Adopt-A-Quote

Okay, I don't know if anyone even wants to do this thread, but let's give it a shot.

This whole thread is giong to kind of be like teh dares thread, but only for quotes/lines. If you overheard it, that's great. Or it could be a quote from a book/movie you read that you thought was funny (please name title of the book/movie if possible), or it could be a line that you wanted in your Screnzy/NaNovel that just didn't cut it when (if) you edited it. Whatever it is here's the place to post it!

P.S. If you want to hear back from someone who used the quote, please add 'PPM' (Please private message) to the end of your post. If you steal a quote form a PPM'd opst, please respond.

I hope people have fun with this!

Please note that if the quote is from copyrighted material, and if you want to produce your script professionally, that line might need to be cut.

"I can't breathe. Is that a problem?"
"Why yes! Do you need CPR?"
"No, I'm going to be all right. Just, maybe, dead. But come on, CPR is just icky. Especially coming from you."
"Well that makes me feel loved and respected."

I just made this up, modeled after a conversation my friend and I had in P.E. the other day.

RE: Adopt-A-Quote

WrittenWord, I'm taking the naked bus driver one.

Okay, just realized how freakish that sounded. He probably won't be naked, but most likely wearing a speedo. *shivers at the thought of a nude beach* NO. I WILL NOT FOLLOW THAT THOUGHT!!!!!!!

Leaving: (this is in regard to the Italy trip, which I don't get to go on, but my friend (B) does)

A: I'm hiding in your suitcase.
B: Uh. . .
Me: No you're not! I've already claimed her suitcase. You can have the carry-on.
A: Oh. Okay.
B: Okay, so what's the count now?
Me: 3 people in your suitcase, 2 in your carry-on. I don't think you can fit any more, unless you get a bigger suitcase.
B: Yeah. Maybe you could just squish together. Oh wait. . . I did not mean that the way it sounded. I just meant that you could press close together, and make room for another person to squish in. . .
A: Stop. Just stop.
Me: Just quite while you're behind.
B: *facepalm*

"No, I'd really rather date a paper clip."

"OMG OMG OMG Guess what?" *pause* "You just lost the game!" (only to be used by people who know about the game)

"We have just proven that we still need parental supervision on a mini golf course."

*runs out screaming* "I have $3.38! I'm rich! I can buy cookies now!"

Me:"You're the worst driver in the world!"
Friend Driving: "Why?"
Me: "You didn't hit anything!"

All of these are up for grabs... just message me and tell me you're using them :)

RE: Adopt-A-Quote

These are great! I'm glad to see the adoptables forums picking up. I was beginning to worry. I practically lived on these forums last November...

Leaving:
(these are all from real conversations I've had)

"So discussing cooking with babies is acceptable at home, but not at a restaurant?"
"Exactly."

"Isn't if funny how you're scared of spiders and I'm not?"
"Not really."
"See, because I think it's hilarious."

"Stupid rap songs are ALWAYS more funny when sung by little children who don't know what 'ho' means."
"You disgust me."
"So does 50 Cent. That's why it's funny."

"It'll be like the Iron Chef of illegal downloading!"

"So... do you remember that time when we fit seven people into your closet?"
"And that makes the conversation LESS awkward?"

"It's legal in Sweden!"
"Really?"
"No, I just made that up so you'd say yes. But I do think that it's legal in South Africa."
"You're so full of crap."
"Yeah."

"I guess some people just have really boring movies."
"Or maybe they're just not the main character."
"...But I thought that everyone was the main character in their own movie. Isn't that the point of the metaphor?"
"Well maybe they used to be the main character, but they were so boring that we'd rather follow the B-Story, i.e. you."
"I'm glad you find me interesting."
"You're my dad. Crazy runs in the family. How could you NOT be interesting?"
"I think that was a complement."
"I think it was too."

RE: Adopt-A-Quote

Here are a few of the choicer things I have overheard at school (mostly in Chemistry. Go figure.)

"This (insert action of your choice) is shallow and pedantic."
~
A: "This is not group work!"
B: "But it takes a village to raise a child!"
~
"I'll go all GTA on anyone! Except for someone with a gun. Or any kind of weapon. I'll take on a lawyer."
~
"Have you ever played with sea monkeys?"
~
"Well, it is 6 times bigger, so what if I drank 6 times as much formaldehyde?"
~
"Aw, that's mean. No one wants a midget."

"They won't listen to arsonists. Not even environmentally conscious arsonists."
"Nobody is going to suspect and old lady of being an arsonist!"

"Oh, whoa, you're wearing a color!"
"I'm wearing several, actually."

"Life sucks. Really hard. Like a vacuum. Like a black hole."
"...But a black hole would suck up //life.//"
"Go black hole!"

"You're not listening again."
"Oh, bite me."
"...Listen, I am telling you this as a friend, if you ever walk into a hotel full of vampires, do NOT say that."

I have a couple. These are all snippets of real conversation. Oh, the joys of sitting in the passenger seat when everyone else is sitting behind you.

"Stop trying to pull my pants off!"

"Uh, that's my leg you just grabbed."

"Look, this is me trying to go poo!" (farts)
"Oh, ewww!"

Feel free to use some of the ones I've been caught saying at work.

A: I really don't like people
B: Really? But you sound so nice when you say hello.
A: My hello really means 'get the hell out of here' (pause) please.

"If stupidity could kill, I don't think I'd have a job anymore"

A: (super sweet voice) You just have a fantabulous night now!
B: What the f*ck is your problem?
A: None, now that you're leaving.

A: I could kill you.
B: But you won't.
A: How do you know I won't.
B: Because your rent would go up.
A: Oh, right.

I've got more along those lines if you want them. I'm more than happy to share myself.
