Lines from fiction you yearn to say in earnest.

[trekkiedane]

This post:

There are two lines I yearn to say in earnest:

"Release the hounds"

and

"Fly my pretties, FLY! <pause> Ugh. Continue the research."

In Gojis 'Japan is turning me into Howard Hughes'-thread inspired this.


Obviously a lot of us have had the chance to say things like make it so. and ...you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life and maybe even Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. But what about the lines you're just waiting for the right occasion to say? -do you have any? -what are they?

My wish-list is very long and starts with beam me up (duh!) and ends with set a course for Earth.

But of course those two aren't really things I'm likely to ever get the chance to say in earnest...

Your lines?

'Wabam wabisca, ip pit tah'

 

[trampledamage]

"And I'm telling you what we have to work with, I'm not making this stuff up"

It's a line from Apollo 13 and I can't count the amount of business meetings I've been in where I've had to bite my tongue from saying it!

My sister has a hard time not quoting CJ from the West Wing in meetings... "Wow, are you stupid!"

 

[ITL]

I have used "Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion" on occasion. While fixing them with a steely, earnest glare.

 

[captcalhoun]

"I've got better things to do tonight than die!"

or

"[insert name] must be stopped... No matter the cost..."

 

[Shatnertage]

I often say (or write) "must investigate further." Because usually at the juncture I have to investigate something further.

'Wabam wabisca, ip pit tah'

^Nice, but would anyone understand it (apart from us geeks and people with interchranial Google)?

 

[think]

"Somebody call somebody" =the end of that move 'seven'

or

Huston we have a problem... LOL

or

all the lines from monty python and the holy grail

"If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand!"

I would love to deliver that some day.

"So, [insert name here], we meet again!", preferably adding - "but this time, the advantage is mine!"

More seriously, "a stroke from the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles".

 

[trekkiedane]

"So, [insert name here], we meet again!", preferably adding - "but this time, the advantage is mine!"

I like that, but doesn't it need a title in there, like:

"So, [insert title here] [insert name here], we meet again! but this time, the advantage is mine!"

Even just a Mr or Ms makes it so much more potent

'In a hole, in the ground, there lived a hobbit'.

I said that, to someone today, on the bus.

You are of course quite right . Though I'm hoping for a "doctor", "professor", "director", "captain" or even "Mr/Madam President"...though I suppose "assistant manager" will do in a pinch...

'Mr temporary assistant regional junior manager'?


I'd never have that line ready, but, dang!, I'd love to!

 

[Deranged Nasat]

'Mr temporary assistant regional junior manager'?

You have to wonder quite what he did to end up with me as a personal nemesis....

Quite, but just the chance to hammer in that title word-by-word would be worth working under someone like that

-- "Rosebud." Naturally, I'd like to wait as long as I can to use it, but it would be a WTF cool way to go out.

-- "You can't handle the truth!" God, I've wanted to say that so many times in class.

-- "Round up the usual suspects." Can't think of a proper context, but what a cool line.

'Lemon-entry, my dear Watson'
