Quotes from shows that may be gone, but are not forgotten


Angel Falls

Angel Falls was incredibly short-lived. I only watched it for Peggy Lipton, as I recall.

Don't get your bowels in an uproar.


Babylon 5

Bab5 was the best sci-fi series ever on television. It was extraordinarily well-crafted, with enjoyable characters, incredible actors, and a well-plotted storyline.

Inquisitor:
You would die for him? What of your cause?

Delenn:
I fight for life. One life or a thousand, it is all the same.


Officer:
I suppose the motto now is "trust no one.

Ivanova:
Nope. Trust Ivanova. Trust yourself. Other than that, shoot 'em.


How do you know the chosen ones? No greater love hath a man that he lay down his life for his brother. Not ... for millions. Not for glory, not for fame. For one person. In the dark, where no one will ever know or see. I have been in the service of the Vorlons for centuries, looking for an honest man willing to die for the wrong reasons. At last my job is finished. Yours is just beginning. When the darkness comes, know this. You are the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
(the Inquisitor, to Delenn and Sheridan)


May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.


I cannot create life, but I can breathe on the dying embers.


It may not work.

But I can hope.

Hope is all you have.


Beavis & Butthead

Ok, I watched it. I even liked it after a while! My favorite character was definitely Mr. Buzzcut - he reminded me of a homicidal history teacher I once had.

Butthead:
Go with your anger.

Beavis:
Can I have a hug?

Butthead:
Aaa! Don't touch me, ass-wipe! I'll wound your inner child. Then I'll kick your ass.


You withering bags of atrophy!


I have to warn you that this film contains graphic footage of actual car wrecks. It is nothing that I haven't seen, but it might be too much for some of you delicate types. No one's going to think you are a pantywaist if you can't take it. So if you can't, I suggest you get your pathetic, weak-willed little butt out of here. Now!


Beverly Hills 90210

Yes, I watched the first episode. Yes, I watched Dylan lose his wife. Yes, I admit it! I hang my head in shame!

I'm not dating Lucinda. We're just sleeping together.


Chicago Hope

Chicago Hope was a wonderful show for the first year or two. It lost a lot of steam, and a lot of characters. And, of course, they committed the cardinal sin of killing the character who was the heart of the show.

He reminded me that such fundamental anger could only come from love, and that deep feelings, no matter how they manifest, are still deep feelings.


intern:
That doesn't change the fact that you are the most hated surgeon at Chicago Hope, and the rest of us have to pick up the people you leave behind.

Jeffrey:
Is that what you're doing with those nurses?

intern:
If they're coming to me, don't you have to ask yourself why?

Aaron:
What do you mean?

intern:
I was talking to him.

Aaron:
Talk to me.

intern:
Talk to your wife. Then maybe she wouldn't need me.


Camille to Jeffrey:
I lost him to another man, and that man is you. Much of my disgust you deserve - your behavior is generally repulsive. But my anger . . . I'm jealous. I wish that he loved me as much as he loves you, and I'm jealous.


China Beach

I walked that road. I walked to the beach to forget the dead.


Every time you were numb, safe, someone would reach in and stop you.


Dawson's Creek

*sigh* I admit it. I hang my head in shame. I watch Dawson's Creek. I'm such a loser!

Pacey:
Well, I should probably just start first by saying that you, Josephine Potter, have just wrecked me. In the best possible way, you have absolutely wrecked me. Because you see, I fell in love with you, knowing that there was never any possibility of being with you. Knowing full well that a sizable chunk of your heart would always be wrapped up in our friend Dawson. And that much was actually ok with me. Right up until the point that you chose me. Cause then you just turned everything on its head and I got everything I wanted, and from that day forward, I've been a wreck.

Joey:
Why?

Pacey:
Because now all I can do is wait for the other shoe to drop.


Dave Barry

No, I do not want your monthly rat control service. Why do you have to come back every month anyway? Do you only kill the impotent and menopausal?

Bald people are always so jolly!


Maude

You can't argue with women, Walter. They're more emotional, and therefore unstable. Take the witches at Salem!

Talk about obscure - I think the success of Lonesome Dove was the cause of this lackluster western. (Also, Paradise.) But this one line has remained lodged in my brain for a long, long time.

The hour will come when all will be paid.


Night Court

This is one of the few sitcoms I've ever liked. I started watching it in reruns and just fell in love.

This tv movie was a total waste of airtime, believe me. But this one line resonated.

The only reason I had Amaril so late [in life] was so that I could send a part of myself away from here.

I hated this the first year or two. I was bitter about the cancellation of Twin Peaks and this was just too cute and quirky for me to bear. But Judge Bone drew me in, and the rest of the cast kept me until its cancellation.

Jimmy:
In another couple of years my penis will serve no purpose whatsoever except to connect my bladder with the outside world.


Jimmy:
I think it might be safer to keep God out there, knowing he's there, than be in the same room with him.

I was an accountant; I can balance the books. I never did any naked movies, and I have a good sense of fairness.


Jill to Jimmy:
You punish people with your righteousness.


Maxine to the DA:

Joseph Wambaugh:
I'm a good Jew, a God-loving man.


You'd rather be hated then pitied.

I think you're a lonely person, and that compromises your judgement.

The sympathetic assassin, that's what you are.
