“…hello, God; it’s me: Doctor Frasier Crane.”
Some great ones above, here’s two more.
“The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!”
“Here comes the Judge. Here comes the Judge…”
Hello, Newman.
That’s what *she *said.
Sheldon’s mother has a lot of great lines in Big Bang. This one concerns Noah’s Ark:
Sheldon: What did they feed the lions, mother?
Mary Cooper: The floating bodies of drowned sinners, of course.
Question about the “yellow light” line I’ve often had.
How is the answer “slow down” accurate? In the UK at an amber light you do one of2 things: Either maintain speed straight through the light or, if it is safe to do so, come to a complete stop. There’s no point where it means slow without stopping. I assume US signals are basically the same, but I don’t know.
Amber lights also are used as warning lights, indicating a school zone, construction zone, etc. IIRC, there was nothing in the set-up that said Jim was referring to traffic lights.
That makes sense, cheers. One less petty annoyance in my brain.
“There. Are. FOUR. Lights!”
Another one from MASH* that’s always stuck with me:
“There are certain rules about a war. Rule Number One is, young men die. And Rule Number Two is, doctors can’t change Rule Number One.”
From News Radio: the last line is the quote, but it needs some pretext.
Beth: Matthew, I think you mispronounced that guy’s name a few times.
Matthew: What? It’s uh uh Joey Butta…
Dave: No it isn’t, Matthew.

Hello, this is Carlton, your doorman
“It was on this day in 534 BC that Thespis stepped out on the stage at the Theater Dionysis during a choral song and dance and became the first person to speak words as an actor in a play.”
Or, going by the one I use most, from the same show: “Well, dang, Casey.”
Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! Yummy!
“Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.”
I mentioned a line in the old thread
========================
TV show lines that have stuck with you for a very long time.

that might be my real favorite: this one.
I love it when a plan comes together.
On the Clint Eastwood thing, he was in an early episode of Maverick, and he kept calling Jim Garner “Mav-a-RACK.” It stuck in my mind because it was so stupid – it’s not like, say, calling a guy named Butler “BUTT-ler,” or a guy named Shipley “Shitley.” It doesn’t mean anything, so I don’t get why he kept saying it. Even “Mav-a-WRECK” would have been better.
Anyway, that might be what you were thinking of.
Might well be. Thanks for the possible alternative. Clint was probably just trying to be noticed, whatever the case. Seems to have worked!
