Words to live by

"Mr. V": That was nice work. You took a big chance doing that.
Frank Drebin: Well, you take a big chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your face in a fan.

- from Testimony of Evil (aka Dead Men Don't Laugh)

Marge Simpson: Your teenage son or daughter will think this wishbone necklace is really cool!
Man: I doubt my son or daughter is that stupid.

- from Homer's Barbershop Quartet

Bruce Wayne: It's sometimes difficult to think clearly when you're strapped to a printing press.

- from Batman (1960s TV series)

Interviewer: Well, can you... blow up the world?
Tick: I hope not. That's where I keep all my stuff.

Tick: Evil is just plain bad! You don't coddle it. You've gotta smack on the nose with rolled up newspaper of goodness.

Tick: ...evil's out there making handcrafted mischief for the swap meet of villainy. And you can't strike a good deal with evil, no matter how much you haggle. We don't need to look for a bargain. Goodness is cheap, because it's free, and free is as cheap as it gets.
