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?!

Susan: How's the writing?
Hunter: It's going. I'm getting nervous that our play is a little doughnuts for dinner.
Susan: Doughnuts for Dinner? Is that a play?
Hunter: No, doughnuts for dinner, you know, it seems like a good idea at the time but, half an hour later you're hungry for something a little meatier.
Susan: A little meatier, like, a "tiny asteroid" is a "little meteor"?
Hunter: Exactly... no. I mean I don't want this to be just sketches and novelty songs linked together. I want there to be substance, not just fluff, not that there's anything wrong with fluff, but I wanna strive for something that really makes people pay attention. You know what I mean?
Susan: Oh... [snickers] I totally stopped listening.

*Jeff and Hunter walk in on the end of Susan and Heidi's duet*
Jeff: Hi, uh... What's going on?
Susan: I don't know, I was just standing here quietly and Heidi was like... uh uh guh uh uh...
Heidi: Thanks Susan.

Susan: Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speedboat. ... Ladle into that barrel of monkeys you call a head and scoop out an image monkey... Then let that monkey drive a speed boat!

Susan: I am eight years old in Ohio, and it's time for the annual church bazaar. They're having a cake baking contest, I am going to be the big star! But I don't want to make a German chocolate, or a 7-layer I'll never complete. So I show up with pride this morning with a tray of rice crispy treats... And they try to push them aside, say that they are to strange to compete... And sure, most of the judges award the red velvet... But one picks the rice crispy treat... Let our show be the rice crispy treat...

Also:
Susan: I'd like to apologize for any weirdness...
Heidi: Me too; it can be really scary being the 'new kid'...
Susan: I'll bet.
Heidi: I'll bet your bet.
Susan: I do, I bet.

So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.
As you might imagine, that sort of situation can be quite disturbing.
I've been many things in my life. Student. Spy. Sacrifice. Potted plant.
Everybody has a grandfather -- two of them, actually. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exsist. In that way, grandfathers are kind of like kangaroos.

...I may have to read that now...
"...Then bang, crash, and the lightning flashed! And-- but that's another story, never mind, anyway--"

"With a giant, we all have to go to battle! A giant's the worst! A giant has a brain! Hard to outwit a giant. A giant's like us, only bigger. Much, much bigger! So big that we are just an expendable... [sees a bug on the floor] ...bug beneath it's feet. [squashes bug] Boom! Crush! [eats the bug and leaves]"

"I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right. I'm the Witch."

"It's his father's fault that the curse got placed, and the place got cursed in the first place!"

"A bear? No, bears are sweet! Besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet?"
"A dragon?"
"No scorch marks; usually they're linked.
"Manticore?"
"Imaginary!"
"Gryphon?"
"Extinct!"
"Giant?"
"...Possible. Very, very possible."

I officially love that play. And Bernadette Peters. And Stephen Sondheim, but that goes without saying by now, doesn't it?

Oh? What's it like there? ... Oh, dear, that was rather snarky of me, wasn't it? Especially since I know what you mean. :-D

Not all librarians are evil cultists. Some are vengeful undead who want to suck your soul.

The quotes thread must not be allowed to die! LIVE, thread, LIVE!
Rincewind: "You--"
Rincewind: "You--"
Rincewind: "You little (such a one who, 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
facial feautures of a diseased uloruha root)!"
Death: "JUST DOING MY JOB." -- CoM (I know that one's been posted already. So? It's funny. Just as a side note, I really think pterry's affecting my brain. Since I started to read Discworld books I go around saying things that don't make any sense whatsoever to anyone and standing in front of my locker giggling madly at something that happened in the book. And I went through the budgeting assignment I'm doing in Life Skills / Technology and every time I found the word insurance I replaced it with inn-sewer-ants. And I don't know anybody in RL who likes them except for my uncle and aunt, R and C. Who lend me the books. Because my library doesn't have very many of them. And some sadist bought The Light Fantastic for the library and not CoM. GRR. But R and C had it! Right now I'm reading Mort. And I got Going Postal and Hogfather from the library yesterday (Yes. I go every week. Again, so?) -- two that they do have.)

"When I have a little money, I buy books. If any is left, I buy food and clothes." -- Erasmus. Now that was a man who had his priorities straight.
