"Who the hell would attack the Steel Horse anyway? What was the thinking behind that? “Here is a bar full of psychotic killers who grow giant claws and people who pilot the undead for a living. I think I’ll go wreck the place."

"Hello. We're teachers on sabbatical and we've just won the lottery."

"Can you get to yes?"
"... Where?"
"I mean, are you persuasive, can you get people to say yes?"
"I'm a girl. That's sort of what we do."

"Doable. She looks doable, Dad. Oh it's all right, I'm used to it. Burden of kids born to teenaged mothers. I should start a group called Adult Children of Moms You'd Like to Fuck."

"That horse looks completely fake."
"On purpose, it's a comment!"
"On what?"
"On... the testosterone fueled fantasy genre! Totally subverting... the hero archetype. Valhalla's... post-feminist."

Ooo! New canon gave me a couple of shinies!

Ghost Rider: Gaze into the face of vengeance, sinner.
Jono: Oy, mate. Gaze into the face of "$%&# you."

Ooor:

Jono: I'm sorry, love. I guess I didn't understand the question. Or why you think I'd have an answer.
Jubilee: I don't know, Jono. You came from way over in Europe, right? You've seen the world.
Jono: Oh yeah. Definitely. Some of its more interesting gutters, anyway.

Or the best ever omg:

"The longer we hold out, the more mental and impossible it looks. Maybe someone, someday, will hear a story about how we fought, and think "Okay then," and roll their own sleeves up. Is that enough?"

Oh, Jono. <3

OH SURE, POST THIS AS I'M ABOUT TO NAP. Ahem.

"Shima Yisrael Adonai Echad..."
"What's that you're doing?"
"It's a prayer. It's Jewish."
"Yeah... I'm not great with religious rituals..."
"Awww.... Tough."
"Is he even Jewish?"
"It doesn't matter. His body's let him down, medicine's let him down, it's a gesture of sympathy.
"I'm trying to get into the zone here."
"Yeah, well, I refer you to my earlier statement of "tough". Shema Yisrael... ... I can't remember the rest."
"Five letters. Something 'A', something, something, something. The clue is just the letters H I J K L M N O."
"Mitchell! ... The answer's water. ...Yes, it's the letters H to O... H2O, it's the molecular formula for water."
"Get in!"
"Mitchell-- ... Okay, give me another one..."
"S-- Is that it? Is he dead now?"

"Actually, I found them by the side of the road, where they died a natural, peaceful death."

"...I think we should dig the tunnel."

"Then why are you sitting on the ground, weeping over a sword?"

"You were right, this party's lots of fun."

"The Creator ran off with a boy?"

"Wait, wait a second! I'm not an Old One. I'm a hundred and seventeen."
"You are the most wanted man in the country. Hardly the time to quibble about your age."

"I mean the craving will come back though. So how do I fight it?"
"You surround yourself with good people. That's what you do. Find someone better than you. 'Cause then when you fail, you have to deal with their disappointment. And that's what keeps you true."

"Mitchell. Should we get pissed?"
"You. Are a genius, George."

"Hobbes! She stumbled into the Perimeter of Wisdom! Run!"

"...Wait. Why does Mrs Butterworth need to be black? And Aunt Jemima too. That's some fucked up racist pancake shit."

"God, why isn't Lynda calling me back? Do you think she's jealous?"
"Of what, your online stalker mob?"
"No, maybe... Maybe she thinks that I'm trying to steal her thunder, or maybe she thinks that I'm just like some loser idiot kid oh my God, oh my God, she hates me!"

"You should go. She's never actually had an art show as far as I can remember."
"Except for a little art show we've all been forced to witness called her life. No stars, says Kate Gregson of the Overland Park Parent Review."

"A muscle cramp? In your ... pants?"

"I guarantee you, I will be Carly's second husband."
"What happened to my first husband?"
"Nothing you can prove."

"When I was at boys camp, I filled this kid's hat with raisins. And I'll tell you what, he wasn't expecting that in his hat!"

“There’s only one thing young ladies should be inserting in themselves — and that’s knowledge.”

"Art crawl!" o/

School Counselor: Hold on for a minute. I want to take a moment and focus on the girl who won't say "penis". This is a judgement-free zone, so feel free to express yourself.
Annie: No. I don't want to express myself. I don't want to sit in a room and say... the P-word. I like being repressed. I am totally comfortable being uncomfortable with my sexuality. And maybe if everyone were more like me, we wouldn't have to have an STD fair!
Britta: Woo!
Shirley: You go girl!
Annie" And now that I've gotten a good look at one, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Giant thumb in a turtle neck! Woopdie-doo!

Luke: "You shouldn't have worried about me. You should have gone after her."
Jaina: "I know this Jedi, he pretends to be all wise and mysterious but he's really kind of a farmboy inside, he used to tell me, 'Trust in the Force.' Zekk and I trusted what the Force had to tell us- and we protected you. So live with it."

Not gonna lie, this was exactly the one I was hoping you'd go for. :D

I almost forgot the most random one!

“Man, how can David Schwimmer hold his breath this long? Wait… he’s not moving.”

"The rabbis paled. I'd managed to terrify holy men. Maybe I could beat up a nun for an encore."

I need these books in my life. Like yesterday.

I have so many Annie quotes, y'all. I might be doing this all day.

"You listen up, Pierce! I'm gonna tell you what my mother told me when I wanted to quit cheerleading. 'You're not very pretty, you have no boobs, and you can't do a basket toss to save your life. But you made a commitment.' So pick up your pompoms, Pierce, stuff your bra, and get ready for the team bus to forget you at a Taco Bell, because life is tough. But we soldier on, and that's just the way it goes!"

That's me. I can manipulate the press. I can paint public opinion, nudge and pull and poke and inject things into it, but when it comes to war -- and it will come to war -- I'm going to look about as clever as the French when the blitzkrieg rolled through.

For the first time he found himself envying the other students who were studying there. All they had to worry about was the next test, or keeping their scholarship, or their dating life.

I could have a life like theirs.

Right. He'd have to kill himself if he ever came to care what some teacher thought of an essay he wrote, or what some girl thought about the clothes he wore, or whether one soccer team could beat another.

"Isn't it strange to realize that when they write history books in the future, your brother's name will always be mentioned?" said Mother.

"Not strange," said Peter. "That's just one of the perks you get when you save the world."

Behind his jocularity, though, he made a much grimmer promise to his mother. Before you die, Mother, you'll see that while Ender's name shows up in a chapter or two, it will be impossible to discuss this century or the next without mentioning my name on almost every page.

"The curse of having children who are smarter than you," said Father, "is that they think their superior rational process is enough to compensate for their lack of experience."

If I were a little brat like Bean, that comment would have been the last straw. I would have walked away and not come home for a week, if ever. But I'm not a child and I can control my personal resentments and do what's expedient. I'm not going to throw off my camouflage out of pique.

At the same time, I can't be faulted, can I, for wondering if there's any chance that my father might have a stroke and go permanently mute.

---

Peter: "Thank you, I wasn't taking that into account."

Bean: "I know. It's one of the reasons I think you're headed for failure. You think you know more than you actually know."

Peter: "But I listen. And I learn. Do you?"

Carlotta: "I do believe that the two most arrogant boys in the world have finally met, and they don't much like what they see."

Peter: "Actually, I do like what I see."

Bean: "I wish I could say the same."

Carlotta: "Let's keep walking."

"You possess one of the greatest mutant powers on the planet, Shan. The ability to possess people's minds is not one to be taken lightly. ... I would expect someone with the power to control the minds of others to have better control over her own emotions. Over her own life."

"Being an X-Men means a lot to me. But it doesn't always agree with me."

"They will always hate us. We will never live in a world of peace. Which is why control and non-violence are essential. We must prove ourselves a peaceful people. We must give the ordinary humans respect, compliance, and understanding. And we must never mistake that for trust."

"You thought you could write the future, didn't you? You thought you had the magic formula. The secret recipe. But the future doesn't have a formula. It's all ad lib. All desperate improvisation in front of a dying audience in a room where the ceiling is about to fall in."

"Why can't you just give up your place on the Olympic suffering team and relax with some wine and adultery?"

"You stick with Auntie Emma, Hisako. We'll have this planet eating out of your hand in no time at all."

"...but for now, he is her Dante, she his Beatrice. Think Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde...Tom and bloody Jerry. She'll grow out of it and her diary will be filled with regrets. That's the tragedy behind cupid's twanging, girls."

"I couldn't sleep after the traumas of the day. Tell me more about the world of chastity, Scott..."

"On second thought. I've just had an epiphany like St. Paul on the Road to Damascus. Stop the car."

"The games are immaterial. What matters are the stakes."

John Paul Wiggin: “I don’t think we can get him into the shower without actually touching his sacred person."

Theresa Wiggin: “I think you’re right."

John Paul Wiggin: “And if we touch him, there’s a real possibility that we will be struck dead on the spot.”

Theresa Wiggin: “Ice bucket."

John Paul Wiggin: “No ice.”

Theresa Wiggin: “But it holds water.”

Peter Wiggin: “Just go away, I’m getting up in a couple of minutes.”

Theresa Wiggin: “No. You’re getting up now. Your father is filling the ice bucket. You can hear the water running.”

Peter Wiggin: “OK, OK, leave the room so I can take my clothes off and get in the shower. Or is this just a subterfuge so you can see me naked again? You’ve never let me forget how you used to change my diapers, so apparently that was a very important stage in your life.”

He was answered by having water dashed in his face.

John Paul Wiggin: “Sorry I didn’t have time to fill it. But when you started making crude sexual innuendos to my wife, I had to use whatever amount of water was at hand to shut you up before you said enough that I would have to beat your bratty little face in.”

Peter Wiggin: “Is this what you came in to see?”

John Paul Wiggin: “Absolutely. You were wrong, Theresa: he does have balls.”

Theresa Wiggin: “Not enough of them, apparently.”

Peter stalked between them and slammed the bathroom door behind him.

Peter: “All right. I’m in.”

Bean: “What?”

Peter: “You’ve convinced me. I’m in.”

Bean: “You’re in what?”

Peter: “I’m going in the gate with you.”

Bean: “No you’re not.”

Peter: “I’m Hegemon. I’m not standing outside while you go in and save my people.”

Bean: “He’ll be very happy to kill you along with me.”

Peter: “You first.”

Bean: “No, you first.”

Peter: “Whatever. You’re not getting through that gate unless I’m one of your five.”

Bean: “Look, Peter. The reason we’re in this predicament is that you think you’re smarter than everybody else, so no matter what advice you get, you go off half-cocked and do something astonishingly dumb.”

[...]

Peter: “Well, I love arguing philosophy with you, but you need your sleep and I need mine. See you at the east gate in the morning.”

Bean: "..."

"Cute. I think I would prefer to be stabbed in the eye rather than be called cute."

*insert entire canon here*

"It’s a very specific thing to hate."

"Clothar? The war-torn galaxy that sent us Varsity Fanclub? Five intergalactic dictators masquerading as a boyband, and then threatened to destroy the Earth and everyone on it."

"You're right, what am I doing? I can't do this?"
"Really?"
"Pysch!"

"Before he vanished under as of yet unexplained circumstances, my father was the best pilot on the face of the Earth."

*jazzhands* *footstomp*

OMG I love that you managed to quote "!!!!"

Which just goes to prove that there isn't a line from this canon that isn't INFINITELY quotable.

"For the moment, Styrka, hold your tongue. I know all the arguments of your Calvinism, but even John Calvin would call your doctrine stupid."

"How do you know what Calvin would--"

"Because he's dead, and so I'm entitled to speak for him!"

---

"I know you came here with your sister, Valentine. She's a much more popular teacher than you are-- she answers questions with answers; you just answer with more questions."

"That's because she knows some answers."

---

"Many a moral imbecile has good table manners, Jane."

---

"I don't care. I have several names now. Speaker for the Dead-- that holds some honor."

---

[Your people are fools. We know the truth. We know who killed us, and it wasn't you.]

It was me.

[You were a tool.]

It was me.

[We forgive you.]

When you walk on the face of a world again, then forgiveness comes.

"Ender. Sitting there in paranoid fantasy."

"You can't read minds."

"You always get morose and speculate about the destruction of the universe whenever you come out of starflight. It's your peculiar manifestation of motion sickness."

---

"Andrew Wiggin, anthropologist?"

"The proper study of mankind is man."

"Go study some men, then, Ender."

---

"Grego has given me a little gift. It's the only thing he has to give me, and he made it himself, so it means all the more. I like him so much that I think I'll never let him go."

---

"I can say anything. His name was Ender, and he destroyed everything he touched." Like me, she did not say.

"Oh? And what do you know of him? How do you know there wasn't something that he touched kindly? Someone who loved him, who was blessed by his love? Destroyed everything he touched-- that's a lie that can't truthfully be said of any human being who ever lived."

"Is that your doctrine, Speaker? Then you don't know much."

---

"Maybe I loved the young girl, but this woman is nasty and selfish. Look what she let happen to her children."

"This is the Speaker for the Dead? Judging someone by appearances?"

"Maybe I've fallen in love with Grego."

"You've always been a sucker for people who pee on you."

"And Quara. All of them-- even Miro, I like the boy."

"And they love you, Ender."

"People always think they love me, until I speak. Novinha's more perceptive than most-- she already hates me before I tell the truth."

"You're as blind about yourself as anyone else, Speaker. Promise me that when you die, you'll let me Speak your death. Have I got things to say."

"Keep them to yourself. You're even worse at this business than I am."

"Try 'Ender.'"

"Ender? The Xenocide?"

"Just try it."

"Why would you have a password like that? It's like having a dirty word for your password, only the system won't accept any dirty words."

"I have an ugly sense of humor. And my slave program, as you call it, has an even worse one."

---

"You're slick, Senhor Andrew, Speaker for the Dead, you're very clever. You remind him of the Hive Queen, and speak scripture to me out of the side of your mouth."

"I speak to everyone in the language they understand. That isn't being slick. It's being clear."

---

"The way you define it, the piggies are also human. That's why you're a renegade."

"I thought you said we treated the piggies like animals!"

"When you don't hold them accountable, when you don't ask them direct questions, when you try to deceive them, then you treat them like animals."

"In other words, when we do follow the committee rules."

"Yes, yes, that's right, we are renegades."

"And you? Why are you a renegade?"

"Oh, the human race kicked me out a long time ago. That's how I got to be a Speaker for the Dead."

---

"The Speaker is a Catholic by baptism, if not by belief. I blessed him, and it seems to have made him docile."

"I've always been respectful of authority."

"You were the one who threatened us with an Inquisitor."

"And you're the one who told the people I was Satan and they shouldn't talk to me."
