Where I come from, the challenges are quite different. There are no drug
dealers or pimps, and few thieves to bother with. There is only the
environment. And surviving in the face of it is the challenge of the Inuit.
A mother gives birth somewhere out on a glacier field....hundreds of miles
from the nearest outpost. And she nows that the odds are stacked against
her son even living to see the spring......disease, or a lack of food....the
elements..... and - even if they should survive, and if he should grow to be
a boy - she knows very well....that all he has to do is lose his footing on the
smooth surface of the glacier and that'll be that. In other words, she should
know that her son cannot live. So.....why should she try?
Well, I know this woman............I helped deliver her son. She was weak
and...er.... undernourished, but the next morning she stood up and she picked
her child up into her arms, and ..... and she set out again into the blinding
snow. And I think.....I think that was the single most courageous act I have
ever seen.

[QUOTE=Alastair]Frasier:
"Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now... I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem. Thank you for your call."
i do so wish i were the type of person who could actually execute this type of dialog....
alastair: i REALLY enjoyed this one!
WIP: yours got my sentimentality all stirred up...
I can't believe that no one hit on "Pulp Fiction" yet.........
the whole script is riddled with excellent quotes.. ***LANGUAGE WARNING***
Butch: Will you hand me a towel, tulip?
Fabienne: Ah, I like that. I like tulip. Tulip is much better than mongoloid.

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f@^k a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.
---------------------------------------
Jules: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Esmeralda: What is your name?
Butch: Butch.
Esmeralda: What does it mean?
Butch: I'm American, honey. Our names don't mean sh!t.

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf@^ker. Pigs sleep and root in sh!t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherf@^kin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pumpkin: Which one is your wallet?
Jules: It's the one that says Bad Motherf@^ker.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the alltime greatest quote from this movie.........
Jules: Well I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherf@^ker, motherf@^ker! Every time my fingers touch brain I'm SUPERFLY T.N.T, I'm the GUNS OF THE NAVARONE. In fact, what the f@^k am I doin' in the back? You're the motherf@^ker should be on brain detail. We're f@^kin' switchin' right now. I'm washin' the windows and you're pickin' up this motherf@^ker's skull.
