It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

 

• "Laugh while you can, monkey boy."
• "The Future Begins Tomorrow."
• "No matter where you go, there you are."
• "History is made at night. Character is what you are in the dark."
• Buckaroo: "It's like driving a truck."
   Alien John Parker: "Good. What is a truck?"

 The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. ~Mark Twain

Mitchell: Just the emerald city at the end of my yellow brick road
Cameron: Wow you did it
Mitchell: What?
Cameron: You made figure skating sound even gayer. 

Tallahassee: Out west, we hear it's out east, out east they hear it's out west. It's all bullshit. It's like you're a penguin at the North Pole hears the South Pole is real nice this time of year.
Columbus: There are no penguins in the North Pole.
Tallahassee: You wanna feel how hard I can punch? 

Wichita: Let's play the quiet game. 
Columbus: I've actually been meaning to ask you, have you been to Columbus, because I've been trying to... 
Wichita: Have you never played the quiet game?
 

Lou: Hey, girls, do I have to separate you?
Sean: He said that I had a weak mind, Lou.
Lou: Yeah, like he's pulling that outta thin air. 

Lucille: You're my third least favorite child.
Michael: I can live with that. 

 Lindsay: You know, it’s funny, all those years when I pretended to cry I used to use Dad’s death to get me going. I tried it with Mom’s, but I’d just end up smiling and ruining it.

Michael: Come on, face it. You just do all this charity crap just to stroke your ego. You don't even know what the auction's for tonight.
Lindsay: The wetlands.
Michael: To do what with them?
Lindsay: Dry them.
Michael: Save them.
Lindsay: From drying.
