The Quote Thread

The musical group Foreigner had a couple good songs

From "As Good As It Gets":

MELVIN: Sell crazy someplace else; we're all stocked up here.

I'm not really a big Foreigner fan; in fact, '80s music was never really my favorite. But if I had to pick a favorite band, well, maybe The Cars or Elton John. Brian Wilson had a great solo album in '88, too. Oh, and I can't forget Nik Kershaw.

From "Million Dollar Baby":

Priest: So Frankie, what's on your mind?
Frankie: Oh, just the usual is-Jesus-god thing.
Priest: Frankie, most people learn the answer to that in grade school. Jesus is the son of God, OK?
Frankie: So, what is he, some sort of demigod?
Priest: There are no demigods, you (bloody) pagan! (pause) So, how are the girls?

I was born in the late '80s, so naturally I don't know that much about '80s music; except that I LOVE "True" by Spanadu Ballet.

HENNY YOUNGMAN: You can't buy love, but you pay heavily for it.

Hey, they're on the Live Aid DVD box-set. Do you have it yet?

LUCY: OK now Fred, when Ricky comes home tonight, you're gonna go over there, and you're gonna turn on that television. And you know who's going to be on that television?
FRED: Well, I can only hope it's Faye Emerson.

I can't think of anythign to say, but these Alice Through the Looking Glass quotes are so darn funny I have to keep coming here to post them...

Alice - THE WHITE KNIGHT IS SLIDING DOWN THE POKER. HE BALANCES VERY BADLY

This quote is from Boy Meets World, Ericis planning a surprise party for his dad and plans to give his sister Morgan something that will make her sick, to distract his dad, then he says

"If Morgan actually goes South, if she croaks, It's gonna put a damper on the entire party. That's why we get....HORSIE RIDES. (shows a picture of him on a horse). You see, there's me, Eric on a horsie, lets call him Pete. Me and Pete having Fun, Joy, Merriment.

*cough cough* Cliched joke...

Meep meep meep meep meep meep- beaker

DanDan, I applaud your quote. <applause>
Does anybody have any idea what this conversation is about anymore? Because I'm lost.

Discussing the difference between Jewish youth groups and Christian youth groups:
Yes, the goal of Christian youth groups is definately not to make more Jewish babies.

Sorry, but I ain't got a clue! Anyway, what was I thinking....oh yeah.

DARRIN: "Oh honey, thank you. I'll make it up to you, I promise. I'll even be nice to your mother...I may get ill, but I'll try."
SAMANTHA: "You can begin by not insulting her."
DARRIN: "I didn't insult the old war horse!"

It's about 3 pages

And now, for the infamous finale of 'The Dead Parrot Sketch':
John Cleese: He's NOT pining, he's PASSED ON! This parrot is NO MORE! It's a stiff, bereft of life; he rests in peace! He's [CENSORED] snuffed it! He's off the twig and kicked the bucket! He's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! He's extinct, in his entirety - THIS is an EX-PARROT!

Hahahaha! Good point, Skeeter.

"Alice could not find water to revive the White King, but she did find a bottle of ink..."

Let's start a new topic. So...what's everyone's favourite Madonna song....OK, talk about whatever. I'll just be quiet now

The woman at the end of The Simpsons in the credits for "Gracie Films": Shhhhh.

Stewie from Family

I want some Ice Cream, but No Sprinkles, for every Sprinkle I find, I shall Kill You!

Sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle.

SAMANTHA: (She and Darrin after a dispute about her using witchcraft to keep the pancakes from burning.) "Darrin, why don't you just go to work!"
DARRIN: "I'LL GO WHEN I'M GOOD AND READY, WHICH FORTUNATELY FOR BOTH OF US IS RIGHT NOW!"

Bit of a difficult question there Dan. Possibly "Holiday", or maybe "Ray of Light". Never was a huge Madonna fan, but my father likes her.

GEORGE: (to busboy) Antonio, I'm really sorry about everything. The job, the cat... (Kramer trips and breaks lamp)... the lamp.

I like "Ray of Light," but as an ex-obsessive-james-bond-fan, I can't let "Die Another Day" go unmentioned.

Daddy, it's kind of hard to hide behind a dog that's only as big as your head. -my sister at dinner tonight when Mom was pretending to get mad at Dad.

Halle Berry was so sexy in that movie.

And now...a quote that just popped into my head on the spot!

"Sometimes, I beat myself up, just to get some sympathy!"

I like Halle Berry, but I mostly saw "Monster's Ball" for Peter Boyle. You can't beat "Young Frankenstein" in terms of acting.

Appropriately enough, from "Young Frankenstein":

Frau Blucher: Would the doctor like a brandy before he retires?
Dr. F: Oh, no thanks.
Frau Blucher: Some milk, perhaps?
Dr. F: No, that's alright.
Frau Blucher: Ovaltine?

I haven't seen either of those movies. Let's steer the convo back to Madonna. Ray of Light is okay, but I like Beautiful Stranger. But if you want to dig back in the vault, I LOVE Vogue.

From a friend of the family -
This is the best Tuesday-night Pizza I've had all week!

"Vogue" is alright, I suppose. But I do like Cyndi Lauper more than Madonna. So call me stupid.

From "Dave Barry Turns 50":

"A hit song in 1947 was 'Peg O'My Heart', by the Harmonicats. Do you think they put that on their tax returns? 'Occupation: Harmonicat'."
