I do not understand why everything in this script must inevitably explode. -Teal'c
As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a Godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you? -Holly
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a *****' -Edgar Mitchell
Don't take no shit off fools. Judge a person by what's in 'em, not how they look. An' you do the right thing. Be one of the good guys. 'Cause there's way too many of the bad. -John Custer
Let's show this prehistoric ***** how we do things downtown! -Pete Venkman
Allow me to respond in the most tactful and dignified manner I can muster in these situations: YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG. -moviebob
That which does not kill you was simply not permitted to do so for purposes of the plot. -Shamus Young
Life is wasted on the living! -The Master
That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath. None of my teammates will. Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of... cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am. -Superman
The Time Lords were the Type 4 civilization. We had no equals. We controlled the fundamental forces of the entire universe. Nothing could communicate with us on our level. Most races pray to lesser beings than the Time Lords. -Time Lord Marnal
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. -Bruce Lee
The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun. -The Engineer
The East German border guards didn't interfere. Instead they came up to openings in the Wall and made V signs and posed for photographs. One of them even stuck his hand through and asked would somebody please give him a piece of the concrete to keep as a souvenir.
The hand of that border guard - that disembodied, palm-up, begging hand... I looked at that and I began to cry. I really didn't understand before that moment. I didn't realize until just then - we won. The Free World won the Cold War. The fight against life-hating, soul-denying, slavish communism - which has shaped the world's politics this whole wretched century - was over.
I say, Shut up you egghead flap-gums. We've got the whole rest of history to sweat the small stuff. And those discredited peace creeps, they can zip their soup-coolers, too. They think Mikhail Gorbachev is a visionary? Yeah, he's a visionary. Like Hirohito was after Nagasaki. We won. And let's not let anybody forget it. We the people, the free and equal citizens of democracies, we living exemplars of the Rights of Man, tore a new asshole in International Communism. Their Wall is breached. Their gut-string is busted. The rot of their dead body politic fills the nostrils of the earth with a glorious stink. We cleaned the clock of Marxism. We mopped the floor with them. We ran the Reds through the wringer and hung them out to dry. The privileges of liberty and the sanctity of the individual went out and whipped butt.
-- PJ O'Rourke, "The Death of Communism," 1989
