Someone’s stealing my water! > Meg: But it just went down the drain. > Mayor West: They hit when you least expect it. > (Waters plant.) > Mayor West: SHOW YOURSELVES, COWARDS! I’ve spent $1,000 dollars of the tax payers money trying to find these thieves and I’ll spend $1,000,000 if that’s what it takes! > Meg: You know, I think I have my story. > Mayor West: NO! WAIT! You can’t print that! Thank God she’s just a figment of my imagination. > … > > We gather today to remember those brave Quahog men that were lost at sea. The bible declares, an eye for an eye, so let us now take our vengeance on this murderous ocean (stabs ocean). You won’t be hurting anyone anymore! > > … > > Robin: Self-control is sure tough sometimes, Batman! > Batman: "All virtues are, old chum.

Am I the only one who really wants to see him try King Lear? Either he stinks, and confirms people’s opinion of his acting ability- losing nothing, or he does a decent job and blows everybody away. ---

Here, here! You’ve got to admire an actor who got horribly typecast, but never got bitter about it. Instead he made the best out of it and eventually carved himself out a comfortable niche and has acheived a bit of a resurgence in the last few years. ---

Ah, Adam West. If he did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Fortunately for all concerned, it is remarkably easy to invent Adam West. **Adam West** ingredients: 1 William Shatner 4 vodka martinis 1/2 dry pint Quaaludes Mix and serve. ---
