The Muppets

Walter: But Kermit, you have to try! The Muppets are amazing! You give people the greatest gift that can ever be given!

Kermit the Frog: Ice cream?

Walter: No, no, after that…

Kermit the Frog: Laughter?

Walter: Yes! The third greatest gift ever!

The Casual Vacancy – J.K. Rowling

There was nothing, as far as Howard could see, to stop the Fielders growing fresh vegetables; nothing to stop them cleaning them disciplining their sinister, hooded, spray-painting offspring; nothing to stop them pulling themselves together as a community and tackling the dirt and the shabbiness; nothing to stop them cleaning themselves up and taking jobs; nothing at all.  So Howard was forced to draw the conclusion that they were choosing, of their own free will, to live the way they lived, and that the estate’s air of slightly threatening degradation was nothing more than a physical manifestation of ignorance and indolence.

[Love Pirate’s note: Howard is the head of the town council and main “villain” of the book.]

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 2: Episode 14 – “Whispers”

Miles O’Brien: Are you nearly finished? I believe you poked into every orifice in my body… and created a few new ones.

Julian Bashir: Any dizziness? Oversleeping? Lack of energy? Euphoria?

O’Brien: Yes! All of them, especially euphoria! Lots of euphoria!

Bashir: Seriously.

O’Brien: Look, if you are determined to keep me here until you find something wrong with me, I’ll see if I can’t grow you a hangnail!

Bashir: Eye problems? Hearing? Headaches

O’Brien: Headache! There you go. In fact, I’m getting a very bad one right now!

Bashir: Short temper…flies off the handle under the slightest provocation. Perfectly normal.

O’Brien: I’m glad you’re enjoying this.

Bashir: Sorry, I know how you feel about doctors.

O’Brien: It’s not doctors I have a problem with

[Together] It’s you Julian.

Bashir: Well, your sense of humor seems normal enough.

O’Brien: I don’t have a sense of humor.

Bashir: Cough.

[O’Brien coughs]

Bashir: How’s the sex life?

O’Brien: I don’t have a sense of humor.

Bashir: Cough!

[O’Brien coughs]

Bashir: Everything all right in that department

O’Brien: That department is none of Starfleet’s business, or yours.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Jack Sparrow: It is pronounced ‘egregious’!

Quote of the Day

Welcome to Night Vale, Episode 19A – “The Sandstorm”

Cecil: Now you listen here, Steve Carlsberg.  You’re not saying anything new, Steve.  Of course the sandstorm was created by the government.  The City Council announced that this morning.  The government makes no secret that they can control the weather and earthquakes, and monitor thoughts and activities.  That’s the stuff a big government is supposed to do!  Obviously, you have never read the Constitution.  Okay, sure, government can be very inefficient, and sometimes bloated and corrupt, but the answer is not to complain about everything that they do.  Without government, we would never have schools or roads or municipal utilities or helpful pandemics or black vans that roam our neighborhoods at night keeping us safe. So please, Steve Carlsberg, I’ve had enough of your government-bashing.

The Casual Vacancy – J.K. Rowling

“Stone dead,” said Howard, as though there were degrees of deadness and the kind that Barry Fairbrother had contracted was particularly sordid.

The Muppets

Rowlf: How come you didn’t use me in the montage? I thought my story was pretty interesting.

[cut to Rowlf snoring in a hammock on his porch surrounded by other Muppets]

Kermit the Frog: Rowlf?

Rowlf: Huh?

Kermit the Frog: You wanna get back together?

Rowlf: Okay.

[cut back to the car]

Rowlf: Classic.

The Muppets

Walter: I think that’s just an Internet rumor, like, “There’s a country called Turkey!”

Gary: Walter, how many times do we have to go through this? Turkey is a real place!
