Franchise Only Dialogue You Use In Real Life...

[Farscape One]

This might sound like an odd topic, but I was wondering if anyone uses dialogue from episodes in regular situations.

For example, when I attempt something and it goes very badly, my wife will say, "Shaka...". Depending on how mad I am at the scenario , I'll either continue to try angrily or say, "When the walls fell."


There have been a couple times when my nephew will just swallow his food whole without chewing, and I'd say, "Teeth are for chewing." I always chuckle a bit after saying it, and he has never figured out why I do. I have yet to explain it to him... I'm keeping the joke running for as long as I can. I did have to tell my wife, though, but then she remembered. And laughed. Because that single line of dialogue always makes me laugh whenever I rewatch that episode... or think about Pakleds.


What about the rest of you folks? Any dialogue you use?

When I finish a class then sometimes I say “Let’s get the Hell out of here” to my students.

None of them get it, but I do, so… worth it.

I've been known to describe a dicy situation as a "Kobayashi Maru scenario."

"Fascinating" can be used in quite a few places.

I might yell "red alert" when some drunken dipship is on the road, followed by trying to activate KITT's rocket launchers the way James Bond would...

I raise my right eyebrow at the appropriate times of questioning or examining

When covid first began I was offering the Vulcan salute instead of handshakes

Oh, yeah, me too.

When dealing with users who demonstrate the premise that nothing is completely foolproof because complete fools are so ingenious, I've been known to say "We are far from home."

If I get into an empty lift I always say “Bridge” as the doors close.

I keep telling my cat she's a pretty cat, and a good cat.

Quoting Marta from TUC when I am in a hurry: Come on. We don't have a lot of time!

 

[C.E. Evans]

A couple of times when I've seen trouble approaching, I've said "Shields up."

I use "red alert" a lot. "Yellow alert" from time to time too.

Watching a show or movie when a doctor starts an invasive procedure on a patient...

My god man! Drilling holes in their head isn't the answer!

Paraphrasing of any detail, (instrument used, procedure, subject body part) is fair game.

I keep telling my cat she's a pretty cat, and a good cat.

I called my first cat "Spot"... at least for that first week before he made one. I now call him "Fek'lhr"...

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

I've been known to say "We are far from home."

And I say it in the best Grebnedlog impression I can manage.

I've also been known to say, "A user is smart; users are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it."

But I wasn't about to bang ALL THAT out on a clamshell phone!

Thanks. I seriously needed a laugh.

If I get into an empty lift I always say “Bridge” as the doors close.

If I'm in a lift by myself I like to hold an imaginary handle until it stops at my floor, TOS style...

I actually use a lot of 'Captain' talk in class too.

"Okay people, listen up..."

"Let's go to work!"

etc.

Or predicting answers in IELTS Listening Tests.... "Context is for Kings..."

Sadly there's no Brig for me to send students to and no way to call for Security.

BONUS:

As a Doctor Who fan I tend to say "Hello, Old Girl..." when I see my blue motorbike (and my motorbike is blue, chosen because of the TARDIS). I have also been known to lovingly stroke her dashboard when I feel she has done a good job...

We are mental aren't we?
