We-ell, as you
We-ell, as you all probably know, a while ago we had a thread for quotes ((*thinks: Hey! Joe Moses/Snape! Stop reading my post over aloud, it's very distracting"*)).
Rather than resurrect the old one *again*, I'm just going to make a new one because I'm lazy like that. Silence your sniggering!
Well. Right. Quotes! Anything and everything! Wee!

"Hello, sick people and their loved ones. In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring conversations later, I'm Dr. Gregory House. You can call me Greg. I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning."
"Short, sweet, grab a file."
"This little ray of sunshine is Dr. Lisa Cuddy. Dr. Cuddy runs the entire hospital, so she's much too busy for all of you. I am a bored... certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor employed at this hospital who is here against his will.
[to Cuddy] That is true, isn't it?
So. Who wants me?"
~House. Speaking of which, what did they do to his hair for the upcoming season?! Did they seriously cut it?!

Hey, how did you know I was sniggering? :\
'Oh, you don't like the hula? I bet you can't do it!"

I don't remember that quote....
(December 28, 2009 - 5:19 pm)
Oh, I think it might have been from a book I was reading..... *drifts off in vague misty floaty world*

They cut his hair? Of course, you would notice something like that.

Hmmm, you use my friend Megan's punchline - "cause I'm cool like that" or " cause I'm lazy like that" or any such variation. It's started to rub off on me, too.
And for this quote, you need a little background info. It was a year or two ago, and I was playing Lego Star Wars, the video game. My brother was in the background watching while I was attacked by a bunch of clone troopers and, disapproving of my choice of a lightsaber character, said "I like guns. Long range weaponry is so much more efficient." Out of context, that could be used effectively to blackmail him in the future. (jk) :D

Hm... just because: "And the mass is just... the mass of something, I don't know how else to say it." ~Our advanced math teacher. She has a sense of humour! *dances* Our first really good homeroom teacher in *counts* three years! (On that note, "Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more." -Bob Talbert)
Some LM, because I too am lazy like that.
"I wanna taste their tears / I wanna hear their screams / I want the special rush you get from crushing / Hopes and dreams!" [some of the best. lyrics. ever.]

"Sure, it's sheer abuse of power / So? / Ain't that what power's for?" [yes, these are totally out of order]

"Oh, nothing drastic darling, I'm sure. ...Ooh look, small print! 'Your soul is mine forever and you're doomed to spend eternity in my watery hell-soaked lair.' Lawyers! Doncha just love 'em!" [brilliance]

"Don't be shy, Ariel darling, IT'S ME! Your aunty Ursula. I've known you since you were a minnow."
"The ocean wasn't big enough for the both of us...?"
"DIE? Oh please. It's a- a bauble. A vessel, for your voice. Trust me, darling, your vibratto- your legato- even your belt... they'll all be safe inside."
"Look who has my black magic now. Don't be shy- tail bait- Speak up!"
"Remember, child- I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!"
"NOW GIVE ME BACK MY SHELL!"
"Sing or I'll turn you both into handbags."
"Brother darling! You're right on cue!"
"Even drew a little heart above the I..."
And so on.

Some of my favorite quotes are from Calvin and Hobbes. For instance:
Calvin- "Just think! With the push of a button you could be a 500-story gastropod--a slug the size of the Chrysler building!"
Hobbes- "Gosh, how can I refuse?"
Or: Calvin- "This would be a lot more fun if Hobbes was here. I can't beleive we left him at home. .... I hope he's ok. What's he going to eat? We didn't leave any food out, and we'll be gone almost two whole days! Hobbes will be starving! .... I think I'll let Dad go into the house first."

Not hard to see that we all think highly of Ursula...
From Ranger's Apprentice, which I am reading and greatly enjoying:
"We can't have him throwing people into moats. It's not... diplomatic."
~
Halt: "The Rangers were founded over one hundred and fifty years ago, in King Herbert's realm. Do you know anything about him?"
Will: "Oh... yes, King Herbert. We learned about him."
Halt: "Really? Perhaps you could tell me a little about him?"
Will: "He was... the king. ...He was the king... a hundred and fifty years ago."
Halt: *smile*
Will: "Ummm... well, I seem to recall that he was the one who founded the Ranger Corps."
Halt: "Really? You recall that, do you?"
Will: "Ahhh, well, when I say he founded the Rangers, I actually mean he was king when the Ranger Corps were founded."
Halt: "A hundred and fifty years ago?"
Will: *empathetic nod* "That's right."
Halt: "Well, that's remarkable, seeing how I just told you those facts a minute or so ago." *pause* "Boy, if you don't know something, don't try to bluff your awy through it. Simply tell me, 'I don't know,' is that clear?"
Will: "Yes, Halt." *pause* "Halt?"
Halt: "Yes?"
Will: About King Herbert... I don't really know."
Halt: "Well, I never would've guessed."

And people wonder why I'll be reading calmly and then suddenly go into mild hysterics...
(September 24, 2009 - 3:11 pm)
That is one of my favorite parts of the RA books. You'd never know it to look at him, but Halt has a great sense of humor. That expression is a bit strange to use when talking about a character in a book, but I have intricately detailed models of the characters in my head. Half an hour after reading Pride and Prejudice I caught myself still thinking with a British accent. :P

Equal Rites is particularly bad about the "random giggle mode!" thing. Especially at the end, I couldn't stop laughing all through English 11 Honors and the SSR... thingy.
Also, Ursula is amazing. <3
A bit of an odd Crowning Moment of Heartwarming AND a Crowning Moment of Funny:
Death: [frycook!mode] WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU FEEL WARM AND CONTENT AND WISH THINGS WOULD STAY THAT WAY?
Harga: I guess you'd call it happiness.
I literally went, "Awwwwww," and then burst into hysterical laughter the first time I read that.
Also:
THAT'S MORTALS FOR YOU. THEY'VE ONLY GOT A FEW YEARS IN THIS WORLD AND THEY SPEND THEM ALL IN MAKING THINGS COMPLICATED FOR THEMSELVES. FASCINATING. HAVE A GHERKIN.
Actually, really, ANYTHING Death says is a Crowning Moment of Funny. This leads to some interesting conversations with non-Discworld geeks: "Oh yes, Death is terribly funny!" "..."
(September 24, 2009 - 6:54 pm)
@ TNO: CoM is defientely not my favorite Discworld book, but there are some really funnny moments with Death:
Rincewind: "You-"
Rincewind: "You---"
Rincewind: "You little (such a one one, while wearing a copper nose ring, stands in a footbath atop Mount Raruaruaha during a heavy thunderstorm and shouts that Alohura, the godess of lightning, has the facia feautures of a diseased uloruha root)!"
Death: "JUST DOING MY JOB."
Haha. You gotta love that insane Caps Lock. As for people who have no idea what I mean, it's funny in the context. Really.
(October 13, 2009 - 9:25 pm)
The parenthetical is especially funny in context, as it's a ridiculous callback to a normal metaphor earlier in the book.
From Making Money:
Moist: I'm not an impostor, at least. Moist von Lipwig is my given name.
Topsy Lavish: Yes, I can't imagine you would have had much choice in the matter.
and
"Lord Vetinari has a black coach.
Other people also have black coaches.
Therefore, not all black coaches belong to Lord Vetinari."
