But they were out of tomato paste, and by the time they got more in, my coupon had expired. And now I have venereal disease."
--Louise Lasser, "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"

Dan: Yeah?

Casey: Collins is expected to be sidelined a week to 10 days with a bulging di-Uh Oh.

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."
--Rod Serling, "The Twilight Zone"
"My first instinct was to fire you as well. But on reflection, I realized that was way too easy. No, Alison, I'm going to do to you the way you did me. And when I'm done, all that you'll be left with is that proverbial wish... that you'd never been born!"

"To me, our relationship makes perfect sense. You want me to propose to you, I propose to you. You say no, I say fine, I never wanna see you again. You drive me nuts telling me you want me to propose again, I do, you turn me down. Next thing I know I'm in a court of law where I've got to propose to you or go to jail. It's the classic American love story."
--Ted Danson, "Cheers"

"When I thought I was going to die, even after everything that's happened, I realized I didn't want to let go. I was willing to do it all over again, and this time I could appreciate the moments. I mean, I can't go back. But I can appreciate what I have right now. And I can define myself by what I am, instead of what I'm not."
"And what are you?"
"Alive. Everything else is negotiable."
Both from Babylon 5, because I'm so freaking geeky.
