For #18. > [@pravnik](#): > > Jim Rockford, _The Rockford Files_ Yes, excellent. That show had such great dialog, but so much of it was interaction between two characters, and I coudn’t find just a single line that really captured it. ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > “I’m a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.” > > “I’m not a eunuch!” The first one is Batman on _Justice League Unlimited_. I believe he was explaining why he and Wonder Woman are incompatible as love interests. The second one is Angel on _Angel_, in the episode where Wesley had to pretend to be Angel. Here’s mine: 1. Ever since I was 14 years old, I’ve always fantasized about making love on the space shuttle… with a space prostitute. ---

> [@cbawlmer](#): > > 1. Ever since I was 14 years old, I’ve always fantasized about making love on the space shuttle… with a space prostitute. That was David Foley’s character on “News Radio.” I’m calling this #35. Nest quote should be 36. Let’s get a list of unanswered ones: 1. “Spare me your pork-scented lies!” 2. “Your ventricle is showing.” 3. “I’m going to show you the glorious results of a misspent youth.” 4. “I hate fondue - I’m always losing my bread.” 5. “Everyone knows Lincoln loved mayonaise.” 6. “Anna, if you tell me to bend like a willow I’m gonna throw up.” 7. “You know, we’re not the only ones destroying trees. What about beavers? You call yourself an environmentalist, why don’t you go club a few beavers?” 8. “I’m a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.” 9. “Try to save everyone and all you’ll end up with is a lot of enemies and a messiah complex.” 10. “I’m not a eunuch!” 11. “If I had a dollar for every brain you didn’t have, I’d have one dollar.” 12. “Snot! Snot! Snot!” 13. “Oh thank God! He’s white!” ---

Then I’ll try a slightly less WA guess (it suddenly came to me last night): Pal Kenzy to Anna Shoun in _Star Cops_? (And I wouldn’t mind either of _them_ coming to me late at night … but never mind that.)
