Okay, so here's a thing you need to know about me. I am a quotaholic. Seriously. It's a compulsive disorder. I hear an awesome quote and I have to memorize it and/or write it down for future reference. I have multiple folders on my computer for quotes (some things are so quotable that they need their own folders. Don't judge me). So I'm not even going to try narrowing this down to one quote. We'll be lucky if I can narrow it down to one for each of my favorite shows. This will be a quoting extravaganza - a quotapalooza, if you will - so buckle your seatbelts, kids.
"Did you ever hear about the Russian gulag? String of prisons in northern Siberia. The Russians didn't have a lot of high tech equipment up there, so they kinda had to make do with what was around, sort of like what I'm doing right now. You probably don't think that I can force this towel down your throat, but trust me, I can. All the way. Except I hold onto this one little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest it, I pull it out, taking your stomach lining with it. Most people take about a week to die. It's very painful." – Jack Bauer (24)
"You look like hell. Not the fun one, where they burn you with hot pokers for all eternity, but the hardcore one, you know, with Nixon and Britney Spears?" – Angel (Angel)
"Sorry. Is this something we should all be discussing?" - Wesley
"No." - Angel
"It just sounds a little serious." - Wesley
"It was mostly... theoretical. We..." - Angel
"We were just working out a b— Look, if cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?" - Spike
"Ah. You've been yelling at each other for 40 minutes about this? (pause) Do the astronauts have weapons?" - Wesley (Angel)
"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. You'll see what I mean." – Whistler (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
"You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of - you. Hey, look at me. When I say I love you, it’s not because I want you, or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You’re the one, Buffy." - Spike
"I don't want to be the one." - Buffy
"I don't want to be this good-looking and athletic. We all have our crosses to bear." - Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
"Why didn't you stay in the car?" - Sarah
"You know what? It's never safe in the car!" - Chuck (Chuck)
"You and what army?" - Awesome
"Uh, that would be Sarah and her fists." - Chuck (Chuck)
"Give all of us gathered here tonight the strength to remember that life is so very fragile. We are all vulnerable. We will all, at some point in our lives, fall. We will all fall. We must keep this in our hearts. That what we have is special. That it can be taken from us. And when it is taken from us, we will be tested. We will be tested to our very souls." - Coach Taylor (Friday Night Lights)
“Yes, hitting her with a frying pan’s a good idea. We might wanna have a back-up plan though, just in case she isn’t a cartoon.” – Chandler (Friends)
"Rory? Are you in any way malnourished, or in need of some international relief organization to recruit a celebrity to raise money on your account?" - Richard
"I'm good." - Rory (Gilmore Girls)
"Hey, it hasn't happened, has it? It has 'will have going to have happened' happened, but it hasn't actually 'happened' happened yet, actually." - Lister
"Poppycock! It will be happened; it shall be going to be happening; it will be was an event that could will have been taken place in the future. Simple as that. Your bucket's been kicked, baby." - Rimmer (Red Dwarf)
"Kryten, if you put that on, I'm not gonna help you out. I'm not helping you again, not this time." - Lister
"You think I need your help? You think I can't extract my own head from the waste disposal unit?" - Kryten (Red Dwarf)
"The reason the sun never sets on the British Empire is because God doesn't trust the British in the dark." - Professor Arturo (Sliders)
"What's the word?" – Logan
"The one they call Bootsy told me no and went on to suggest I perform sexual intercourse upon my own person." – Dick
"Doesn't he understand? If you could do that, you'd never come to school." – Logan
"Boy, that's the truth." – Dick (Veronica Mars)
"I thought our story was epic, you know, you and me." - Logan
Epic how?" - Veronica
"Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined, bloodshed. Epic. But summer's almost here, and we won't see each other at all. And then you leave town... and then it's over." - Logan
"Logan..." - Veronica
"I'm sorry about last summer. You know, if I could do it over..." - Logan
"Come on. Ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?" - Veronica
"No one writes songs about the ones that come easy." - Logan (Veronica Mars)
"'We hold these truths to be self-evident,’ they said, ‘that all men are created equal.’ Strange as it may seem, that was the first time in history that anyone had ever bothered to write that down. Decisions are made by those who show up." – President Bartlet (The West Wing)
“The more photo-friendly of the two turkeys gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's petting zoo; the other one gets eaten.” – C.J.
“If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.” – President Bartlet (The West Wing)
