Martin-"Good."

Carl-"May I use your jon, please?"

-Sneakers

Chris-"I wish to hell I was your dad. You wouldn't be going around talking about taking these stupid shop courses if I was. It's like God gave you somethin', man. All those stories you can make up. And he said, "This is what we got for ya, kid, try not to lose it.", but kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too fucked up to do it, then maybe I should."

Lorna-"You're certifiable! What is this? Some sort of smart ass joke? You're taking cooking?"

Michael-"I want to learn how to cook."

Lorna-"Yeah, right. You have some burning desire to learn how to make apple brown betty."

Michael-"What are you doing here if you think so highly of it?"

Lorna-"Well, they wouldn't let me take auto mechanics, and I didn't have time to take the issue to the Supreme Court."

Michael-"So, what are you doing over the summer?"

Lorna-"I have a job pumping gas."

Michael-"Finally got the Supreme Court to hear your case, huh?"

-Running On Empty

Charlie-"Once I had believed in Father and the world had seemed small and old. Now he was gone and I wasn't afraid to love him anymore. And the world seemed limitless."

Charlie-"My father often talked of things being revealed - that was true invention, he said. Revealing something's use, and magnifying it; discovering its imperfections, improving it, and putting it to work for you. God had left the world incomplete, he said, and it was man's job to understand how it worked, to tinker with it, and to finish it. I think that was why he hated missionaries so much - because they taught people to put up with their earthly burdens. For father, there were no burdens that couldn't be fitted with a set of wheels, or rudders, or a system of pulleys.

James-"C'mon baby!"

Miranda-"What happens?"

James-"Well, let's see. . . "

James-"Well you can bet he tells that to all the girls that get off the Greyhound bus."

"Look out music city! Cause I'm here now and I ain't never leavin'!"

Jennifer-"Yeah, right!"

Eugene-"Jennifer, may I be brutally frank?"

Jennifer-"Sure."

Eugene-"You've just touched my soul."

Jennifer-"Yuck!"

Alex-"Eugene, Eugene, do you mind? I'm paying you by the hour."

Eugene-"What is time? I've just met the mother of my children!"

Eugene-"Oh! Ronald, Eunice, this is Jennifer-the old ball and chain."

-Family Ties "My Tutor"

Jimmy-"Al? Al Reardon? My father! My moral, upright, coffee-slurping, status-seeking, putting in overtime, hard day at the office, early rising, early bedding, "make your own way in life" father had been screwing Joyce Fickett!"

-A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon

Talbot-"If you could give. . . me a sign. Some sign so. . .I'd know how to find you. Take me with you Awbonnie. Take me."
