TV quotes meme.
TV quotes meme.
Just like the film quotes meme, only TV programmes. Knowing my taste in telly might help. Or maybe not. (-:
To recap, meme rules:
1. Pick 15 of your favourite TV programmes.
2. Hit the web and find a quote from each show.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the show title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING, any foo' can use a web search.
The "bonus" is a show that already appears in the main list.
1) You are surrounded by armed bastards!
2) Don't give me any of that "Star Trek" crap, it's too early in the morning.
3) You are entering the realm which is unusual. Maybe it's magic or contains some kind of monster. The second one. Prepare to enter... the Scary Door.
4) What can I say? I work in mysterious ways. Also some fairly straightforward ones.
5) You will address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!
6) Boy, was Spielberg ever wrong. 'Close Encounters' my ass.
7) George, as crazy as this may sound, you're going to have to trust me.
8) Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
9) I said you're a coward and a piss-pot. Now what are you gonna do about it?
Nothing. I just wanted you to face me so -she- could get behind you...
10) "I foresee a rocky romance between superstar Madonna and super-witness Kato Kaelin." Well, that's a gimme, that's not really going out on a limb, is it? "I foresee Author J. D. Salinger finally publishing a new novel and hitting the talk show circuit to promote it." Hmmm... that's just playing the odds. "I foresee the revelation that not Elvis, but rather Buddy Holly is still alive, having faked his own death so many years ago. Holly will not only reemerge but also regroup with the Crickets and they will headline in next year's Lalapalaza..." Lalapaz... pazoola? What the hell is Lalapalazo?
11) Come with me if you want to live.
12) Right, I'm going to the shops. Do you want anything?
Porn.
Tim, I'm not going to buy you porn. You can get it from railway sidings like everybody else.
I can't, I'm an adult. I'm supposed to leave it there.
13) Hampstead wasn't good enough for you, was it? You had to go poncing off to Barnsley...!
14) I'm a spy.
A spy? And you live here?
Yes, I work for one of the nation-states of this era, Great Britian, which is battling various other nations in what is called the Cold War.
15) Ninety nine point nine nine nine ad infinitum percent of the best relationships in the recorded history of the world have had to make do with -acceptable- happiness.
Bonus) Revenge is a dish best served IMMEDIATELY.
