Purpose: To put up interesting but random quotes from either movies or tv shows.
Desire: Somewhat similar to the "finish this sentence" or "continue this story" type threads, but not with that as a specific goal.
Rules: Single sentences, or the minimum number of consecutive sentences to convey a single thought by a character in a scene. NO blocks of dialog, please.
It is *not* necessary to identify the prior quotation, but absolutely feel free if you know where it's from.
I'll start...
"The puzzle is for me to decipher. The ship is antiquated, unlike anything I've seen in the star system -- or outside of history books, for that matter."

From "Real Genius": I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

"Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves."
and from the same movie
"We got our own ammunition, it's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes... pretty pictures. Scares the hell outta people! We have a loudspeaker here, and when we go into battle we play music, very loud. It kind of... calms us down."

Wash: "I don't want you to spare me, Mal. If you think you know what's happening, then you tell me. You wouldn't spare Zoe if she were in this situation with you, would you? You would be planning, and plotting and possibly scheming. So whatever Zoe would do in this instance is what I wanna do. Do you know why? No matter how ugly it gets, you two always come back with the stories. So... I'm Zoe. Now, what do I do?"
Mal: "Probably not talk quite so much."
Wash: "Right. Less talking. She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic."
I love that show.
