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?!

Ah, brilliant. I love that one. Here's a speech by Capitola from the book The Hidden Hand, a book I haven't been able to find anywhere but in the Lamplighter's Publishing catalogue. Anywho, Capitola, being herself a damsel and therefore unable to bodily rescue the damsel in distress, switches places with her. Villains come to force said damsel in distress to marry against her will, and at the chapel Capitola exposes their villainy, after which, while they're still unable to speak because of their shock, she says this. Gives you a hint of her amazing personality.
Villains: (gasping) What is the meaning of this? '
Capitola: It means, your worships' excellencies, that - you - can't - come it! it's no go! this chicken won't fight. It meanst that the fat's in the fire, and the cat's out of the bag. It means confusion! distraction! perdition! and a tearing off of our wigs! It means that game's up, the play's over, villainy is about to be hanged, and virtue about to be rewarded, the curatin is going to drop, and the principal performer - that's I - is giong to he called out amide the applause of the audience!
I love that for some reason.

Ah, yes, Calvin and Hobbes. My little brother is a real life Calvin. Even has a stuffed tiger named -- you guessed it! -- Hobbes. Seriously.

Hmmmmmmm..........
Can video game quotes count? If so....
Someguyyouprobablydon'tknow:(Is talking to a reasonably fat man):That means I'm in third place? Oh baby!
^I may have misunderstood what the game producers meant, but I still think it is funny for some reason...

The first quote is kind of innapropraite. D:

Sorry about that.

I didn't really notice that they cut his hair because I don't watch House much.
So, quotes that I said yesterday: "I think it's sated to the tree!" What does sated mean? No idea, just said it... And, another quote: "A cubey burritto!" I said those quotes yesterday, so, now, what was I going to type? I forgot, so, bye...

Susan Sto Helit: [reading a bedtime story to the children she is the governess of] And then Jack chopped down what was the world's last beanstalk, adding murder and ecological terrorism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned and all the giant's children didn't have a daddy anymore. But he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you're a hero, because no one asks inconvenient questions.

I guess I probably shouldn't even get started on Monty Python... or The Princess Bride... or Star Wars. Lots of great quotes from all three, though.
My friend got a fortune cookie today that said, "Confucius he say, Showoff get shown up in showdown."

Vimes: [speaking about Vetinari's intelligent rat spy/servants] But they're helping you?
Vetinari: Mutual. It's mutual. Payment for services rendered, you might say.
Vimes: How can you help rats, sir?
Vetinari: Advice. I advise them, you know. That's the trouble with people like Wonse. They never know when to stop. Rats, snakes, and scorpions. It was sheer bedlam in here when I came. The rats were getting the worst of it, too.
Vimes: You mean you sort of trained them?
Vetinari: Advised. Advised. I suppose it's a knack.

Moist: You can trust us.
Vetinari: Yes. I know. Come, Mr. Fusspot. There may be cake.
(Mr. Fusspot is a dog)

Greenyham: You can't do that!
Vetinari: Can I not? I am a tyrant. It's what we do.
Greenyham: But there's no evidence! That wizard's lying! Someone must have been bribed!
Vetinari: Mr. Greenyham, one more uninvited outburst from you and you will be imprisoned. I hope that is clear?
Greenyham: On what charge?
Vetinari: There doesn't have to be one!

Vetinari: One of the advantages of horses that people often point out is that they very seldom explode. Almost never, in my experience, apart from that unfortunate occurrence in the hot summer a few years ago.

Vetinari: So, let me recap, then. I don't think anyone wants to see two grown nations scrapping over a piece of rock. We don't want to fight, but-
Lord Selachii: By jingo, if we do, we'll show those-
Vetinari: We have no ships. We have no men. We have no money, too.

Mr. Boggis: Why are our people going out there?
Vetinari: Because they are showing a brisk pioneering spirit and seeking wealth and... additional wealth in a new land.
Lord Downey: What's in it for the Klatchians?
Vetinari: Oh, they've gone out there because they are a bunch of unprincipled opportunists always ready to grab something for nothing.
Mr. Burleigh: A masterly summation, if I may say so, my lord.
Vetinari: [glancing down at notes] Oh, I do beg your pardon. I seem to have read those last two sentences in the wrong order.

I think you just made me a fangirl too, my dear.

*nods* Basically any scene with Vetinari in it ends up being epic. Especially in Jingo; that entire book is one long Crowning Moment of Awesome for Vetinari. Leonard of Quirm gets some good ones in it, too, like when he sinks The Boat at the end because he can't stand the idea of it being used as a weapon.
