so I decided to just throw out some Farscape goodness

Aeryn Sun: Who are you to order me around?
John Crichton: Order? I was offering a suggestion.
Aeryn Sun: Well, who are you to offer suggestions?

John Crichton: Freeze! Don’t move! Or I’ll fill you full of…little yellow bolts of light!

John Crichton: I know you can see me. Bad guys always see me. My plans suck. People die. It’s always a mess.

John Crichton: I must be smarter than I look.
Aeryn Sun: That would be easy.

John Crichton: I hate it when villains quote Shakespeare.

Aeryn Sun: No offense, human, but what can I possibly need from you?
John Crichton: I dunno… manners, personality… Stock tips.

John Crichton: Aeryn, if Scorpius gets me…
Aeryn Sun: I know, shoot you.
John Crichton: No. No, no. Shoot him.

Man, I gotta gets me some Farscape! Those lines are fantastic.

Don’t think you’ll be dissapointed with it, and if you are you can yell at me. :slight_smile:

just be careful the dvd’s are very expensive, so make sure your good and addicted before dropping the cash me i’m still waiting for price drop, maybe when the farscape webisodes come out they’ll do somthing special?

if not well i’ll start collecting them slowly here’s one more quote of the more serious side of the show (i pulled most of them off imdb if you want to have a look )

John Crichton Two: Shot through a wormhole
John Crichton One: In some distant part of the universe

Also, I can kill you with my brain… - River Tam

“Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here! This is the war room!”

That one pops up a lot. I do wish I could remember Peter Sellers’ two soliloquies on that film (the one where he’s on the phone with the Russian Premiere, who is obviously drunk and with at least one woman based on what Sellers says, and the final Dr. Strangelove one where he keeps breaking into the Nazi salute and calling the president, “mein fuhrer”). Those are pretty priceless!

It may be time for me to do a Dr. Strangelove rewatch…

Here’s one which, again, may be bordering on sci-fi (are comic book movies sci-fi?), but given my excitement over the Dark Knight trailer earlier this week, I was thinking of what is, by far, my favorite line in Batman Begins:

Flask: “I swear to God!”
Batman: “SWEAR TO ME!!!”

#67

“Smooth as an android’s bottom, ey, Data?”

#68

“Risk is part of the game [if] you wanna sit in that chair.” - James T. Kirk, Star Trek Generations

#69

“I have a very bad feeling about this…”

(Every episode of Star Wars)

:slight_smile:

#70

“It’s not my fault!”

#71

MAL: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know… shoot 'em.
ZOE: Shoot 'em?
MAL: Politely.

#72

LOL!

That’s it, I need to go out and get this show.

#73

We could write a book on exchanges between Saffron and Mal, but some choice ones.

S: He’s my husband.
M: Well who in the damn galaxy ain’t?

M: Hate to interrupt your crazy time, Yo-Saff-Brig.

Also, Q.

Q: Hello Worf, eat any good books lately?

Q: I’m completely human, what must I do to convince you people.
Worf: Die.

Buffy?

B: Dawn’s in trouble? Must be Tuesday.

“As he started to turn he saw a skinny, stretched-out creature, longer than he was tall, climbing toward him with at least half a dozen legs, while others held what looked like a kind of gun. The damn thing was wearing sunglasses,…”

-from Jem, by Frederik Pohl

#75

MAL: Sure, it’s humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (Stabs Atherton in the side.) Guess I’m just a good man. (Stabs him again.) Well, I’m all right.
-“Shindig”, Firefly

#76

Well… here I am…

#77

Col Mitchell to Te’lk while on the search for Merlin’s wepon. After Te’lk fire’s off his P90 in a closed room:

wo wo wo man - bullets BOUNCE !:slight_smile:

#78

MAL: She has a name!
JAYNE: So does this. I call her Vera!

#79

I’d have a lot more to contribute to this thread if Magnus hadn’t stolen all the Garak material. (grrr…You rock, Magnus, greater than I.)

But how 'bout: “…Fly casual.”

#80

Many have already been said, but here’s more:

“What the hell is a jigowatt?” - Back to the Future

“Who smells like freakin’ porpose horc?” Mom, Futurama, “Three Hundred Big Boys”

Garak: I’ll go along on your fool’s errand, but I want one thing to be
perfectly clear. I have no intention of sacrificing my life to save yours. If
it looks like we’re in danger of being captured, if there’s any sign of
trouble at all, you’re on your own.
Sisko: Mr. Garak, I believe that’s the first completely honest thing you’ve
ever said to me.
Garak: How perceptive of you, commander. – DS9, “Second Skin”

The Garak quotes are all-time faves, especially “best not to dwell on such minutiae” Lol! and “It is the safest way.”

Love this one - thanks Fenatic!

Pike, just re-watched that episode tonight.
