Ah yes, Shove-Lynn! That's a stunning name! Won't you come in and have a sip of tea with us then, Monsieur Shovelynn? Bit sticky out here, isn't it?

We're having great dramas out there! This is a matinee, honey! There's old age pensioners out there! 'The curtain will rise in three minutes'- we all start for the Gents. 'The curtain will rise in one minute'- we all come running out again. We don't know which way we're going! (from Noises Off! both the movie and the play)

There's quite a crowd at the front, of the back, of the orchestra. (from Noises Off! both the movie and the play)

Sweet? Where do you get off? Where do you get sweet? I am dark and mysterious, and I am PISSED OFF! I could be very dangerous to all of you! And you should know that about me... I am THE ENEMY! (from Almost Famous)

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you're uncool (from Almost Famous)

That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally sized men. Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing... (From the Boondock Saints)

I will shoot myself in the head if you can tell me that cat's name! (From the Boondock Saints)

My favorite lines are from the Lion in Winter - great play, great movie, so many great lines:

Eleanor: I made Louis take me on Crusade. I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn... but the troops were dazzled.

_________


Geoffrey: If you're a prince, there's hope for every ape in Africa.

_________

Henry: I'm villifying you for God's sake - pay attention!

________________

Henry: The day those stout hearts band together is the day that pigs get wings.
Eleanor: There'll be pork in the treetops come morning.

_________________


Eleanor: I'd hang you from the nipples, but you'd shock the children.

_________________

Geoffrey : I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it.
We're a knowledgeable family.

_______________________

Henry: HA! What shall we hang... the holly, or each other?

________________________
Eleanor: What would you have me do? Give out? Give up? Give in?
Henry: Give me a little peace.
Eleanor : A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace? Now there's a thought.

Regarding food service at the funeral of her recently deceased mother in law on Gilmore Girls:
Emily: "Why not just dump some cubed cheese in the coffin with her, stuff some toothpicks in her mouth and let the guests go to town!"
or Steel Magnolias: "They're my family and I luv 'em, but dont they all just look like they're carved outta cream cheese?"
or "oh he's a gentleman all-right. I bet he even takes the dishes outta the sink before he pees in it"
