Hello and welcome to Day 6.
Quotes. Wow. Okay, there's a zillion of these that I'd like to post.
TV Shows
- "His legs flail about as if independent from his body!" - Chandler Bing, Friends
- BARTLET: I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an "abomination!"
JACOBS: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does.
BARTLET: Yes it does. Leviticus!
JACOBS: 18:22.
BARTLET: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I wanted to sell my youngest daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be?
BARTLET: While thinking about that, can I ask another? My chief of staff, Leo McGarry, insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? Or is it okay to call the police?
BARTLET: Here's one that’s really important, because we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town. Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? One last thing. While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building, when the president stands, nobody sits.
The West Wing
- Marshall: Remember that night where you drank the twelver of Molson and got all "Super Canadian"?
[flashback]
Robin: [holding a hockey stick] Stanley Cup. Game six, eh? The Rangers are aboot to be sorry they ever played shinny with the Canucks.
Marshall: Hey Robin, I'll give you twenty bucks if you can shoot it through the front door.
Robin: Oh! You're nuttier than a Tim Horton's maple log! Timmy Ho! [tries to shoot the puck through the door]
How I Met Your Mother
- "Her name is Miranda Mona Montgomery. And she is a KANE!" - Erica Kane, All My Children
Okay, there are WAY too many good ones for TV shows, but that's a sampling.
Other Sources
'Come again?' she asked. Yes tomorrow, under the sodium street lights, under the tick of the clock. Under my obligations, my history, my fears, this now. This fizzy, giddy all consuming now. I will not let time lie to me. I will not listen to dead voices or unborn pain. 'What if?' has no power against 'What if not?' The not of you is unbearable. I must have you. Let them prate, those scorn-eyed anti-romantics. Love is not the oil and I am not the machine. Love is you and here I am. Now. - Jeanette Winterson, The Poetics of Sex
"Aimer, ce n'est pas se regarder l'un l'autre, c'est regarder ensemble dans la même direction." (Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.) -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
And once again, I get far too distracted to finish up a post and do it justice. But it's a post!
