If you have a quote you’d like me to use in a future Daily Dose, please leave it here with the character names and the name of the movie/TV show/book/what have you.
If you leave a name and don’t comment anonymously I will be thanking you in that day’s post.
I can’t guarantee I’ll use them all, but I can sure as hell try :)
Comments will be deleted once I’ve used the quotes so it’s less confusing for me!
Hey Rachel!
So excited about the return of Daily Dose, consider this a virtual hug!
I have one little suggestion – any chance you could have a place for replies under each Daily Dose? One of my favorite things about the recaps was seeing what all of your other fans had to say! Just a thought.
Thanks for everything – summer will be much cooler with Ack Attack!
You can always reply to each Daily Dose the same way you leave comments on the recaps – just click the title and it will bring you to the post’s page – the reply box is at the bottom :)
I’m not sure of any of these would be of use but I’m a Nero Wolfe fan. From Nero Wolfe A&E TV Series
(About the guest in Wolfe’s house)
Archie: Oh, she seems sweet, and unspoiled, and has fine legs, and if we like her and get used to her, one of us might want to marry her.
(As Archie walks in)
Wolfe: Judging by your lugubrious gate and sour expression, I assume that your endeavors have achieved nothing.
Miss Heart: Who sent you here?
Wolfe: Autokinesis!
Wolfe: No, I’m not going fishing tomorrow.
Archie: Do you see any reason why I shouldn’t?
Wolfe: None that I can think of except common sense.

Adrian Veidt and Dan Dreiberg, Watchmen
“It’s not just about raw power, it’s also about how far you’re willing to debase yourself before feeling bad. And me? I ripped off my own living flesh so that I wouldn’t have to admit weakness. You’re strictly little league compared to that. That right there? That’s the difference between true Evil with a capital “E” and your whiny, “evil, but for a good cause,” crap. One gets to be the butch, and one gets to be the bitch–Bitch.”
Lord Xykon, Order of the Stick

so anything Arrested development would be awesome…so many golden quotes
ex:
Lucille: How do you expect me to get anyone to go into that musty old clap-trap?
Michael: *long pause* OHHH, the CABIN…..
” – Listen, Sweetcheeks, I am seeing someone who-
– Let me guess, let me guess – dark haired, domineering, doesn’t take any of your crap? You see, a lesser person would mock your inability to move on. I’m going to consider it an homage.
– There is something so…soft about you”
(Dr. Cox and Jordan, Scrubs)
Oh, man, I am loving these. Here’s a grabbag:
Gilmore Girls:
Michel: Well, not everyone is cut out to be their own boss. Maybe you are more of a worker bee, a follower, a ticket ripper, or the man at the concert with the orange glow stick directing you where to park.
Lorelai: You know how on All in the Family when Edith would be yapping about something and Archie would pretend to make a noose and hang himself or shoot himself in the head?
Rory: Yeah?
Lorelai: I don’t know. Something about this moment just made me think of that.
Michel: To me you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown Cartoon.
Doctor Who:
The Doctor: Who am I to argue with history?
Rose Tyler: Usually the first in line.
The Doctor: That is enigmatic. That – that is – that is textbook enigmatic.
The Doctor: You’re a clever man. I’d call you a genius. Except that I’m in the room.
The Doctor: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.
Supernatural:
Dean Winchester: Hey Sam, who do you think is the hotter psychic? Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Love Hewitt, or you?
The Office:
Andy: Five of us transferred from Stamford. There’s two of us left. Me, and Karen. It’s like we’re touring Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and dropping off one by one. Well, guess what. I’m not falling in a chocolate river.
from Pulp Fiction
Vincent: I got a threshold, Jules. I got a threshold for the abuse that I will take. Now, right now, I’m a fuckin’ race car, right, and you got me the red. And I’m just sayin’, I’m just sayin’ that it’s fuckin’ dangerous to have a race car in the fuckin’ red. That’s all. I could blow.
Jules: Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?
Vincent: Yeah, I’m ready to blow.
From The Breakfast Club
Richard Vernon: That’s the last time, Bender. That the last time you ever make me look bad in front of those kids, you hear me? I make $31,000 a year and I have a home and I’m not about to throw it all away on some punk like you. But someday when you’re outta here and you’ve forgotten all about this place and they’ve forgotten all about you, and you’re wrapped up in your own pathetic life, I’m gonna be there. That’s right. And I’m gonna kick the living shit out of you. I’m gonna knock your dick in the dirt.
Bender: You threatening me?
The Princess Bride:
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I’ll ask him.
Inigo Montoya: He’s dead. He can’t talk.
Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What’s that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
Ferris Bueler’s Day Off:
Student: Save Ferris?
Jeannie: Excuse me?
Student: Well, a group of us are collecting money to buy Ferris Bueller a new kidney. They run about 50 g’s, so if you wouldn’t mind helping out…
Jeannie: Go piss up a flagpole.
Student: I’m sorry?
Jeannie: You should be.
“He’ll keep calling me. He’ll keep calling me until I come over. He’ll make me feel guilty. This is uh… This is ridiculous, ok I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go. What – I’LL GO. Shit.” –Cameron
“Pardon my French, but you’re an asshole!” –Cameron
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog:
“Dude. You’re NOT my nemesis.” -Dr. Horrible
“The world is a mess, and I just need to rule it.” -Dr. Horrible
“Give my regards to St. Peter. Or whoever has his job… but in hell.” -Captain Hammer
Penny: He’s a really good looking guy and I thought he was kind of cheesy at first.
Dr. Horrible: [under his breath] Trust your instincts.
Penny: But, he turned out to be totally sweet. Sometimes people are layered like that. There’s something totally different underneath than what’s on the surface.
Dr. Horrible: And sometimes there’s a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.
“He wears his clothes well. I could never get into his pants.”
“I’ll bet *I* could.”
Zorro, the Gay Blade
Ideally this would be paired with some caps in “Flashes Before Your Eyes” when Desmond is covered in red paint and Penny approaches him in their flat.
“You’ve got red on you”
-Numerous characters in Shaun of the Dead.
Richard: “You can’t claim us — we live here! Five hundred million of us!”
Locke: “Do you have a flag?”
Richard: “We don’t need a bloody flag, it’s our country, you bastard!”
Locke: “No flag, no country. You can’t have one. That’s the rules that … I’ve just made up!”
From Eddie Izzard’s ‘Dress to Kill’.
Also from Eddie Izzzard’s ‘Dress to Kill’:
“The NRA says ‘guns don’t kill people, people do.’ But I think that the gun helps. You know? I think it helps. I think that if you just walked around going ‘Bang!’you wouldn’t kill too many people, would you?”
From ‘Dollhouse’:
Echo: Something fell on me.
Topher: I bet it was something great!
And from ‘Gilmore Girls’:
Lorelai: I ate the fuzzy Certs.
Rory: Gross!
Lorelai: They tasted like keys!
Rory: Jerk, ass, arrogant, inconsiderate, mindless frat-boy, low-life, buttface miscreant!
Logan: Buttface miscreant?
There are a bazillion great Jears caps out there but whichever sequence of Jack and someone else you can find to fit with “You’re a doctor, deal with it” from Hot Fuzz would be amazing.
Christmas Vacation
“I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, fore-fleshing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where’s the Tylenol?”
“98% of us will die at some point in our lives”
Ricky Bobby, Talladega Nights
“Do you like girls? It’s not polite to assume.”
Vivian, Pushing Daisies
“I guess dying is as good an excuse as any to start living.”
-Chuck, Pushing Daisies
I want your brilliance to guide us… but I think something from “Office Space” would be a propos. “My stapler – have you seen my red stapler? It’s a Swingline”
_or_
“Sounds narcoleptic.”
“I suffer from taxing, uncontrolable spouts of deep sleep?”
“What’s the other one?”
“Necrophilia.”
“Words that sound alike get mixed up in my head.”
“Me, too! I used to think masturbation meant chewing your food.”
….
“I don’t think that anymore.”
Ned, Emerson, and Olive, Pushing Daisies
Three from Terry Pratchett’s ‘Thief of Time’! :D
“I will teach you to deal with time as you would deal with a coat, to be worn when necessary and discarded when not.”
“Will I have to wash it?”
“That was either a very complex piece of thinking on your part, Clodpool, or you were just trying to overextend a metaphor in a rather stupid way. Which do you think it was?”
**
I was going to suggest this for Eloise, but then I realized that it goes pretty much for any parent, ever, on Lost:
“Sometimes I really think people ought to have to pass a proper exam before they’re allowed to be parents. Not just the practical, I mean.”
**
And someone should’ve given Boone this little piece of advice before letting him traipse off into the jungle with Locke:
“Rule One: Never act incautiously around small, wrinkly, bald, smiling men.”
“You can’t just touch someone and then walk out of their life.”
“Yes I can, that’s how I roll.”
Chuck and Ned, Pushing Daisies
Another Pratchett quote, this time from ‘The Truth’. Because flower-sniffing Sawyer chillaxing in the ’70’s has a lot in common with Otto.
“Anyway, you’re a vampire. What advice could a vampire give me about women?”
“Oh, my vord, vake up and smell zer garlic! Oh, zer stories I could tell you.” Otto paused. “But I von’t because I don’t do zat sort of thing any more, now that I have seen the daylight.” He nudged William, who was red with embarrassment. “Let us just say, zey don’t alvays scream.”
“That’s a bit tasteless, isn’t it?”
“Oh, that vas in zer bad old days,” said Otto hurriedly. “Now I like nothing better than a nice mug of cocoa and a good sing-song around zer harmonium, I assure you. Oh yes. My vord.”
“I’d kiss you if it wouldn’t kill me.”
-Charlotte “Chuck” Charles, Pushing Daisies
“I hated him. Hated, hated, hated, hated him. I studied him hard to find out why I hated him so much. And that blossomed into a beautiful friendship, as these things often do.”
-Dwight, The Office
“I’ll miss him, too. He was the only one of you who never struck me!”
-Dr. Zoidberg, Futurama: Bender’s Big Score
Don’t want to sound like a desperate loser, but when do you think you’ll get all these up? First day commenting by the way and I think you’re awesome!
Heathers is a virtual treasure trove of quotes, but here are a few that would be especially awesome:
Veronica Sawyer: All we want is to be treated like human beings, not to be experimented on like guinea pigs or patronized like bunny rabbits.
Veronica’s Dad: I don’t patronize bunny rabbits.
(^PERFECT FOR DHARMA BUNNY RABBITS, METHINKS)
Veronica Sawyer: I just killed my best friend.
J.D.: And your worst enemy.
Veronica Sawyer: Same difference.
(^Ben killing Jacob, perhaps? Or any number of other murderous scenes)
Heather Chandler: Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Theresa?
(^This could work for Eloise, Shannon, Kate, or other people who exude the bitchiness, lol)
J.D.: I like it. It’s got that what-a-cruel-world-let’s-toss-ourselves-in-the-abyss type ambiance.
(^No real suggestions about where to use this, but it seems applicable somehow)
“Why do I have the terrible feeling you’ve already made plans, and I’m just getting mangled into them?”
Matt Cruse, Skybreaker
“Why do you lie, liar.”
-Michael from The Office
Some more Dr. Horrible quotes that I think will fit in nicely, esp. in regards to your “favorite” character:
“It’s curtains for you, Dr. Horrible. Lacy, gently wafting curtains.” – Captain Hammer
“Captain Hammer: You’ve got a little crush, don’t you, Doc. Well, that’s gonna make this hard to hear. See, later, I’m gonna take little Penny back to my place. Show her the command center, Hammercycle, maybe even the Hamjet. You think she likes me now? I’m gonna give Penny the night of her life, just because you want her. And I get what you want. See, Penny’s giving it up, she’s giving it up hard. Cause she’s with Captain Hammer. And these…
[Hammer holds up his fists]
Captain Hammer: …are not the hammer.
[Hammer walks out of the shot momentarily then walks back in]
Captain Hammer: The hammer is my penis.”
(oooh, I just about DIED when I saw that part. OMG LOOOOOLZ)
Dark Knight:
“Gambol: You think you can steal from us and just walk away?
The Joker: Yeah.” (There’s gotta be a Ben moment somewhere that would work with this one…)
I’m going to keep thinking on this… I’d like to come up with quotes that I think fit LOST characters…
omg Rach I was just watching Better off Ted again to make icons of it and a few quotes made me think of your suggestion box…
Veronica: I’m here to talk about you, not to you.
(maybe for Ben? as he kept asking “what about me?”)
this one is for Jears!
Phil: How did I get wet?
Veronica: No one knows. Perhaps you urinated.
Phil: In my face?
Linda: Kids… God’s little awkward-moment machines.
So many good ones to choose from already!
