_From **Austin Powers:** _

“Yeah, _baby_! And I thought it was just _me_!” 😄

Along with movies, TV has always been a rich source of quotes. Some that immediately come to mind are:

“Book him, Danno!”  
“I’ve _got_ to have thirty minutes!”  
“This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.”  
“I don’t know why everybody says you’re so dumb!”  
“Al, let’s have sex!”  
“Urethra!”  
“D’oh!”  
“Ex-cellent!”  
“It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m wearing Milk Bone shorts.”  
“This is Dr Ernest Smegma.”  
“Oh, thank you, God! Thank you so bloody much!”

(I use that last one a lot.)
