Tu’Pari: Are you ambassador G’Kar?
G’Kar: This is Ambassador G’Kar’s quarters. This is Ambassador G’Kar’s table. This is Ambassador G’Kar’s dinner. What part of this progression escapes you?


Almost anything G'Kar said was quotable, IMHO

Another one from G'Kar of Babylon 5, which was my signature at a couple of other Forums:

By G’Quan, I can’t recall the last time I was in a fight like that. No moral ambiguity, no… hopeless battle against ancient and overwhelming forces. They were the bad guys, as you say, we were the good guys. And they made a very satisfying thump when they hit the floor’


And of course, Serenity (The movie--the Series Firefly is worthy of it's own post.

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think. Don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.
--River Tam

And River's best line was maybe her shortest:

My turn


Jayne Cobb summing up the meaning of life:

Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly only when I'm gettin' paid.


Mal, she is starting to damage my calm!


And of course, Captain Mal

This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.


The way I remember it, the albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it. [to Inara] Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.


So no more running. I aim to misbehave.


What was that?
-Mals' first and last words of the movie.

And of course, The Operative:

Key members of Parliment. Key. The minds behind every diplomatic, military and covert operation in the galaxy and you put them in a room with a psychic


I could spend all day quoting that film.

The way the actor delivered that line was brilliant all by itself!

Absolutely wonderful use of the english language.

Do one-liners that have become internet memes count?

Well, if we're quoting from TV shows.....It's...

No One expects the Spanish Inquisition!!


and maybe the best rant of all times...(IMHO):

'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

Reminiscent of Mel Brooks' History of the World: Pt. 1:

Court aide: Sire! The peasants are revolting!
King Louis (played by Mel Brooks): You said it. They stink on ice.

The following are other bits from HotW:Pt1:

Empress Nympho (Madeline Kahn) to her litter carriers (NSFW): Will you please walk on the same foot at the same time? My *tits* are falling off!!!

Empress Nympho: Do I have any openings this man might fit?
Crowd: Ooooohhhh!
Aide: We have need of a wine steward.
Josephus (Gregory Hines): I've got a great corkscrew.
Crowd: Whoooooaaaaahhhh!!!
Josephus: This is a hip crowd.

Backup singers: Hey Torquemada... whaddya say?
Torquemada (Mel Brooks): I say I just got back from the Auto-Da-Fey.
Backup: Auto-Da-Fey? What's the Auto-Da-Fey?
Torque: It's what you oughtn't to do, but you do anyway.

Distinguished looking man in a smoking toga with a pipe (Hugh Hefner in a cameo) to a group of pretty Roman ladies: It's a new concept. I call it The Centerfold.
Girls: (giggles)

King Louis playing chess using human pieces on a giant chessboard: Knight jumps Queen!
King Louis: Bishop jumps Queen!
King Louis: Pawn jumps Queen!
King Louis: Everybody jumps the Queen!

(Later) King Louis: It's good to be the King.

You left out the last line!

King Louis: Everybody jumps the Queen!
King Louis: GANG-BANG!!

Count DeMonet: "Your tip." (drops a franc in the bucket)
The Piss-Boy: "I'll get it later."

The Piss-Boy, dressed up as the King: "I'm not the King!"
Crowd: "BULLSHIT!!"

I hope this particular incident didn't put you off flying Miss. Statistically speaking it's still the safest way of flying.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense
