Good quotes.... Can

Good quotes.... Can be from a movie, book, person, etc. 

EXAMPLE: 

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, its too dark to read."   -Groucho Marx

I love the Ursula quotes... I've never seen the play but adore the CD.

"When I win, I'm a genius. If I lose, then I'm crazy. That's the way history is written." -Artemis Fowl

"Yes, but unfortunately, there are a lot of people without brains who do an awful lot of talking, wouldn't you agree?" -Scarecrow in WoO

Ford: "It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
Arthur: "What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
Ford: "You ask a glass of water."

That would be another Douglas N. Adams.

From HIVE's sequel, by Mark Walden:

"I am getting tired of killing you, Raven." / "That's a pity. I don't thin I'd ever get tired of killing you."

"Now, if nobody minds, I have a planet to take over..."

"Oh, I wasn't cheap. When all this is over, Cypher has promised me a continent. I'm not sure which one I'm going to choose yet, but I'll worry about that later."

And an original:

My teacher: IF YOU SAY GOD BLESS YOU AGAIN, YOU WILL RIGHT IT UNTIL YOUR FACE TURNS BLUE!
Me: About how many times would that be...?
Teacher: Oh, about five hundred or so.
Me: *nod* I see.
Random kid: *sneezes*
Me: God bless you.
Teacher: Five hundred times! At recess!
Me: Right.
Random kid 2: *sneezes*
Me: If I say God bless you twice, do I have to write it 1,000 times?

Sherie Rene Scott is incomparable, though. I wish she hadn't left, even though that's what always happens. Faith Prince just didn't fit the role. Although Heidi was good.

I've never heard the other two, but Sherie Rene Scott was indeed amazing. Singing-wise, as I wouldn't know about the acting...

Faith Prince took over the role after SRS left, and then Heidi Blickenstaff (sp?) took over after FP left.

And SRS is indeed an amazing actor. She's funny, too, from what I've seen of her in interviews... "Every night, before I go on, I pray, Dear God, Please let me scare the children. Amen. ...And that seems to work."

"Unbelievable! 'Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty?' It raises the dead! ... ...Americans!" ~Giles ranting about Joyce in BtVS season 3.

"The humans are laughing at me!" -Autumn Joy (my little sister. And I asked her if I could put this quote on here, and she said yes.)

Brilliant.

I think everyone knows these next two, but anyway:

"When I get money, I go out and buy books. If there's money left over, I buy food." -Abe Lincoln. Before he became president, obviously.

"A person's a person no matter how small." And we all know who said that, so yes.

Also, just because I found this so amusing:

"My. And I thought those vampire books were bad." -Bellatrix Lestrange as written by TNO (umlaut).

I'm deeply flattered. *bows*

"But, I neeeeed my tacos! Or my head will explode! That happens to me sometimes you know." ~GIR

"I was waiting for you to stop on your own. But it's been three hours, Zim! Three HOURS!" ~The Red Tallest.

"A sour sucker never killed you." - A quote from a quite grumpy school nurse. XP

My brother: Oh no! C---- is here!  ((Didn't want to put the name))

My brother's friend: Yes. Did you hear the screaming when he arrived?

(( I just like that one. XD ))

 

I just felt like using original ones. ;) I can't think of any more right now, though... I'll be back later! :D

*looks back over last few posts* Yeah... we have been getting slightly morbid, eh?

Anyway...

Mal: Look, if you're going to be a danger to my crew you might as well just shoot me now.

River: [continues to type away at the computer and nonchalantly cocks the gun she's pointing at Mal]

Mal: O-or we could talk some more.

*

"I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I- [THUD]" ~saddest. moment. ever.

*

The Operative: Target the Reavers. Target the Reavers! Target everyone! SOMEBODY FIRE!

*

Wash: It's ok! I'm a leaf on the wind!

Mal: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

*

Mal: Was that the primary buffer panel? Did the primary buffer panel just fall off my gorram ship for no apparent reason?

*

Wash: This landing's about to get pretty interesting.

Mal: Define interesting.

Wash: Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die?

Mal: [on intercom] This is your captain, we have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some mild turbulence and then... explode...

*

Jayne: We gonna explode? I don't wanna explode.

Mal: Jayne, how many weapons are you planning on taking? You've only got the two arms.

Jayne: Well, I just get excitable as to the choices, I just like to keep all options open...

Mal: I don't plan on any shooting taking place during this job.

Jayne: Yeah, well what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar.

Mal: No grenades.

Jayne: Aw...

Mal: No grenades.

*

Zoë: [to Jayne] Those grenades?

Jayne: Yeah, captain don't want 'em.

*

Jayne: [shooting at Reavers, to Mal] Oh, boy, sure would be nice if we had some grenades, don't you think?

"But... we could be friends!"

"We /could/ be rare specimens of exotic Africa dancing elephants. But we're not." Pause. "At least, /I'm/ not."
