't have.
 * Lex Luthor: Oh, Magnificent One. [bows] What I am bargaining with is what you do not have. The Son of Jor-El.
 * (Non turns to General Zod, clearly intrigued by Luthor's offer)
 * General Zod: (taken aback) The son of Jor-El?
 * Lex Luthor: I said that, didn't I?
 * General Zod: Jor-El, our jailer?
 * Lex Luthor: (sarcastically) No Jor-El the baseball player.... (seeing Non and Ursa start toward him) Uh yes! Jor-El, your jailer.
 * General Zod: (still at a loss) The Son or Jor-El! On this planet?
 * Lex Luthor: Ah, possibly you know him better by his nom de voyage, or his . . . name he travels under — Superman.
 * General Zod: (everything now making sense) Ah, so this is Superman. How do you know of Jor-El?
 * Lex Luthor: Oh, my Fullness . . . as I explained to you before . . . I'm about the best there is.
 * General Zod: Revenge! We will kill the son of our jailer!
 * Ursa: Revenge!
 * Lex Luthor: Revenge! Heh heh, now we're cooking, huh?
 * General Zod: He flies, then?
 * Lex Luthor: Constantly.
 * General Zod: He has powers as we do?
 * Lex Luthor: Certainly, but, uh . . . oh, Magnificent One, he is . . . just one, where you are . . . three!
 * [Non growls menacingly]
 * Lex Luthor: Or four, if you count him twice.
 * General Zod: We will bring him to his knees!
 * Ursa: Praying!
 * General Zod: Yes, to me!
 * [Zod strides toward the door, Ursa and Non following]
 * Lex Luthor: Wait!
 * [They turn back to Lex]
 * Lex Luthor: First you must find him. And Lex Baby is the only one who knows where he is.
 * General Zod: What . . . do you want?
 * [Lex makes himself at home in the President's chair and lights a cigar.]
 * Lex Luthor: Well, General . . . the world is a big place. Thank goodness, uh . . . my needs are small. Eh, as it turns out, I have this affinity for, uh . . . beachfront property.
 * General Zod: (approaching Luthor and mildly irked) What do you want?
 * [Lex, feet up on the Oval Office desk, makes a Nixonian double-V sign with his fingers]
 * Lex Luthor: Australia!

 * [Lex, walking through the Daily Planet, observes the destruction wrought by Non]
 * Lex Luthor: [muttering] Even with all this accumulated knowledge, when will these dummies learn to use a doorknob?
 * [He enters Perry White's office]
 * Lex Luthor: Hi! You should see the White House. They'll be cleaning it for months.
 * Lois Lane: Lex Luthor.
 * Jimmy Olsen: Wouldn't you know it!
 * General Zod: [holds Jimmy up by the scruff of his neck] This is the son of Jor-El?
 * Jimmy Olsen: No, but I'll bet you're the son of a...
 * Lois Lane: [cuts him off] JIMMY!
 * General Zod: You promised me the son of Jor-El.
 * Lex Luthor: Oh yes, Your Grace. But what I've given you is the next best thing. You just hold onto that little lady and he'll be along. You see, that have this relationship. She does all his public relations and he gives her every exclusive.
 * [Luthor snickers]
 * Lex Luthor: They're the best of friends. [snickers again] You know what I mean?
 * Ursa: What an undemanding male this Superman must be.
 * Lois Lane: Yeah, and you could use a tuck here and there yourself, sister.
 * General Zod: She lives for now. Kill the rest. [nods to Lex] Starting with him.
 * Lex Luthor: W— w— wait! W-wait! Wait! Don't you remember the White House? The- the Oval Room? We had a few laughs, right? Oh, it's Australia, Australia! It's too much, right, okay forget it. I can turn over a new leaf...a tree, a whole forest.
 * [Superman arrives, floating just outside Perry White's office window.]
 * Superman: General? Would you care to step outside?
 * Lois Lane: Superman!
 * Lex Luthor: Superman! Thank God. [Zod looks sharply at Lex] I mean, get him!
 * General Zod: Come to me, son of Jor-El! Kneel before Zod!
 * General Zod: Come to me, son of Jor-El! Kneel before Zod!

 * General Zod: Son of Jor-El. We were beginning to think you were a coward.
 * Superman: I'm not a coward, Zod.
 * Ursa: Let him prove it!
 * General Zod: Possibly not. It is extremely likely you are merely a fool. Like father, like son.
 * Superman: Somehow I just can't hear you, Zod.
 * [Zod fetches slab of concrete and prepares to throw it at Superman.]
 * General Zod: Then die as you deserve to!

 * General Zod: This . . . Superman is nothing of the kind! I've discovered his weakness.
 * Ursa: Yes.
 * General Zod: He cares. He actually cares for these Earth people.
 * Ursa: Like pets?
 * General Zod: I suppose so.
 * Ursa: Sentimental idiot.
 * (Superman rams the mammoth radio antenna back onto the Metropolis State Building, onto the momentarily supine Non)
 * Ursa: He's caged Non.
 * General Zod: I'll draw his fire . . . with some of my own.

 * Man in Crowd #1: They killed Superman!
 * Man in Crowd #2: Let's go get 'em!
 * Man in Crowd #3: Yeah! Come on, I know some judo.

 * [Superman flies off, abandoning Metropolis to Zod]
 * General Zod: Our victory is complete. The Son of Jor-El has fled.
 * Jimmy Olson: Superman fled?
 * Perry White: I don't believe you!
 * Lex Luthor: You heard him. Three against one.
 * General Zod: He fled in fear of us!
 * Lois Lane: (shakily) He'll be back! As long as he's alive, he's going to try again.
 * General Zod: The next time we will kill him.
 * Lex Luthor: The next time? The next time? What am I gonna do with you people, huh? I held up my end. I delivered the Blue Boy. What do I get for my triple threat? "Bow! Yield! Kneel!" That kind of stuff closes out of town.
 * General Zod: Why do you say this to me… when you know I will kill you for it?
 * Lex Luthor: Kill me? Lex Luthor? Extinguish the greatest criminal flame of our age? Eradicate the only man on Earth with—
 * Ursa: Kill him!
 * Lex Luthor: Superman's address?

 * [Zod and company arrive at the Fortress of Solitude, Lex and Lois in tow.]
 * General Zod: Scruffy. So morbid! A sentimental replica of a planet long since vanished! No style at all!
 * Superman: [off-camera] I expect better manners from my guests, Zod.

 * General Zod: Now. The son of Jor-El will be my slave . . . forever. If not, the millions of Earthlings you protect will pay for your defiance, beginning with this one. I sense the presence of Joe-El here. Destroy this place.
 * [Lex finally makes his way down the crystal walls.]
 * Lex Luthor: Hi, guys. Uh, sorry I'm late—
 * General Zod: We have no more use for this one. Kill him.
 * Lex Luthor: Me?! Lex Luthor? General . . . I showed you through the tough times, remember? I set your insights straight! Y-y-you came to me with nothing! I gave you Superman!
 * General Zod: Silence!
 * [Non pushes Lex, who moves off.]
 * Lex Luthor: Watch it! Don't touch me.
 * [Lex approaches Superman.]
 * Lex Luthor: [muttering, to Superman] Guy's a clod! [laughs nervously] Promises were made, gifts exchanged. . . I gotta hand it to you, you know. You always told the truth. Guy always knew where he stood with you.

 * (longer version of Luthor "confession" scene with Superman, used on ABC telecast of early Donner mix)
 * Luthor: (nervously) Promises were made, gifts exchanged....I don't know what the think anymore.
 * (Superman steps away for a moment)
 * Luthor: Hey, you know, this isn't like in the old days, when it was just you and me. Hey, I gotta hand it to you, you know, you always told the truth, a guy always knew where he stood with you. You were totally honest and you wanted to destroy me. Pure and simple. I respect you for that.
 * Superman: Hmm, well, perhaps there's some good in you after all, Lex Luthor.
 * Luthor: I'm telling you, I'm full of good. I just never used any of it.
 * Superman: All right, I guess we'll have to take that chance. Now......try and get them all into this molecule chamber.

 * Superman: [whispering to Lex Luthor]: Try to get them all into this molecular chamber.
 * Lex Luthor: Huh?
 * Superman: It takes away their powers. See—
 * Lex Luthor: Ahh!
 * Superman: And turns them into ordinary human beings.
 * Lex Luthor: Hmm.
 * Superman: Now, if you could—
 * General Zod approaches them.
 * Superman: Shh! Shh!
 * Lex Luthor: Don't go in there, General. It's a trap.
 * Superman: Luthor, you poisonous snake!
 * Lex Luthor: That's a molecule chamber. It makes people like you . . . into people like me.
 * General Zod: You've done well, Lex Luthor.
 * Lex Luthor: General, um, the crystal there activates the mechanism.
 * General Zod: Lex Luthor, ruler of Australia, activate the machine.
 * Non grabs Luthor from behind and flies him to the machine.
 * Lex Luthor [on the way there]: Hugh! Whoa! Wuh!
 * The two land.
 * Lex Luthor: Thank you. [grabs the crystal] [to General Zod] With your permission.
 * General Zod nods. Luthor places the crystal into the machine. Superman sighs while Lois cries. Superman walks into the chamber. Lois continues crying. The machine activates. Lois puts her hand to her face. Superman steps out of the chamber
 * Superman: Huh, huh.
 * Lois continues crying. General Zod beckons Superman to come to him. Superman sighs and obeys.
 * General Zod: And now [Lois sniffles and continues to do so.], . . . finally. [motions Superman to kneel, and Superman obeys] Take my hand and swear eternal loyalty to Zod.
 * Superman takes Zod's hand...and crushes it, causing Zod to scream in pain. Superman lets go of Zod's hand, grabs Zod and lifts him into the air while standing up. Superman looks at Zod and shakes his head. He then throws Zod, who falls to his death. Non growls and attempts to fly, only to discover that he cannot. He loses his balance and falls to his death while screaming.
 * Lex Luthor: He switched it. He did it to them. I mean, the lights were on out here...while he was safe in there.
 * Lois Lane [to Ursa]: Hey, you know something? [grabs Ursa's arm and gets out of her grip.] You're a real pain in the neck!
 * Lois punches Ursa who falls to her death screaming.

 * Superman: I'd knew you'd double-cross me, Luthor. A lying weasel like you couldn't resist the chance.
 * Lex Luthor: Are you kidding? That was beautiful! Did you see the way they fell into our trap!
 * Superman: Too late, Luthor! Too late.

 * [Back at the Daily Planet, Clark nervously enters the office of a brooding Lois]
 * Clark Kent: Hi.
 * Lois Lane: Hi.
 * Clark Kent: How'd you sleep, all right?
 * Lois Lane: No, I didn't close my eyes all night.
 * Clark Kent: Look, Lois—
 * Lois Lane: I understand. I understand. I sat up all night listening to the voices of reason. Do you know how vile it is to hear the first bird of the morning singing, when you've been sitting up all night, crying?
 * Clark Kent: I'm sorry.
 * Lois Lane: I'm sorry, too. I guess it's, uh… sorta like being married to a doctor, you know. The doctor gets wakened in the middle of the night, and then the wife has to cope with the fact that he's gone. I guess I'm just too selfish.
 * Clark Kent: No, no, you're not selfish at all.
 * Lois Lane: Yes, I am selfish when it comes to you. I am selfish. And I'm jealous of the whole world.
 * Clark Kent: Lois, it may not be easy for you to hear this now, but… someday, you'll—
 * Lois Lane: Clark! Look. Don't tell me that I'll meet somebody. You're kinda… tough act to follow, you know? Now, I'm gonna be fine. You don't have to worry about me.
 * Clark Kent: I like worrying about you.
 * [Lois fights more sobbing as she continues.]
 * Lois Lane: Would you stop? Don't you know that this is killing me? Do you know what it's like to have you come in here, every morning, and not be able to talk to you? Not be able to… show I have any feelings for you, not… be able to tell anyone I know who you are? I don't even know what to call you!
 * Clark Kent: Lois, I don't know what to say.
 * Lois Lane: I dunno, just... say that you love me.

 * [Clark returns to Ron's Diner...where he was beaten by Rocky, who is stuffing his face.]
 * Rocky: Gimme another plate of this garbage.
 * Annie, the Waitress: Garbage?! That's my number one special, Rocky!
 * Rocky: All right, Annie! Gimme some more coffee, too, will ya?
 * Clark Kent: Gee, that's funny. I've never seen garbage eat garbage before...Excuse me, sir, I believe you're sitting in my favorite seat.
 * Rocky: Come and get it, four-eyes.
 * Ron, the Owner: Take it easy, will you? I just had this joint fixed; it cost me a fortune!
 * ''The unimpressed Rocky shoves Ron aside and then punches Clark, who is unaffected. Rocky, however, breaks his hand. Clark picks Rocky up and sets him on a stool, which he spins at super-speed...leaving Rocky dazed and looking ready to throw up. Clark then sets Rocky on his own meal.
 * Clark Kent: This order's to go.
 * Clark then super-pushes Rocky, which sends the bully sliding from one end of the diner's countertop to the other. Rocky lands on a pinball machine, which flashes "TILT". Truck stop patrons look on in awe.
 * Clark hands a wad of cash to the dumbfounded Ron.
 * Clark Kent: I'm, uh...terribly sorry about all the damage, sir...Oh, I've been...uh, working out.

 * TELEVISION EDIT: Ron hands back the money.
 * Ron: Hey, just a minute...Think I'm gonna let you pay when he never did? This time's on the house, I insist. [Clark shrugs obligingly; Ron turns to face Rocky] Hey, Rocky...I see you anywhere near my place again, I'll call the cops. Ya hear? [Rocky, still shaking cobwebs from his head, jerks himself to his feet and hurriedly departs]

 * [Inside the ceiling-less Oval Office, the President sees Superman arrive with a new dome.]
 * Superman: Good afternoon, Mr. President! Sorry I've been away so long. I won't let you down again.

The Version You Have Never Seen Taglines

Lex Luthor

 * That's Kryptonite, Superman. A little souvenir from the old home town?
 * You were great in your day, Superman. But it just stands to reason! When it came time to cash in your chips, this old...diseased maniac would be your banker. Mind over muscle?
 * Wrong Lex? Miss Teschmacher, those are two words we don't use in the same sentence.
 * "Funny" is a person trying to smile without any teeth.
 * [Watching Superman fight Zod, Ursa, and Non in Metropolis] Never thought this thing would go the distance.

Kal-El / Superman

 * Father? If you can hear me, I failed. I failed you, I failed myself, and... and all humanity. I traded my birthright for a life submission in a world that's ruled by your enemies. There's nobody left to help them now... the people of the world... not since I... FATHER!!
 * General, haven't you ever heard of freedom of the press? [alternate line of "General, would you care to step outside?"]

Dialogue

 * Jor-El: I ask you now to pronounce judgment on those accused: [referring to Non] On this... this mindless aberration, whose only means of expression are wanton violence and destruction. On the woman Ursa, whose perversions and unreasoning hatred of all mankind have threatened even the children of the planet Krypton. Finally, General Zod - chief architect of this intended revolution, and author of this insidious plot, to establish a "New Order" amongst us - with himself as absolute ruler! The decision of the Council will now be heard.
 * Council Member 1: Guilty!
 * Council Member 2: Guilty!
 * Council Member 3: Guilty!
 * Council Member 4: Guilty.
 * General Zod: The vote must be unanimous, Jor-El. It has therefore now become your decision. You alone will condemn us, if you wish, and you alone will be held responsible by me. [Jor-El signals the Phantom Zone] You will bow down before me, Jor-El! I swear it! No matter that it takes an eternity! YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!! BOTH YOU AND THEN, ONE DAY, YOUR HEIRS!!!

 * [Clark and Lois enter Mr. White's office]
 * Clark Kent: Good Morning, Lois. How are you today?
 * Lois Lane: Oh, I'm just super. Thanks.
 * Clark Kent: Good morning, Mr. White.
 * Lois Lane: [elbows Clark] I'm super.
 * Perry White: Yeah, morning. You're late, Kent.
 * Clark Kent: Yeah, uh, sorry, Mr. White. I got stuck in traffic.
 * Lois Lane: Oh, that's a new one.
 * Clark Kent: Excuse me?
 * Lois Lane: I mean, as opposed to: "I got stuck in a phone booth" or "I got locked in the men's bathroom".
 * Clark Kent: Lois, what are you talking about? I'm sorry I was late-
 * Perry White: If you two wanna bicker, that's great! I have just the assignment for you. You're gonna pose as a honeymoon couple in Niagara Falls to get an expose on the newlywed racket. Some of the hotels up there are just bilking those poor kids for every cent they can get. Real human-interest stuff, though. Make your Aunt Hattie cry her eyes out.
 * Clark Kent: Um, newlyweds?
 * Lois Lane: That is a great idea, Mr. White!
 * Clark Kent: Excuse me, Mr. White, I'm sorry, but I'm right in the middle of a series on the city council and I-
 * Lois Lane: I mean, it wouldn't take long! We could just fly right up there and zoom back down again. No, Superman?
 * Perry White: Ha! Yeah. If he'd give you two a ride, maybe we could save a couple bucks.

 * Clark Kent: Well, my goodness, you sure look like the cat that has swallowed the canary this morning.
 * Lois Lane: A canary? No, I was thinking of something a lot more bigger. Something that flies. Something more in blue.
 * Clark Kent: Uh, Lois, as usual, I'm totally in the dark-
 * Lois Lane: Let me just turn on the lights for you then. [shows Clark Superman's picture with Clark's description drawn on it] Get the picture?
 * Clark Kent: Hmm...
 * Lois Lane: You know, I didn't start to put this together until this morning, which is really strange because a good reporter isn't supposed to let anything slip by her.
 * Clark Kent: Hmm. Well that's, um, very amusing. Yes. Excuse me.
 * Lois Lane: Amusing?
 * Clark Kent: Yes siree. That's, uh, that's very amusing.
 * Lois Lane: Amusing, huh? Tall, broad shoulders, dark hair; I gotta give you credit, you really had me fooled. And I'm nobody's fool... Superman.
 * Clark Kent: S-Superman? You mean you think I'm Superman?
 * Lois Lane: Willing to bet my life on it.
 * Clark Kent: (laughs) Lois, you know, you are priceless. Really! I mean that is the single most ridiculous thing I've ever - [Lois opens a window] Lois, what are you doing!?
 * Lois Lane: You wouldn't let me die, Superman!
 * (Lois promptly jumps)

 * [An alarm sounds off in jail. Otis grabs a basket full of prisoners' uniforms and joins Luthor, who is serving time behind bars for the missile sabotage that nearly destroyed the West Coast]
 * Lex Luthor: So this is how it ends for the Greatest Criminal Mind for Our Time. Not with a whimper. Not with a bang. How do they choose to reward Lex Luthor, the Greatest Genius in this World? Do they give him glory? Do they give him treasure? What matter in fact do they give him?
 * Guard: Life plus twenty-five, Luthor. Get to work.

 * Otis: How're we gonna get over that wall?
 * Lex Luthor: How'd we get in here?
 * Otis: We flew in, don't you remember?
 * Lex Luthor: That's how we're gonna get out.
 * Otis: Oh, no! Not that guy...
 * Eve Teschmacher: [Offscreen from a balloon] Psst.
 * Lex Luthor: Shh! Did you do "psst?"
 * Otis: I wish I had, Mr. Luthor, before we left.
 * (Luthor grunts angrily at Otis)
 * Eve Teschmacher: Psst.
 * Lex Luthor: Not that "psst", that "psst."
 * Eve Teschmacher: Psst.
 * Lex Luthor: Psst?
 * Otis: Psst.
 * Lex Luthor: Don't go "psst" when I go "psst"!
 * Otis: Oh.
 * Eve Teschmacher: Psst.
 * Lex Luthor: Psst?
 * Eve Teschmacher: (with some desperation) Psst.
 * Lex Luthor: (now figuring out) Get out there and find it.
 * Otis: Okay. What am I looking for?
 * Lex Luthor: You'll know it when you see it.
 * Otis: Oh. Psst.

 * (After Miss Teschmacher rescues Lex from prison)
 * Lex Luthor: Miss Teschmacher, how would you like to go on a vacation?
 * Eve Teschmacher: A vacation!? Do I get to wear a bikini, Lex? Please tell me you thought about me in a bikini, Lex?
 * Lex Luthor: No, actually I thought about you in a parka.
 * Eve Teschmacher: You thought about me in a parka!? You are sick, Lex. You're really sick.
 * Lex Luthor: That's possible. [points] North, Miss Teschmacher. Due north.
 * Eve Teschmacher: Um, Lex...[points the other way] North!
 * Lex Luthor: That's what I said North!
 * Eve Teschmacher: Well, you said...
 * Lex Luthor: Don't repeat what I just said.

 * Lois Lane: You are Superman, aren't you?
 * Clark Kent: Lois, now we've been through these hallucinations of yours before. Can't you see what you almost did? Throwing yourself off a building 30 stories high? Can't you see what a tragic mistake you almost made?
 * Lois Lane: I made a mistake? I made a mistake because I risked my life instead of yours.
 * [Lois pulls a gun on Clark]
 * Clark Kent: Lois! Don't be insane!
 * Lois Lane: And don't fall down 'cause you're just going to have to get up again!
 * Clark Kent: Lois, don't be crazy! LOIS!
 * [Lois fires at Clark, who is not affected]
 * Lois Lane: It is you. I guess I've know it for the longest time.
 * [Clark removes his glasses and reveals himself as Superman]
 * Superman: You realize, of course, if you'd been wrong, Clark Kent would've killed.
 * Lois Lane: With a blank? Gotcha!

 * [After Kal-El and Lois sleep together in the Fortress of Solitude, Kal-El addresses the image of his father, Jor-El]
 * Jor-El: The people of your planet are well pleased with you, Kal-El. You have served them faithfully and they are grateful for it. And yet you have returned to reason with me once again. My son, I have tried to anticipate your ever question. This is one I'd... hoped you would not ask.
 * Kal-El: My attachments, um, the feelings which I have developed for a certain human being have deeply affected me, Father.
 * Jor-El: You cannot serve humanity by investing your time and emotion in one human being at the expence of the rest. The concepts are mutally exclusive.
 * Kal-El: And if I no longer wish to serve humanity...
 * Jor-El: Is this how you repay their gratitude? By abandoning the weak, the defenceless, the needy for the sake of you selfish pursuits?
 * Kal-El: Selfish!? After all I've done for them? Will there ever come a time when I've served enough? At least they get a chance for happiness. I only ask as much, no more.
 * Jor-El: Yours is a higher happiness. The fulfillment of your mission, as inspiration you must have felt. You must have felt that happiness within you. My son, surely you cannot deny that feeling.
 * Kal-El: No, I cannot... any more than I can deny the other, which is stronger in me, Father. So much stronger. Is there no way then, Father? Must I finally be denied the one thing in life which I truly desire?
 * Jor-El: If you will not be Kal-El, if you will live as one of them, love their kind as one of them, then it follows that you must become one of them. This crystal chamber has in it the harnessed rays of the red sun of Krypton. Once exposed to them all your great powers on Earth will disappear... forever. Once this is done, there's no going back. You will feel like an ordinary man and you can be harmed like an ordinary man. Think, Kal-El, I beg you.
 * Kal-El: Father... I love her.
 * Jor-El: Think, Kal-El.
 * [Kal-El steps into the chamber]

 [Extended version with Lex visiting the villians in the Oval Office]
 * Lex Luthor: Oh, Magnificent One. [bows] What I am bargaining with is what you do not have. The Son of Jor-El.
 * General Zod: The Son or Jor-El!
 * Lex Luthor: [to himself] I said that right?
 * General Zod: Jor-El!? Our jailor?
 * Lex Luthor: No, Jorel the baseball player... [Non growls] Yes, Jor-El, your jailor. Ah, possibly you know him better by his nom de voyage, or his... name he travels under — Superman.

 * Jor-El: Listen carefully, my son, for we shall never speak again. If you hear me now then you have made use of the only means left in you: The crystal source through which our communications begun. The circle is now complete. You have made a dreadful mistake, Kal-El. You did this of your own free will in spite of all I could say to dissuade you.
 * Clark Kent: I, uh...
 * Jor-El: Now, you have returned to me for one last chance to redeem yourself. This too finally I have anticipated, my son.
 * Clark Kent: Father, no...
 * Jor-El: Look at me, Kal-El. Once before when you were small, I died while giving you a chance for life. And now, even though it will exhaust the final energy left within me- Look at me, Kal-El. The Kryptonian prophecy will be at once fulfilled. The son becomes the father, the father becomes the son. Farewell forever, Kal-El. Remember me, my son.

 * Jimmy Olsen: Wouldn't you know it?
 * General Zod: [thinks Jimmy is Superman] This is the son of Jor-El?
 * Jimmy Olsen: No, but I bet you're a son of a-
 * Lois Lane: Jimmy!
 * General Zod: [to Lex Luthor] You promised me the son of Jor-El.

 * General Zod: Son of Jor-El. We were beginning to think you were a coward.
 * Clark Kent: I'm not a coward, Zod.
 * General Zod: It is extremely likely you are merely a fool. Like father, like son.

 * [Lex Luthor takes Jimmy Olson's cup of coffee]
 * Jimmy Olson: Hey, that's for the chief!
 * Lex Luthor: The chief's got it.

 * (Superman flees Metropolis; the villains return to the Daily Planet)
 * General Zod: Our victory is complete. The Son of Jor-El has fled.
 * Jimmy Olson: Superman fled?
 * Perry White: I don't believe it.
 * Lex Luthor: You heard him. Three against one.
 * General Zod: He fled in fear of us!
 * Lois Lane: (shakily) He'll be back! Believe me, he'll be back.
 * General Zod: Then next time we will kill him.
 * Lex Luthor: The next time? The next time? What am I gonna do with you people, huh? I held up my end; I delivered the Blue Boy. What do I get for my triple threat? "Bow! Yield! Kneel!" That kind of stuff closes out of town.
 * General Zod: Why do you say this to me when you know I will kill you for it?
 * Lex Luthor: Kill me? Lex Luthor? Extinguish the greatest criminal flame of our age? Eradicate the only man on Earth with...
 * Ursa: (impatiently) Let me kill him!
 * Lex Luthor: Superman's address?
 * (Lois and Perry stare at Luthor in shock)
 * General Zod: (suspiciously) What more do you want? I can see the greed written on your face.
 * Lex Luthor: A small incentive, oh Fullest One. A mere bauble to jog the memory.
 * General Zod: What more?
 * Lex Luthor: Cuba.

 * [After Superman destroys the Fortress of Solitude]
 * Superman: Look, Lois -
 * Lois Lane: No regrets, okay? I did it. I got the man I loved to love me. Didn't I?
 * Superman: Oh, yeah.
 * Lois Lane: Well, okay then. Those people need you. Do you think I don't understand that?
 * Superman: We can still see each other, you know. I mean, all the time. But it just can't be -
 * (Lois kisses Superman)
 * Lois Lane: Just don't forget, that's all. Don't ever forget.

 * [Superman returns Lois Lane home]
 * Superman: See you at work in the morning.
 * Lois Lane: Bright and early, huh? The same old Clark and the same old Lois.
 * Superman: Yep.
 * Lois Lane: Except, maybe I won't be quite so mean to you from now on. You don't have to worry. Your secret's safe with me.
 * Superman: I know. I know that, Lois.
 * (Superman flies off)
 * Lois Lane: Well, there he goes, kid. Up, up, and away.

 * (Clark arrives for work the next day after he turned back time again)
 * Clark Kent: (hangs his coat) Good morning, Lois. (his coat falls down; Lois ignores him) Good morning, Lois.
 * Lois Lane: Oh. Hi, Clark.
 * Clark Kent: Jeepers, I have seen some faraway looks in my time, but with that look, you might as well be on the North Pole.
 * Lois Lane: The North Pole! No, that's too silly. Did you ever feel like you knew something that was so important that... No, you never did. I mean, I'm sitting on the single most important story of my career and I can't even remember what it is.
 * Clark Kent: Well, knowing- knowing you it must be about Superman. Maybe how he saved the city or saved the world or saved the universe.
 * Lois Lane: Clark, Clark. Listen, jealousy's really not counterproductive. Now there's some things that you can do.
 * Clark Kent: Oh, yeah? Really? Like what?
 * Lois Lane: Like... get us a pizza!
 * Clark Kent: A pizza? Now?
 * Lois Lane: Yah, I'm hungry.
 * Clark Kent: Actually, I don't think Mr. White would like it if -
 * Lois Lane: I'll pay for half of it, all right.
 * Clark Kent: I'm going. [gets his coat and hat] Lois, you know about the pizza? It's okay. I'll pay for the whole thing.
 * Lois Lane: You know you really are super!
 * (Clark stops and glares at her thinking she was about to say "Superman")

Help talk:Starting a new page

Input box
Moved from WQ:VP:

There has been some feeling lately that it is not trivial to create a new article. I have used a new mediawiki feature in order to prototype a better way. Please have a look at User:MosheZadka/inputbox. I have created many of the recent articles I contributed with this feature, and I find it nice. I would like to publicize it. Note that there are many features there I do not use: for example, once Firefly (TV series)/Format becomes more official, we could probably extract part of it to add it to the "instructions" argument, so people will get the benefit of the format automatically. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:41, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * There has been little response, and recent evidence suggests people are still struggling with it. I am going to move the input box to Help:Starting a new page, adding one for themes, literary works and films in one week, pending the outcome of a vote ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:26, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Vote
Should I add the above mentioned experiment to the help page?

 * Vote closes: 13 Aug 2005, 16:30 (UTC)
 * Vote closed: 3 support, no dissent -- I am going to do this. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 08:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support users have a hard time creating articles. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:26, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Support on three prior conditions:
 * A proper "Starting a new page" article is put into place first, based on Wikipedia's article (or other appropriate MediaWiki prototype). "Input box" cannot take the place of a general introduction, as Wikiquote is the first wiki experience for some users. The input box should have its own section, listed in the TOC but placed below the general information, so as not to encourage people to ignore general wiki info.
 * The input-box templates are moved into "Wikiquote:Templates/*" space and are provided links from Templates in the appropriate places, so that monitors of that policy page are made aware of this development more directly. (This also requires creating a "TV shows" heading in WQ:Templates, which does not currently exist, but is [incorrectly] assumed to be the same as "Films".)
 * An announcement and description of this upcoming handy shortcut is made on village pump. The current line doesn't suggest to anyone why they would want to look at it, which is quite problematic, given our low reader interest on VP already.
 * There is much more to this than just ease of article creation, although that clearly is important. We must not make it too easy for new users to completely bypass all learning of wiki processes in the rush to create articles. We could be making the formatting issue easier at the cost of mass violation of other policies that no one feels a need to read. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: All of Jeff's conditions above sound eminently reasonable to me. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 19:49, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: In order to make sure there is wide consensus, I have extended the vote by an extra week, and added notices in several places as suggested by Jeff. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 19:49, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral: I don't know that the proposed form is all that helpful to people, and may do marginally more harm than good if novice editors tend to leave the boilerplate around. (I continue in my opposition to Template:Lynx as a general matter.)  But if it helps editors to use a standard format and overall improves the quality of "people" pages in particular then it's probably a wash to a marginal benefit.  (I can't comment on the proposed "tv show" template as I have no interest in that direction.  It's not clear to me whether the vote is about the general mechanism, or the specific templates, or both.)
 * Support: I tried it out for creating a new film page and I thought that using the shortcut worked very nicely. I'm sure that it would make things much easier for new users. Good job! UDScott 16:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Some thoughts about organization of text
The first section should explain the wikiquote naming convention — after all, thinking up a name is the first part of creating a page. If we have a link, a couple of short sentences and a link should be good enough.

The second section should sound something like: New pages can be created by following a link to a nonexistent page (also called a "red link" because of how it looks by default) or by editing the last part of the URL of another page in the same project. It is useful to search if anyone created a page, perhaps named differently. If the search turns up something, you might want to create a redirect article (link to a small section about redirection articles). Otherwise, feel free to start an article. Note that wikiquote articles must have quotes, there is no use for encyclopedic information here.

Wikiquote has different types of pages for different types of purposes

 * Page of quotes by, and about, a person. (followed by an input box) For more information about formatting such a page, see ...
 * Page of quotes from a movie. (followed by an input box) For more information about formatting such a page, see ...
 * Page of quotes from a TV show. (followed by an input box) For more information about formatting such a page, see ...
 * Page of quotes from a book. (followed by an input box) For more information about formatting such a page, see ...

Note: though comic books are books, there format, by convention, is more similar to that of telvision shows.

There doesn't have to be links for the templates here (after all, the templates will be on the targer page), but it would be useful to contain links to manuals of styles.

This should be considered as an addendum to the vote above: this is more or less the organization we're voting on, I just wanted to sketch it. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 14:07, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

I suggest we work on a prototype on Help:Starting a new page/draft (which can then be moved to the main page). ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:30, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * MosheZadka, I see that, as usual, you've done well in putting your money where your mouth is. I don't think we really needed a separate draft page, since the "official" page is essentially empty. In the past, when we lack any policy where one should be, it's not unusual to create the draft in place. (Usually we go with separate draft pages when we already have official policy that we are contemplating changing.) I still want to review some stuff from w:Help:Starting a new page for import, to make sure ours can be used for initial wiki experiences. I plan to tackle that several hours from now. Once we get that together, I think we might stretch a point to treat the existing H:SANP article as "No meaningful content or history" and speedy-delete it, then move the draft into place. Thanks again for moving things forward! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:47, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, the reason I wanted to work on a draft version is because I was loath to confuse some newbie who would stumble on a mid-edit jumble of semi-approved stuff...And I agree with the idea of speedy deletion and moving. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 23:21, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I still haven't gotten to melding in WP and Meta stuff for H:SANP, but I don't want to hold up progress because of my pokiness. What MosheZadka has provided is extremely useful. I'm going to concentrate on merely tweaking the good stuff and worry about dotting Is and crossing Ts later. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:22, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Major expansion of naming section
I started out just to tweak the existing text of the Naming an article section, but wound up adding substantial text based on problems that have come up in just the few months I've been a sysop. I've added links to explanatory articles and examples to help illustrate the occasionally confusing issues that arise. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Infobox design
I found its original on Japanese Wiktionary. How about this --

--Aphaia 00:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Very attractive! It would easily catch the eye on an otherwise colorless page of necessary instructions. It would require a bit more space than the current setup, but I suspect that, once this method becomes well-known, that'll be the most frequently used of the page anyway. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:13, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've took Aphaia's idea and ran with it. I added a two-column of forms, since one of my design ideas for the original compact table was that users should not scroll to see all their options (otherwise they might choose a thoroughly suboptimal option). I also added back specific button text, it allowed me to use synonyms to better catch the eye (movie/film, literary work/book). I also like the pastel colouring as a bit of an eye candy. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 03:55, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added the text. It is nice that it is to the side, so no scrolling is ever needed to jump to the right section and start an article. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:05, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Looks great. I say, go with it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:55, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Done ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Using input box
The following text entry fields allow you to type the title of an article and jump immediately to an edit page. As an additional advantage, the page will be pre-filled with an appropriate template, which might save you work and will help you to comply with standard Wikiquote look and feel.

Choose the template that most suits your needs. Be sure to replace all the generated sample text with specific text for your article, and delete any optional text that you don't use.

Creating an Article
How do you create an article? And which one should I choose for something from a manga? --anon

I have a question in a similar vein - what category would a game go in? Aerothorn 01:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This article describes several ways to create an article. It's not clear from the first question if anon is just confused, or has a specific question about a specific method, so I would ask them to read (or re-read) the article and be more specific if they still have a question. The other two are quite understandable, as we don't yet have a specific template or input box for our "electronic games" super-category. I would recommend two ways to start a game article:
 * Edit an existing game article, copy its contents into a text editor to use as a guideline (and then cancel the edit of the original article), change the material in the text editor to reflect the new game, and paste the results into the edit page for the new article. (The edit page can be brought up by any of the four means described in the article.)
 * Pick another type of article (e.g., Films) and use its input box to start an edit page for your new game article, then delete anything that isn't relevant to the game. There is nothing special about starting an article with any input box, except for the template it provides in the edit window. You can create a "people" article from the "theme" input box; what matters is the content of the article that you create.
 * The general category to use is Electronic games, which you use by placing the text:
 * at the bottom of the article. I hope this helps a bit. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * at the bottom of the article. I hope this helps a bit. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

How to setup a redirect
Hello, how to setup a redirect to another page. It would be good if the procedure to do so was added to the page. N6n 07:33, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

User talk:DrMomentum~enwikiquote

~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:57, 29 July 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 DrMomentum. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DrMomentum~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 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

It's Awesome! Totally Awesome! Taglines

Mr. Hand

 * What are you people, on dope?!

Mike Damone

 * [the "five-point plan"] Alright, now pay attention. First of all, Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of ya. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five – now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

Brad Hamilton

 * [After being caught masturbating by Linda] Wait. Just a minute. Doesn't anybody ever fucking knock anymore?
 * Mister, if you don't shut up, I'm gonna kick 100% of your ass!

Dialogue

 * [upon entering the restaurant, Spicoli and his two friends take off their shirts]
 * Brad: Hey, you guys had shirts on when you came in here.
 * Spicoli: Well, something must have happened to them, man. [laughs]
 * Brad: Come on, Spicoli, put the shirts back on. You see that sign?
 * [Brad points out the sign on the door]
 * Spicoli: [reading] No shirt, no shoes...
 * Spicoli and Stoner Buds: No dice! Ohhhh.
 * Brad: Right. Learn it. Know it. Live it.
 * Spicoli: He's the full hot orator.

 * Damone: I mean, don't just walk in. You move across the room. And you don't talk to her. You use your face, you use your body, you use everything. That's what I do. I mean, I just send out this vibe and I have personally found that women do respond. I mean, something happens.
 * Mark: Well, naturally something happens. I mean, you put the vibe out to 30 million chicks, something is gonna happen.
 * Damone: That's the idea, Rat. That's the attitude.
 * Mark: The attitude?
 * Damone: Yeah! The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean, whatever happens, your toes are still tappin'. Now when you got that, then you have the attitude.

 * Spicoli: Hey, you're ripping my card.
 * Mr. Hand: Yes.
 * Spicoli: Hey bud, what's your problem?
 * Mr. Hand: No problem at all. I think you know where the front office is.
 * Spicoli: [stunned] You dick!

 * Mr. Hand: [passing back quizzes] C, D, F, F, F. Three weeks we've been talking about the Platt Amendment. What are you people, on dope?! Where is Jeff Spicoli? I saw him earlier today near the first floor bathrooms. Is he still on campus? Anyone?
 * [Desmond raises hand]
 * Mr. Hand: Yes, Desmond?
 * Desmond: I saw him outside near the food machines.
 * Mr. Hand: How long ago?
 * Desmond: Right before class.
 * Mr. Hand: Alright, bring him in.
 * [Desmond exits]
 * Mr. Hand: What is this fascination with truancy? What is it that gets inside of your heads? There are some teachers at this school who look the other way at truants. It's a little game you both play. They pretend they don't see you, and you pretend you don't ditch! Now, in the end, who pays the price? YOU!

 * Spicoli: [entering] Hey, wait a minute. There's no birthday party for me here! Hola, Mr. Hand.
 * Mr. Hand: What's the reason for your truancy?
 * Spicoli: Just couldn't make it on time.
 * Mr. Hand: You mean you couldn't or wouldn't?
 * Spicoli: See, there was a full crowd at the food lines.
 * Mr. Hand: Food will be eaten on your time. Why are you continuously late for this class, Mr. Spicoli? Why must you shamelessly waste my time like this?
 * Spicoli: [thinks it over] I don't know.
 * Mr. Hand: [writes "I DON'T KNOW" on the chalkboard and then steps back to admire it] I like that. Hmm-hmm. "I don't know." That's nice. "Mr. Hand, will I pass this class?" Gee Mr. Spicoli, I don't know. That's nice, I really like that. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to leave your words on my board for all my classes to enjoy, giving you full credit of course, Mr. Spicoli.
 * Spicoli: Alright!

 * Damone: This is going to be great, Rat. It's like the highlight of their day.
 * Mark: Hey, maybe we'd better call first. I dunno about dropping in like...
 * Damone: What are you kidding? We're gonna surprise them. Look, just fix your collar, alright? Relax, just be cool, attitude, remember? Where'd you get that, outta the hamper?
 * Mark: Hey, come on, this is clean.
 * Damone: Look Rat, it's like riding a bike. Fall off, you're right back on. Mess up a date, do it again.

 * [after Spicoli wrecks Jefferson's car]
 * Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill you and he's gonna kill me, he's gonna kill us!
 * Spicoli: Hey man, just be glad I had fast reflexes!
 * Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna shit!
 * Spicoli: Make up your mind, dude. Is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?
 * Jefferson's Brother: First he's gonna shit, then he's gonna kill us!
 * Spicoli: Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

 * [Spicoli has had a pizza delivered to class]
 * Mr. Hand: Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?
 * Spicoli: Learning about Cuba and having some food.
 * Mr. Hand: Mr. Spicoli, you're on dangerous ground here. You're causing a major disturbance on my time.
 * Spicoli: I've been thinking about this, Mr. Hand. If I'm here and you're here, doesn't that make it our time? Certainly, there's nothing wrong with a little feast on our time.
 * Mr. Hand: [takes away box of pizza from Spicoli] You're absolutely right, Mr. Spicoli. It is our time. Yours, mine and everyone else's in this room. But it is my class.
 * Mr. Hand: [calls up a couple of students] Mr. Spicoli has been kind enough to bring us a snack. Be my guest. Help yourselves. Get a good one.

 * Stacy: Linda, I finally figured it out. I don't want sex. Anyone can have sex.
 * Linda: Yeah, Stacy? What do you want?
 * Stacy: I want a relationship. I want romance.
 * Linda: You want romance? In Ridgemont? We can't even get cable TV here, Stacy, and you want romance!

 * Linda: [On the phone with Stacy] I told you to tell Mike to pay for it. Why didn't you tell him?
 * Stacy: Linda, he didn't show up.
 * Linda: That little prick.
 * Stacy: I even called his house, and his mother told me that he was in the garage out by his father.
 * Linda: Well, Mike Damone's a no-brain little prick, Stacy. I'm not gonna let him get away with this.
 * Stacy: Linda, please don't do anything. I don't even like the guy.
 * Linda: Stacy, he's not a guy. He's a little prick.
 * [The next morning, Mike gets up from his apartment room to head to his car and finds the word "prick" spray painted on his door.]

 * Mark: [inside the locker room] Mike, tell me what went on between you and Stacy.
 * Damone: We were out messing around and something happened.
 * Mark: What do you mean something happened?
 * Damone: Look, I never even talked to her again. Rat, if you asked me, she's a very aggressive girl.
 * Mark: No, I don't know what you mean.
 * Damone: Rat, she never really was your girlfriend.
 * Mark: You know, Damone. I always stick up for you. They say, "Oh, Damone, that loud mouth," and they say that a lot. I say, "Oh, no, you just don't know Damone." I mean, when they call you an idiot, I say Damone's not an idiot. Well, you know something? Maybe they know you pretty good. Maybe I'm just starting to find out.

 * [Spicoli begins counting out change to pay for his food]
 * Brad: Why don't you get a job, Spicoli?
 * Spicoli: What for?
 * Brad: You need money.
 * Spicoli: All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

 * Directed by Ivan Reitman. Written by Harold Ramis, Len Blum, and Daniel Goldberg.

The story of a man who wanted to keep the world safe for democracy...and meet girls Taglines

John Winger

 * [breaking up a fight] Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell's the matter with you?! Stupid! We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw Old Yeller? Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? [raises his hand] Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure. [hands are reluctantly raised] I cried my eyes out. [even more hands go up] So we're all dogfaces. We're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us! We're soldiers, but we're American soldiers! We've been kickin' ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1! Now we don't have to worry about whether or not we practiced. We don't have to worry about whether Captain Stillman wants to have us hung. All we have to do is to be the great American fighting soldier that is inside each one of us. Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud. Fall in!

 * [at Czech border crossing, holding map pretending to be lost tourist, talking to Czech soldiers] We're so goddamn lost. Where the hell is Innsbruck, Austria?

Russell Ziskey

 * I've always been kind of a pacifist. When I was a kid, my father told me, "Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it." I don't know what kind of soldier I'm gonna make, but I want you guys to know that if we ever get into real heavy combat... I'll be right behind you guys. Every step of the way.

Dewey Oxberger

 * [after stepping off the bus] Boy, I hope this is the mess hall. [looks at Captain Stillman] How’s it goin’ Eisenhower?

Dialogue

 * Russell: You could join a monastery.
 * Winger: Did you ever see a monk get wildly fucked by some teenage girls?
 * Russell: Never.
 * Winger: So much for the monastery.

 * Recruiter: Have you ever been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor? That's robbery, rape, car theft, that sort of thing.
 * Winger: Convicted? No.
 * Russell: Never convicted.
 * Recruiter: Now, are either of you homosexuals?
 * Winger: You mean like flaming?
 * Recruiter: Well, it's a standard question we have to ask.
 * Russell: No, we're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.
 * Winger: Yeah ... would they send us someplace special?
 * Recruiter: I guess that's "no" on both. Now if you could just give Uncle Sam your autograph...

 * Sgt. Hulka: Men, welcome to the United States Army. I'm Sergeant Hulka. I'm your drill sergeant. Before we proceed any further, we gotta get something straight. Your mamas are not here to take care of you now. It's just you, me, and Uncle Sam. And before I leave you, you're gonna find out that me and Uncle Sam are one in the same.
 * Winger: Uncle Hulka?
 * Sgt. Hulka: When I tell you move, you'll move fast. When I tell you to jump, you're gonna say, "How high?" And make no mistake. I don't care where you come from, I don't care what color you are, I don't care how smart you are, I don't care how dumb you are, 'cause I'm gonna teach every last one of you how to eat, sleep, walk, talk, shoot, shit like a United States soldier. Understand?

 * Psycho: The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
 * Leon: Ooooooh.
 * Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
 * Sgt. Hulka: Lighten up, Francis. One of these men may save your life one day, ya understand that?
 * Winger: Then again, maybe one of us won’t.

 * Oxberger: My name's Dewey Oxberger. My friends call me Ox. You might have noticed that, uh, I've got a slight weight problem.
 * Soldiers: Nooo! Noooo!
 * Oxberger: Yeah, yeah I do. Yeah, I do. I went to this doctor. Well, he told me I swallow a lot of aggression... along with a lot of pizzas! Ha Ha Ha! Pizzas! I'm basically a shy person, I'm a shy guy. Uh, he suggested taking one these uh, aggression training courses. You know these aggression training courses like EST, those type of things. Anyway, it cost 400 bucks! 400 bucks to join this thing? Well I didn't have the money and I thought to myself, "Join the army"! It's free. So I figured while I'm here I'll lose a few pounds. And you got what, a 6 to 8 week training program here? A real tough one. Which is perfect for me. I'm going to walk out of here a Lean, Mean, Fightin' Machine! Ha ha ha ha!

 * Sgt. Hulka: Okay, Mr. Push-ups, let's hear your story.
 * Winger: Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual. But now I know why I have always lost women to guys like you. I mean, it's not just the uniform. It's the stories that you tell. So much fun and imagination. [points to the soldier next to him] Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. But the two of us together? Forget it! I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer my leadership to this platoon. An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka isn't always gonna be there to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe... Sergeant Hulka.
 * [the soldiers start clapping]
 * Sgt. Hulka: [laughing sarcastically] Well, okay, hotshot. We're gonna see what kind of soldier you are. Reveille is O five hundred. We're going to fall out with locker boxes and we're going to have a locker box inspection. And then we're going to do ten miles. Rain or shine! So, you better hit them bunks my little babies. Or, Sgt Hulka with the big toe is going to see how far he can stick it up your ass!

 * Sgt. Hulka: You know something, soldier, I've noticed that you're always last.
 * Winger: I'm pacing myself, Sergeant.
 * Sgt. Hulka: MOVE IT!!

 * Sgt. Hulka: [banging the lid against a metal garbage can] Out of them bunks! We got a full day ahead of us. We're gonna start out with a five-mile run.
 * [Soldiers groan]
 * Winger: I know that I'm speaking for the entire platoon when I say this run should be postponed until this platoon is better rested.
 * Sgt. Hulka: Well, I'll tell you what, soldier. Let's make it ten miles. Anymore complaints!?
 * Oxberger: [angrily grabs and shakes Winger] Thanks a lot Winger!
 * Soldier: Nice goin’, asshole.
 * Russell: Making friends fast around here John.

 * Sgt. Hulka: I'm talking about something important, like discipline and duty and honor and courage. And you ain't got none of it!
 * Winger: Those words mean so much to a man who scrubs garbage cans. Look, if you don't want me in your Army, kick me out, but get off my back.
 * Sgt. Hulka: Maybe you'd like to take a swing at me.
 * Winger: I 'd like to take a big swing at you, sarge.
 * Sgt. Hulka: Well, go ahead and give it your best shot.
 * Winger: I don't think I want to go to the stockade.
 * Sgt. Hulka: I'll take my hat off. [does so, sets it on a sink] There we are, Winger. Ain't no more drill sergeant. It's just you and me, kid, man to man. So go ahead, give it your best shot. Swing at me. Gutless. Punk.
 * [Winger fakes, then tries to hit Sgt. Hulka, who ducks and punches Winger in his stomach, dropping him to his knees, gasping for breath.]
 * Sgt. Hulka: [putting his hat back on] I'm willing to forget this little incident. And I want you to think real hard about it. And maybe someday you'll understand what the hell I'm talking about.

 * Russell: [tackling Winger who is trying to escape] Where do you think you're going? Are you going AWOL? Are you going AWOL?
 * Winger: No, I'm deserting.
 * Russell: You idiot! You desert now, it's a federal offense!
 * Winger: I'll take my chances with the feds!
 * Russell: You're not going anywhere! You listen to me! You're gonna finish basic training! You're gonna keep your mouth shut, and you're gonna do everything he tells you! You know why?
 * Winger: Why?
 * Russell: Because you talked me into this, you idiot! It was your idea!
 * Winger: I didn't talk you into this. You NEEDED this.
 * Russell: [drags John back to the ground] I'm gonna kill you, damn you! Where's the great pay? Where's the travel? Where's the Winnebago, Goddamnit!

 * Capt. Stillman: [after the men were arrested in a women's mud wrestling bar fight] Well, explain yourselves.
 * Oxberger: Well sir, we were going to this bingo parlor at the YMCA, well one thing led to another, and the instructions got all fouled up there and we ended up...
 * Capt. Stillman: Shut up.
 * Oxberger: Okay, Sir.
 * Capt. Stillman: You men are a disgrace. Maybe a few days in the stockade will help you change your rotten attitudes.
 * Cruiser: But, um, we're supposed to graduate tomorrow, sir.
 * Capt. Stillman: That's even better. Tomorrow, you'll be on parade in front of General Barnicke. And when he sees what total fuck-ups you are, I will recommend that your whole platoon repeat the entire course of basic training.

 * [Winger and his platoon have just arrived late for graduation]
 * Gen. Barnicke: Where the hell have you been, soldier?
 * Winger: Traaaaaaaining, sir!
 * Soldiers: Training, sir!
 * Gen. Barnicke: What kind of training, son?
 * Winger: Aaaaaaarmy training, sir!
 * Soldiers: Army training, sir!
 * [laughter]
 * Winger: Platoon, just like last night, only better! [leading them through drill] And...right shoulder, ho! Order, ho! Sidestep, right! Why did the chicken cross the road?
 * Soldiers To get from the left to the right!
 * Winger: Right!
 * Soldiers: Hey! Hey! Hut!
 * Winger: He stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank!
 * Soldiers: He ain't no chicken no more!
 * Winger, Soldiers: No!
 * Winger: Left flank, left! Queen Anne salute! Three...five...seven...port, ho! Razzle-dazzle!
 * Winger, Soldiers: Hut, two, three, four! Hut, two, three, four! The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog! [completing drill] Sir!
 * [applause]
 * Gen. Barnicke: Where's your drill sergeant, men?
 * Winger: Blown up, sir!
 * Soldiers: Blown up, sir!
 * Capt. Stillman: Yes, sir, these are Sgt. Hulka's men. He was injured during basic training.
 * Gen. Barnicke: I see. So am I to understand that you men completed your training on your own?
 * Winger: That's the fact, Jack!
 * Soldiers: That's the fact, Jack!
 * Gen. Barnicke: Captain?
 * Capt. Stillman: Yes, sir.
 * Gen. Barnicke: These are exactly the kind of go-getters I want working on my EM-50 project in Italy.
 * Capt. Stillman: But, sir, these men are--
 * Gen. Barnicke: Don't "but" me, Captain. I want them on the plane. Tonight!
 * Winger: Gentlemen, it's party time, Italian style!

 * Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like we're going into Wisconsin.
 * Russell: Well, I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it.

 * Russell: Do the words "Act of War" mean anything to you?
 * Winger: I have a plan.
 * Russell: Great! Custer had a plan.

Bilingual citations
If the verses being cited come from a published English translation, it is absurd to cite the original Spanish because the source is the translation itself. Adding both Spanish and English versions extends the article too much; makes the article look bi-lingual and confusing. Presumably the person viewing this English wikiquote cannot understand it anyway. Moshe-paz 02:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Two suggestions: first, read only the part you understand and ignore the rest, as you will be happier and so will everyone else; second, there are many nuances in every language that are not obvious even in the best of translations, so, for people who are bi-lingual or learning a new language and are not confused by seeing two languages on the same page, the original quote with a translation is frequently useful in discovering those nuances.

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable, precise and verifiable source for any quote on this list please move it to Pablo Neruda. --Antiquary 19:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Algún día en cualquier parte, en cualquier lugar indefectiblemente te encontrarás a ti mismo, y ésa, sólo ésa, puede ser la más feliz o la más amarga de tus horas.
 * Someday, somewhere — anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

 * El fuero para el gran ladrón, la cárcel para el que roba un pan.
 * Impunity for the great thief, and jail for the thief who steals a loaf.

 * En un beso, sabrás todo lo que he callado.
 * In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.

 * Hoy es hoy, y ayer se fue. No hay duda.
 * Today is today, and yesterday is gone. There is no doubt.

 * La timidez es una condición ajena al corazón, una categoría, una dimensión que desemboca en la soledad.
 * Shyness is a condition foreign to the heart — a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.

 * Podrán cortar todas las flores, pero no podrán detener la primavera.
 * They may mow down all the flowers, but they can't stop spring.

 * ¿Sufre más aquél que espera siempre que aquél que nunca esperó a nadie?.
 * Does he who waits forever suffer more than he who never waited for anybody?

 * Yo creía que la ruta pasaba por el hombre, y que de allí tenía que salir el destino.
 * I believed that the way passed through Man, and that it was from there that destiny had to emerge.

 * La risa es el lenguaje del alma.
 * Laughter is the language of the soul

 * So is the Andes.
 * Reply, late in life, to the accusation by a journalist that his work was "uneven"

 * Y esto es más facíl que mañana jueves y más difícil que seguir naciendo y es un oficio extraño que te busca y que se esconde cuando lo buscaron y es una sombra con el techo roto, pero en los agujeros hay estrellas.
 * And that is easier than tomorrow being Thursday and yet more difficult than to go on being born: a strange vocation that seeks you out and which goes into hiding when we seek it out a shadow with a broken roof and stars shining through its holes.

 * Everything's so different down here you know, as opposed to being up there. Everything on the ground seems so small and passes by so fast.

Captain George Cummings

 * What am I suppose to tell the weeping mothers that we could've gotten the job done without sacrificing their sons and daughters, but we decided not to?
 * You wanted to be on the cutting edge? Well this is it! Now you will fly with EDI or the next thing you drive just might have a propeller.  It's your choice - make it now.
 * (last words before committing suicide) Would you mind just giving me a couple minutes alone?

Dr. Keith Orbit

 * You don't understand! You can't put limits on learning! Learn this, but don't learn that! EDI can learn from Adolf Hitler or Captain Kangaroo!  Its all the same to him!

EDI (Eddy)

 * Now EDI will prosecute caviar sweep . Do not try to stop me.
 * The chances of survival in single combat are less than nine percent. Talon 1, we must fight as a team.
