From Cheers: Eddie walks into the bar. Sam (to Woody): Get that man a club soda, no ice, red straw (or something like that). Woody (to Eddie): Is that right? Eddie: Yes Woody (to Sam): How did you know? Sam: He ordered it yesterday. Woody: I better hurry, then! Another Cheers: Norm and Frazier at the bar. Frazier looks sullen and Norm asks what’s wrong. Frazier (paraphrasing): Lilith is mad at me. Norm: Oh man. That’s rough. What’s your punishment? Frazier: I’m not getting any. Norm: You got off easy. Frazier, said with emphasis: You don’t understand. I’m not getting _any_. Norm: No, you don’t understand. You got off _easy_. ---

From “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”: 1. Will and Hillary are discussing how her standards in men might be just a bit too high, and Will’s hypothetical response to what Hillary will end up like (you must see rather than read): [Linky](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrS58YFTjo) It is now common in my house to reference any hypothetical with the comment that "you’ll have an old, raggedy halter top that say “jaaaaam”. And any sort of tic is accompanied by “dum dum didday!” 2) [Mama noooooo!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdvWecx5oN4) 1. [I can feel it! I can feel the power! YES!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yepI7I0TlA) ---

Look, if you all are going to start in on Firefly, why not just post links to the scripts of all 13 episodes. It would save time. “Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!” “Why can’t we go to the crappy planet where _I’m_ a hero?” “Him.” “No he doesn’t.” “Plus, I can kill you with my brain.” “Jonah, say hello to your Daddy.” One from Cheers: Woody: Oh great, a package of my Aunt Edna’s killer fudge brownies. Norm: Killers, eh? Woody: Yeah, the first time she made the recipe my Uncle Ford came running in from the field and got hit by a combine. He hung on for a couple of days…In the end he was just praying to die. Well, eat up! ---

(from _Friends_) Chandler: I get my ya-yas from Ikea. You have to put them together yourself, but they cost a little less.

Also one episode where Chandler’s having problems getting it up. He goes and talks to Joey, who (apparently) doesn’t really get what Chandler’s talking about. Chandler asks Joey what he does in the same situation, and Joey answers: “I just do it anyway”. 🙂 \*\*Back to the Future: \*\*Helloooo, McFly… NB ---

From the Drew Carey Show, the episode where Kate wants to sing for the band, and fails cluelessly & miserably, and boyfriend Oswald tries to stick up for her: DC: It’s our instruments. They’re out of tune. [glaring at Oswald] Horribly, horribly, out of tune. Oswald: But they mean well. Kate: Well, tune 'em up! DC: Can’t. We’re out of … tuning wax. Friends, the “Jeopardy” game: Ross: What does Monica say is her favorite movie? Joey & Chandler: Dangerous Liaisons! Ross: What is it really? J&C: Weekend at Bernies II!! ---

From Lost, one of the Hurley flashback episodes. Hurley’s mother is berating him for his laziness: > [@Lostpedia](#): > > CARMEN: Falling down is not exercise. The only time you move is to lift a drumstick from the bucket. Everyday it’s the same thing, Hugo – you work, you eat chicken. You have to change your life, Hugo. You think someone else will change it for you? Maybe if you pray everyday, Jesus Christ will come down from heaven, take 200 pounds and bring you a decent woman, and a new car. Yes, Jesus can bring you a new car. > > HURLEY: Maybe I don’t want to change. Maybe I like my life. > > [The phone rings.] > > CARMEN: Oh, that must be Jesus. [She goes to another room and picks up the phone.] Hola, momento. [Calling to Hurley] Yes, it is Jesus. He wants to know what color car you want. In our house, our reaction to unexpected phone calls frequently is, “Must be Jesus, asking us what color car we want.” and we’re Jewish, we don’t generally use that name. But the line really stuck with us. ---
